Cabinet Hinges – Nickel

Nickel cabinet hinges from Timco, designed for overlay fitting on kitchen units, bathroom cabinets and freestanding furniture. These are concealed cup hinges, meaning they sit recessed into the door panel and stay out of sight when the door is closed. If you’ve ever looked at a well-fitted kitchen and wondered how the doors hang so cleanly, this is the mechanism doing the work.

Each hinge suits a 35mm diameter rebate, which is the standard size for the vast majority of cabinet doors in domestic and light commercial use. The sprung action means the door has a controlled close without needing a separate soft-close mechanism, which keeps things simpler and faster to fit. At £1.98 a pair, you can kit out a full kitchen without it hurting the budget.

Where Nickel Cabinet Hinges Work Best

These hinges open to 90 degrees, which is the standard requirement for most cabinet applications. Overlay fitting means the door sits on top of the cabinet frame rather than inside it, which is by far the most common configuration in UK kitchens and bathrooms. The nickel finish gives a clean, neutral look that works with most modern hardware finishes without clashing.

Fixings are included, which saves the minor but irritating job of tracking down the right screws separately. The mounting plate clips to the arm for quick alignment during install, and most fitters will have a full set of doors hung in a fraction of the time compared to traditional butt hinges. The concealed format also means any minor adjustments can be made after fitting by loosening the plate screws, which is a genuine advantage on site when frames aren’t always perfectly square.
