• Concealed Hinges: These hinges are basically meant for cabinets. As the name suggests, these hinges are not visible from the outside of the cabinet. Concealed hinges consist of two parts fastened together by slipping one half on the other and then tightening a screw. They offer a smooth, unbroken cabinet surface. The radius of the mobile leaf opens the door out and clears the cabinet frame.

• Wrap-Around Hinges: This type of hinge simply wraps around the cabinet frame from the front end to the edge. They are suitable for cabinets that have overlapping doors. There are two types of wrap around hinges:

1. Full Wrap-Around: In this, the frame wing wraps three sides of the frame completely and screws to the inside edge.
2. Partial Wrap-Around: This type of hinge partially wraps around the back of the door frame. In this, the frame wing wraps around two sides of the frame and screws to the edge. The hinge has a plain flat leaf for the cabinet and it can also be used on a frameless cabinet.

• Surface Mount Hinges: In this type, both wings of the hinge are fixed to the outer surfaces of the cabinet door and frame.
• Face Frame Hinges: It is also known as semi-concealed hinge as the door wing is concealed. The frame wing is visible only when the cabinet door is closed.
• Inset Hinges: In inset hinges, the frame wing becomes visible on closing the cabinet door. The door wing is usually hidden and extends into the frame cavity.
• Reverse Bevel Hinges: In this type, the frame wing covers two sides of the frame thereby allowing the door to overlap the frame. The door wing carries a door with the mounting frame extending inward.
• Overlay Hinges: In this type, the frame wing of the hinge covers two sides of the frame and makes the door to overlap the frame.
• Flush Hinges: Also known as full inset hinge, or butt hinge, both the leaves of flush hinge are fixed to the inner surface of the cabinet door and frame. In this type, both the wings of the hinge are concealed and only the knuckle is visible.
