Hinges & Channels

Hinges - Buy Ebco, Hettich & TplusA Cabinet Hinges & Drawer Channels Online

Hinges are among the most heavily used mechanical components in any home - a single kitchen cabinet hinge can open and close thousands of times a year - and getting the right one, with the correct opening angle, load rating and closing action, is what determines whether a cabinet door swings smoothly for years or sags and binds within months. At Fixxly, this range covers Ebco, Hettich and TplusA - concealed cabinet hinges in regular and soft-close action, full-size butt hinges for doors, and door hardware, alongside the drawer channels that carry the load beneath. This guide covers what's stocked here, how to choose and fit hinges correctly, and how to size the right hardware for each door.

Hinges: regular close and soft close

Ebco's Euro Regular Close and Euro Soft Close hinges cover both ends of the market: regular close is simpler and more affordable, while soft close adds a built-in damper that stops a door slamming shut in its final inches of travel. Hettich hinges - the Onsys range in Soft Close, Non-Silent and SOH variants - extend this further, each suited to slightly different door weights and opening needs.

Ebco hinges and door hardware

Ebco hinges include a 165-degree Regular Close option that gives a wide opening angle useful for corner cabinets, alongside 4-inch standard butt hinges for heavier or traditional door applications. Beyond hinges, door hardware more broadly includes the TplusA stainless steel butt hinges in SS 202 and SS 304 grades, sized from 3x2x1.7 inch up to 5x4.5x3 inch.

Buy hinges - drawer channels by load rating

When you buy hinges for a kitchen, the drawer channel beneath deserves equal attention. Ebco's 35kg Soft Close Telescopic channel and Hettich's KA4732 and KA5332 channels cover standard to heavier kitchen drawers, while the Hettich Quadro V6 Full Extension channel is built for premium, heavy-duty applications like pots and pans storage.

Matching hinge count to door size

A tall or heavy wardrobe door generally needs three hinges rather than two, since the extra fixing point spreads the load and prevents the door sagging on its top and bottom hinges alone over time. For standard kitchen cabinet doors, two Ebco or Hettich hinges are usually sufficient, but always check the manufacturer's weight guidance for the specific door size.

Choosing between regular and soft-close

• Standard cabinets on a budget: regular close hinges from Ebco.
• Daily-use kitchens and wardrobes: soft-close hinges from Ebco or Hettich to prevent slamming.
• Heavier or traditional doors: TplusA stainless steel butt hinges, SS 304 for bathroom or exterior use.
• Heavy drawers like pots and pans: Ebco's 35kg channel or the Hettich Quadro V6.
• Tall or heavy wardrobe doors: three hinges rather than two, to prevent sagging.

Installing hinges and channels correctly

Correct installation matters as much as choosing the right hardware. Mark and drill hinge positions accurately using a jig where possible, since a slightly misaligned hinge is one of the most common causes of a door that does not sit flush once fitted. Drawer channels need to be fixed level on both sides - even a small tilt between the left and right channel causes a drawer to bind or run unevenly.

Frequently asked questions

Does Fixxly stock genuine Ebco, Hettich and TplusA hinges?

Yes - every hinge, channel and butt hinge in this range on Fixxly is genuine Ebco, Hettich or TplusA.

What is the difference between SS 202 and SS 304 door hardware?

SS 304 offers greater corrosion resistance than SS 202, making it the better choice for bathroom or exterior doors facing regular moisture.

Is a soft-close hinge worth the extra cost?

For daily-use cabinets and drawers, yes - it prevents slamming and protects both the cabinet and its contents over years of use.

How many hinges does a wardrobe door need?

A tall or heavy wardrobe door generally needs three hinges rather than two, spreading the load and preventing the door from sagging on its top and bottom hinges alone over time.

What should I check before I buy hinges for a kitchen drawer?

Match the drawer channel rating to what the drawer will actually carry - a 35kg channel suits most kitchen drawers, while heavier applications like pots and pans benefit from a higher-rated or full-extension channel.

Why does my drawer bind or run unevenly after fitting?

This is usually an installation issue rather than a faulty channel - if the left and right channels are not fixed perfectly level with each other, even a small tilt causes the drawer to bind.
