Back Flap Hinges

Flap hinges, often known as back flap hinges, are designed for lightweight doors, cabinets and drop-down flaps where a neat, surface-mounted hinge is required. These hinges feature wide rectangular leaves that provide strong support across the surface of the door and frame, making them ideal for furniture doors, cupboard doors and small internal flaps where stability is important.

A back flap hinge operates similarly to a standard hinge but is mounted fully onto the surface of both the door and frame rather than being recessed. The wider hinge leaves help distribute weight more evenly, allowing the door or flap to open and close smoothly while maintaining reliable support. This design makes flap hinges particularly suitable for cabinets, storage units and lightweight timber doors.

Our range of flap hinges for doors and furniture is available in a variety of durable materials and finishes to complement different styles of hardware. Options commonly include steel and brass hinges, with finishes such as polished brass, chrome, satin chrome and black finishes. Combining simple installation with dependable performance, back flap hinges offer a practical solution for cabinet doors and lightweight door applications.
