The term concealed hinge is interchangeable with \u201cEuropean Style\u201d in reference to cabinetry hinges. The purpose of the concealed hinge is to provide a smooth surface to the outer appearance of a kitchen cabinet run. The major advantage, beyond the purely aesthetic value of concealed hinges, is the ability to make minor adjustments very simply to the cabinet doors after they are installed by turning small adjustment screws. Removal of a cabinet door with concealed hinges is also a simplified process with a concealed hinge because the hardware does not have to be removed from the door.<\/p>\n<p>There are three basic styles of concealed hinges: full overlay, half overlay and insert.
