This is a false butt hinge, fitted to the face of a door for a traditional, hand-finished look while the door itself is hung on a concealed hinge behind it. It's a detail you'll see on in-frame and shaker style kitchens, where the joinery look matters as much as how the doors actually open and close.

At 75mm and finished in matt black, it sits on the door edge to echo the appearance of a traditional cabinet hinge, without taking on any of the weight or movement of the door. Fixings are included, so it's ready to fit once your door and cabinet hardware are in place.

Benefits

• Gives your doors the look of a traditional butt hinge, which suits in-frame and shaker kitchen designs where visible joinery is part of the style.
• Matt black finish works well against painted timber and darker cabinetry, and won't show fingermarks the way a polished finish can.
• Sold as a pair with fixings included, so both hinges on a door match and go straight on without a separate trip for screws.
• Fitted purely for appearance, so your real hinge does the work of holding and adjusting the door. That means the false hinge doesn't need replacing if your door ever needs adjusting or rehanging.

Worth knowing before you specify these: because the hinge is decorative, it needs to be paired with a proper concealed or functional hinge doing the actual job of hanging the door. Your Mastercraft designer will talk you through where this works on your chosen door style, and where it doesn't.
