Zero-Clearance Hinge

A specialized concealed hinge designed to allow a cabinet door to open a full 90 to 170 degrees even when the door is immediately adjacent to a wall, appliance, or perpendicular cabinet. Standard hinges in this situation would only open 90 degrees before the door hits the obstruction, but zero-clearance hinges use a cranked arm geometry that swings the door completely clear. They are essential for blind corner cabinets and cabinets flanking refrigerators or walls.
