→ How to determine and calculate overlay
The overlay is the correlation of a cabinet door to the cabinet side
panel or the face frame. The amount of overlay determines the type
of hinge that should be used. Different suppliers all can use the same
formula, however be cautious, as their constants might be different.
There are 3 factors that are used to calculate the overlay:
The cup drilling distance or tab. (K) Full overlay hinge.
The height or the mounting plate. (H) Crank “A”.
The hinge constant, which is a value set by the supplier. D = (15 + K) - H
Overlay = (constant + tab) – mounting plate height
Full Overlay
This means that the door significantly overlaps the cabinet opening
on all four sides. A full overlay on a frameless cabinet typically ranges
from 16–19 mm (5/8"–3/4"). A full overlay hinge is used along with a
0, 2, or 3 mm mounting plate.
Partial, Half, and 1/2" Overlay
Any of these partial overlays means that the door overlaps the
cabinet less than the full overlay. Partial on a frameless cabinet
would be between 6–16 mm (1/4"–5/8").
Inset
Inset doors fit completely into the face frame. They use a special 1/2” overlay face frame hinge.

hinge known as an inset hinge, or an overlay hinge can be used with D = (10 + K) - H

> Determine cabinet type:
– Frameless or Face Frame
> Select the overlay type:
– Full, partial, inset
> Select the opening angle or specialized style of the hinge
– 95, 105, 110, 120, 165, blind corner, angled (see below)
> Select the type of insertion into the door for the hinge cup
and the type of fixing of the mounting plate to the inside wall
or face frame of the cabinet
– Screw mount, press-fit/with dowels, Rapido (turned dowel),
Logica (press-fit with locking clip) Half overlay hinge.
