What is the min gap left between door and face of the frame when closed with this hinge (in comparison, Blum Compact Series leave a 1/4" gap)?

i used these last year on a job yes the hinge does come away from the frame about 1/4'' and i was able to make adjustments in the face frame for the doors to fit closer. there is a slit adjustment on them and truth is you have to work it on the frame and make sure you recess the hinge into the backside of the door flush and flat for a better finish, a bit tricky yet doable. the doors showing at the end of a row is what you need to focus on, as that is where you see the gap the most. once all the other doors are in place then it looks good. . hope this helps .iron brian

There is no soft-close on these hinges. Soft close hinges are typically larger. If you need these hinges and want soft-close, you could look to see if something like this will work. Blumotion Hinge Adapter, Compact w/ Spacer - 10 Pack

The hinge is not off center. It is right on. However, I had issue with the measurements not being exactly as described.Double check your measurements and leave room for slight overlap.

However they are made, if your have your door all the way open, it stays in place there. But if you open it up to about 18 inches, when you left go of it, it begins to slowly close. It closes all the way. We bought 2 hinges for 24 doors and they work great. Also great savings compared to local stores.

this item is surface mountedyour concern is whether or not there's a large enough gap between the door and the door frame

No, and not all have that gap. It is merely a matter of the rod sticking out a bit further from some housings than from others. If you saw a schematic of the parts, it would make more sense. Think of it as a guillotine (that's what it is, by the way, a guillotine gate valve). All it takes is a bit of design variance in the height of the housing, length of the rod, or height of the gate to cause this. The actual 'seal' occurs because of two rubber o-rings inside each gate-block face. In fact, the valve is actually closed BEFORE you have pushed it completely to the closed-position, anyway.

How long and in inches please, what's the gap dimension between rubber to rubber? Have vinyl windows with 1/4" frame.

it can vary based on the install. if flush with edge of hinge 3/8 of an inch.

When you open the door you need another 3/4 of an inch. Might get by with 1/2

These hinges require 1/8" space at the top and bottom and 1/8" space at the side walls. If you are butting two doors togrther only allow 1/16" for each door so you have a 1/8" gap between the doors.

I didn't get in their and measure, But mine are smaller than the original and Im betting they are 1/4" while it does make a larger gap I have no problem with it and enjoy the stainless steel

Sorry but I do not know that information. If you can send me a photo of your current one -especially the hinge then I can tell you if it is the same. Brian briaddress@yahoo.com

Our doors are 1 5/16" thick, and there is probably a 1/16" gap left. If your doors are biggerr than that, then you may have to look for an alternative.

There is a very slight gap between my doors. If you adjust the hinges you can get it to where it is not noticed.

My installation was a two-piece door that was hinged along the length of the door. In addition, the hinge was at the corner of the cabinet. The only adjustment that my installation required was a 1/8 inch relief in the mounting surface where the Blum hinge attached to the cabinet wall; which I accomplished with a Stanley SurForm file. It would be helpful if a picture of my installation could be posted.

There's no gap on mine. Well, the gap is symmetrical all the way across the top, I should say--maybe 1/8 inch or so all the way across. But in wiggling the door slightly, I found there's a tiny bit of give in the right hinge, whereas there isn't in the left. Maybe it's a weak spot in the manufacture or assembly.

I can provide you with the information you are looking for but technically the question you are asking is not relevant to what you are looking for. When you open up the hinge to accept the door or gate you are using there is a slot created between the bent tabs that hold the hinge pins/springs. That opening is the restricting factor that dictates how thick of a door/gate it will accept. That slot is 1-3/8" so it will accept up to that thickness. Hope that helps
