FAQs

The process involves identifying your cabinet style, the specific corner type, and your desired functionality. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to choose the right corner hinges:

  • Identify Your Corner Cabinet Type

Corner cabinets are typically either a Blind Corner or an L-Shaped/Lazy Susan Corner. The type dictates the kind of hinge you need.

  • Understand Corner Hinge Types

  Blind Corner Hinges

  Bi-Fold Corner Hinges

Corner hinges are the most important type of hinge in a kitchen because they solve the problem of maximising accessible storage space in a confined, 90-degree corner. Corner hinges are specifically engineered to accommodate the geometry of the corner, allowing the doors to open in a way that provides full, obstruction-free access to a deep and awkward cabinet interior.

The Godrej Pi-Corner hinges differ from generic or conventional hinges through a combination of advanced features, quality certifications, and specific opening angles tailored for both common corner types. They are designed to handle the demanding requirements of kitchen corner cabinets with enhanced convenience (clip-on/slip-on) and durability (BIFMA certified, nickel-plated).

If you need a corner hinge for a corner cabinet, you must choose the one that matches your specific cabinet construction (face-frame, frameless) and door overlay (full, half, or inset).

Below are step-by-step instructions for installing types of common concealed corner hinges:

  • Installation for Bi-Fold Corner Hinges 

A Bi-Fold corner setup involves two different types of hinges working together on two doors:

Door 1 (Attached to Cabinet): Uses a wide-angle hinge 

Door 2 (Attached to Door 1): Uses the Bi-Fold hinge

A. Step-by-Step for Door 1 (Wide-Angle Hinge)

Attach Hinge Cup to Door

Attach Mounting Plate to the Cabinet.

Clip Door to Cabinet: Align the hinge arm with the mounting plate and push firmly until you hear a "click". If you have a clip-on hinge, this secures the first door to the cabinet box.

B. Step-by-Step for Door 2 (Bi-Fold Hinge)

Attach Bi-Fold Hinge to Door 1

Join Door 1 and Door 2

Adjust and Align

  • Installation for Blind Corner Hinges

A Blind Corner hinge is designed to swing the door out and away from the cabinet opening, clearing the path to the inner blind corner storage.

Final Adjustment

Side-to-Side: To adjust the gap between the door and the adjacent filler strip.

Depth (In/Out): To ensure the door is flush with the surrounding cabinet fronts.

Height (Up/Down): To align the door with the rest of the cabinet run.

By following four simple maintenance steps—cleaning, lubricating, checking alignment, and protecting—you can ensure your corner hinges provide smooth, quiet operation for many years.
