Ø 26 mm hinges for furniture and framed doors
Ø 26 mm hinges for furniture and framed doors
Hinges with a Ø 26 mm cup diameter are compact furniture hinges that are mainly used when there is limited space for fixing in the door. They are particularly well suited to framed doors with narrow frames, smaller furniture, bathroom cabinets and other constructions where a standard hinge with a Ø 35 mm cup is too large.
When should you choose a Ø 26 mm hinge?
- Narrow framed doors: the smaller cup requires less space in the door frame than a Ø 35 mm hinge.
- Compact furniture: a good alternative when the construction has limited space for the hinge.
- Existing furniture: suitable when replacing older hinges where the door has already been drilled for a Ø 26 mm cup.
Ø 26 mm was previously a common standard for furniture hinges and is still used in many pieces of furniture and special constructions. When replacing an existing hinge, it is important to check both the cup diameter and the other installation dimensions.
Different designs and opening angles
The range includes Ø 26 mm hinges for full-overlay, half-overlay and inset doors, among others. There are also models for glass doors as well as special hinges for various angled constructions.
Which hinge you need depends on how the door is to be positioned in relation to the cabinet carcass, the door construction and the desired opening angle. Also check which mounting plate should be combined with the relevant hinge model.
Frequently asked questions about Ø 26 mm hinges
What is a Ø 26 mm hinge?
A Ø 26 mm hinge is a concealed furniture hinge with a cup diameter of 26 mm. It is mainly used when there is limited space in the door or when an existing piece of furniture has already been drilled for 26 mm hinges.
When should I choose Ø 26 mm instead of Ø 35 mm?
Ø 26 mm is a good choice for narrow framed doors, smaller furniture and other constructions where a standard Ø 35 mm hinge takes up too much space. Ø 35 mm, on the other hand, is the most common standard for modern kitchen doors and cabinets.
Are Ø 26 mm hinges suitable for framed doors?
Yes, the smaller cup diameter makes Ø 26 mm hinges particularly useful for framed doors with narrow frames where there is not enough material for a 35 mm cup.
Can I replace an old Ø 26 mm hinge with a new one?
Often this is possible, but the cup diameter is only one of the dimensions that need to match. Also check the drilling pattern, installation dimensions, opening angle, door position and which mounting plate is used before choosing a replacement hinge.
Are there Ø 26 mm hinges for full-overlay and inset doors?
Yes, Ø 26 mm hinges are available in different versions for full-overlay, half-overlay and inset doors, among others. The correct model is chosen based on how the door is to be positioned in relation to the cabinet carcass.
Do I need a mounting plate for the Ø 26 mm hinge?
Yes, many Ø 26 mm hinges are used together with a separate mounting plate that is fixed to the cabinet carcass. Always check which mounting plate is compatible with the relevant hinge model.
How do I measure whether my existing hinge is Ø 26 mm?
Measure the diameter of the round recess, or cup, drilled into the back of the door. If the hole is approximately 26 mm in diameter, you will normally need a hinge with a Ø 26 mm cup.
