Titus T-Type hinges: Setting new standards in cabinet hardware

Clare Hollister

In cabinet hardware, Titus continues to lead the way with its innovative T-type hinge range. This new generation of hinges combines versatility, ease of use, and superior performance, making them an ideal choice for cabinet manufacturers and end-users alike.

At the core of the T-type range is Titus’ commitment to delivering reliable and consistent performance throughout a cabinet’s lifetime. The renowned ‘Confident Close’ feature ensures a consumer-preferred soft closing action, characterised by fast closing, late start of deceleration, and quiet landing with a SoftTouch feel. This carefully engineered closing action adds a touch of luxury to every cabinet, enhancing the overall user experience.

One of the standout features of the T-type hinges is their versatility. Suitable for door thicknesses ranging from 15 to 26 mm (up to 34 mm for specific models), these hinges offer flexibility across a wide range of cabinet designs. This adaptability allows manufacturers to streamline their production processes and inventory management while maintaining high-quality standards.

The T-type hinges boast several innovative features that set them apart in the market. The unique 3Way snap-on mounting system allows for intuitive hinge-to-plate mounting in three directions, greatly simplifying door installation, especially for tall doors requiring multiple hinges. This design speeds up assembly and ensures enhanced stability and consistent performance.

Another key attribute is the hinges’ high tolerance to misalignment and drilling variations. This feature ensures reliable door closing even in accidental misalignment, providing both manufacturers and end-users peace of mind. The proven concept of soft closing in the hinge cup, with a transversally positioned damper, allows for intuitive damping adjustment and consistent performance.

Titus offers the T-type hinges in various finishes, including nickel-plated, stainless-steel and Noir dark finishes, allowing for seamless integration with different cabinet aesthetics.

The T-type range consists of several specialised models designed to meet various application needs. The innovative T-type PressTo model provides quick and tool-less mounting, with an effortless snap-on locking mechanism that significantly reduces assembly time. It is suitable for chipboard, MDF, and solid wood doors.

The T-type 95 is designed for thick doors up to 34 mm, with optimised kinematics for a 95° opening angle. It allows for narrow reveals between doors while maintaining reliable performance across various door sizes and weights.

The T-type-i 170 features a wide-angle hinge that enables cabinet doors to open to a full 170°. It also includes an integrated damper for smooth operation. This hinge offers exceptional stability, full accessibility to the cabinet, and zero door protrusion at a 90° opening angle. As a result, it is an ideal choice for kitchen pantry units with inner drawers or pull-out systems.

The T-type Pie-cut corner cabinet is a specialised hinge with a double lock opening mechanism. It provides easier handling and reliable door opening, with full access to the cabinet interior at a 70° opening. When both doors are opened and locked at 25°, they work as one unit, moving away from the user’s working space without hitting nearby cabinets.

All T-type hinges feature easy door alignment with cam adjustment screws, ensuring optimal performance on doors from 15 to 25 mm thick. Titus offers a wide range of mounting plates, including cam-adjustable cruciform, linear, and face frame options, as well as plates with and without damping.

With opening angles ranging from 95° to 170°, various hinge cup drilling patterns, and multiple fixing options for both hinge cups and mounting plates, this comprehensive offering ensures that there’s a T-type solution for virtually every cabinet application.

The Titus T-type hinge range is a significant advancement in cabinet hardware technology. Combining ease of use, versatility, and superior performance, these hinges offer a compelling solution for manufacturers looking to enhance their products’ quality and user experience. From the innovative PressTo system to the wide-opening T-type-i 170, Titus provides options to meet every cabinet design need. As the industry continues to evolve, Titus remains at the forefront, driving innovation and setting new standards in hardware excellence.
