Salice Pacta - Compact Push to open Flap Hinge with Mounting Plates (Power rating I )

Salice Pacta: The Ultimate Compact Push-to-Open Flap Hinge (Power Rating I)

Salice Pacta, a revolutionary compact hinge system specifically engineered for downward-opening flap doors. Unlike traditional systems that rely on bulky gas struts or intrusive cables, the Salice Pacta offers a clean, streamlined aesthetic with high-performance mechanics hidden within a sleek profile.

The Power Rating I (Medium Strength) is the versatile "sweet spot" of the range, optimised for medium-sized doors. It delivers a controlled, decelerated opening motion - the signature S-move action - that ensures your cabinet doors glide down smoothly without slamming.

Key Features & Benefits

• Minimalist "Push-to-Open" System: Perfect for modern, handle-less furniture. A simple touch on the door front triggers the mechanism for effortless access.

• Flush Surface Integration: When fully open, the door lies perfectly horizontal and flush with the cabinet base, creating an extended, continuous work surface or writing desk.

• Space-Saving Design: No external stays, pistons, or cables are required, leaving the interior of your cabinet completely unobstructed.

• Integrated Smove Deceleration: Features a built-in damper that controls the descent of the flap, protecting hinges and cabinetry from impact.

  • Side adjustment: -1.5 mm to +1.5 mm

  • Height adjustment: -1.5 mm to +1.5 mm

FAQ: Salice Pacta vs. Standard Flap Stays

Q: Do I need a central hinge? A: For cabinets wider than 900mm (35"), we strongly recommend adding a Salice Pacta Central Hinge to ensure stability and prevent door bowing.

Q: Is it suitable for heavy doors? A: The Power Rating I is for medium doors (3.5 - 6.5kg). If your door is heavier (up to 9.5kg), you should opt for the Power Rating S (Heavy) version.

Q: Can I use this for upward-opening doors? A: No, the Pacta is specifically designed for downward (fall) flaps only. For upward-opening doors, we recommend the Salice Wind or Lift systems.
