Application and Introduction of Internal and External Hinges

Internal and external hinges are commonly used in furniture and cabinet applications to allow doors or lids to open and close smoothly.
Internal hinges are installed on the inside of the cabinet or door, making them less visible and more aesthetically pleasing. They are commonly used in modern furniture and cabinetry where a sleek and minimalist look is desired. Internal hinges also offer a greater degree of adjustability in terms of door alignment and closing force.
External hinges, on the other hand, are installed on the outside of the cabinet or door and are more visible. They are commonly used in traditional or antique furniture and cabinetry, where the hinge design is an important decorative element. External hinges may also offer a greater degree of strength and durability compared to internal hinges.
Both internal and external hinges are available in a variety of materials, including stainless steel, brass, and plastic, and in different sizes and shapes to accommodate different door and cabinet sizes and weights. Some hinges may also have additional features, such as soft-close mechanisms, to ensure quiet and gentle closing of doors and lids.
