Cliffside Industries Introduces New Hardware Suites

Drawing on decades of experience distributing traditional solid brass hardware

Cliffside Industries proudly introduces our new hardware suites. Each suite contains a variety of items designed to be used in conjunction with one another. Each suite contains a minimum of three knobs, a 3″cc pull, a 3″cc cup pull, an 8″cc pull, a 12″cc pull, and two latches. Any item from any suite can be mixed and matched with items from another. Additionally, all four solid brass suites are available complete in all of our top ten finishes, including  Antique Brass, Black, Iron, Old Antique, Old Copper, Polished Brass, Polished Chrome, Polished Nickel, Silver Satin, and Venetian Bronze. Cliffside also offers six different hinge styles in finishes to match nearly every suite. The four solid brass suites include:

Scroll Suite

This suite contains the scroll-style pulls SP-3, SP-8, and SP-12. Any knobs or cup pulls in our line may be used with this suite, but we particularly recommend the 100, 100-20, or 105 series knobs and the K4235 cup pull. See the photos below for more details. Due to the sleek ball design in the middle of the pull, Cliffside’s new ball tip hinges work very well with this design.

Rope Suite

This suite contains the rope-design pulls K344, K344-8, and K344-12. A new cup pull, K544, has been designed specifically for this suite as well, though customers wishing for a simpler look may certainly choose any other piece. The B674-31 and B721 knobs also have the rope design on their faces, though we recommend the 161 series for customers seeking a simpler solution. Cliffside’s line of 3-8-OFFSET hinges add a definitive sparkle to this hardware series.

Criss-Cross Suite

Many new items are available in this suite, including the P-399-8 and P-399-12 pulls, which match the original P-399. Previously available in only two finishes, this entire line, which includes the P-398 cup pull, the K-580 knob, and the new K-579 knob, is now available in all of the top ten finishes. With this decorative look, Cliffside recommends the armoire hinges to add a unique accent to your cabinet doors.

Classic Suite

The lines of this suite are smooth and contoured as the hardware is defined by the B1-3 and B1-12 pulls. The new B1-8 is an addition to this line. Cliffside also offers the K341 cup pull, as the 110, 158, and 161 series knobs. Two different cupboard latches are available with this and with all other suites as well. Cliffside’s original BH2A or BH2A-NM hinges work well with this series, in steeple or ball finial.

Other suites

Sedona

The Sedona suite, available in three rustic finishes, contains many of the elements of the traditional Cliffside suites. With pulls available in four sizes up to 18″cc as well as a cup pull, Sedona pulls offer a variety of design options in Antique Iron, Antique Silver, and Bronze. Five knobs are also available: small and large round knobs, small and large wave knobs, and an oblong knob. If you are looking for hinges to match a Sedona project, call customer service for more information.

Stainless Steel

While there are no cup pulls available in stainless steel, our T305 and T366 series pulls are available in a variety of sizes from 96mm cc up to 1392mm cc. Two knobs, the T565-30 and the T6312-25, are also available. These pulls also match well with our solid brass hinges in the “SS” (silver satin) finish. For appliances, Cliffside also offers the D85 series pulls, with sizes up to 64″ overall.

Cabinetmaker’s Special: Hinge designs and styles No comments yet

Cliffside offers six distinctly different hinge styles for a variety of different installation applications. The question is, when do you use a specific style of hinge? Today’s blog attempts to address some of those pertinent questions.

What styles of hinges does Cliffside offer?

Cliffside offers six unique hinge styles in a variety of finishes. There are two beaded inset (mortised) hinges: BH2A and BH3NA; there are two flush inset hinges (non-mortise): BH2A-NM and AHI; and there are two offset hinges (3-8-OFFSET and AHO).

What are the specifications of your hinges?

BH2A

BH2A hinge shown in old copper with ball finial

The BH2A hinges have a 2″ leaf and a 2³/₄” overall barrel length for the standard finial hinge. The barrel diameter is ³/₁₆“, while the overall width of the hinge when laid flat is 1⁵/₈“. Each individual leaf measures ³/₄” across, and the leaves are ¹/₁₆” thick. With a ball tip, the overall barrel length is reduced to 2¹/₂“, but otherwise the dimensions are identical. The non-finial hinge also has the same specifications, but with a barrel length of 2¹/₁₆“. 16 finishes are available in the traditional finial style, while 11 are available with a ball finial and 5 with no finial.

BH2A-NM

BH2A-NM hinges also have a 2″ by ³/₄” outer leaf, while the inner leaf is ¹/₂” by ⁷/₈“. The thickness of the leaf is also identical, at ¹/₁₆“, but the barrel diameter of ¹/₄” is slightly larger than its mortised counterpart. This is a three-knuckle hinge, as opposed to the BH2A’s five knuckles. The finial hinge has a barrel length of 2¹³/₁₆“, while the ball-tip version is slightly shorter, at 2⁷/₁₆“, and the non-finial hinge is merely 2¹/₁₆“. The non-mortise finial hinge is available in 14 finishes, with 11 ball-tip and 2 non-finial finishes available.

BH3NA

The BH3NA, or “BH3″, hinges are larger versions of the BH2A hinges in most senses. The leaf width is the same, at ³/₄“, but due to an increased barrel diameter (⁵/₁₆“), the overall width of the hinge is 1³/₄” when laid flat. The leaf of the hinge is 2¹/₂” tall, while the barrel is 3¹/₂” long. The leaf thickness is ¹/₁₆“. BH3NA is available in 13 finishes, only with the standard finial.

AHI

AHI shown in silver satin

The inset armoire hinge, or AHI, is a larger, two-piece hinge design that is crafted for ease of transportation and installation. The top and bottom halves of the hinges are separable; therefore, cabinet doors can be fitted at the shop, then shipped separately to the job site or installation location without a danger of swinging open, banging against other pieces, or falling off. Then, on arrival, the doors can be installed with a minimum of effort. The leaves of this unique hinge are 1″ wide and 1⁵/₁₆” long. The barrel is 5¹⁵/₁₆” in overall length, while the diameter is ⁵/₁₆“. The AHI hinges are also non-mortise, and are available in 9 finishes to suit any style. Because these hinges are “faced”, you must specify left or right when ordering.

AHO

AHO shown in iron

The offset amoire hinge (AHO) is a standard ³/₈” offset partial overlay hinge. It features many of the same design elements as the AHI, in that it is two-piece and available in the same 9 finishes. The barrel diameter on the AHO is ¹/₄“, while the overall length is 6¹/₈“. The lower leaf is 2″ long, while the upper leaf is 2¹/₈” long. Because these hinges are “faced”, you must specify left or right when ordering.

3-8-OFFSET

3-8-OFFSET shown in black

The second ³/₈” standard offset partial overlay hinge in the Cliffside line, 3-8-OFFSET is now available in 8 attractive finishes, four of which were just introduced. The leaves of this hinge are 2″ long, while the barrel is 2¹⁵/₁₆“. The barrel diameter is ¹/₄“, and the hinge has an industry-standard 5-knuckle construction. These hinges are precision-crafted to meet exacting standards.

All hinges

Every Cliffside hinge is extruded solid brass. All hinges have 2-4 adjustable holes to aid in installation, and each style comes in a variety of finishes.

When should I use a certain hinge?

Use smaller hinges for standard doors.

Use smaller-sized hinges for standard-height and standard-width cabinet doors. This includes floor-to-countertop-sized doors and countertop-to-below-celing-sized doors. The hinges recommended for these applications are BH2A, BH2A-NM, and 3-8-OFFSET, which are the three smaller-sized hinges in the Cliffside line. This offers a choice of a mortised inset hinge, a non-mortised inset hinge, and an offset hinge for your cabinet.

Hinges can be cabinet jewelry.

Use larger-sized hinges for oversized doors or extremely wide doors. The larger hinges are stronger because of their size and provide extra durability. We especially recommend larger hinges for doors that are from floor-to-ceiling in height, or doors that are from the floor to above the height of the countertop. The three hinges that Cliffside recommends for these applications are AHI, AHO, and BH3NA, providing you with the same three design choices as are provided for standard-sized doors.

Since the armoire hinges are “faced”, you will need to specify “left” or “right” when ordering. This designation indicates whether the hinge you are ordering is for a left-hand or right-hand door. Therefore, if you are building a cabinet with double doors, you will likely need two right hinges and two left hinges.

Design tip

Certain hinges can also be used as a design accent. This is one of the reasons that Cliffside offers a ball finial, a steeple-tip finial, and non-finial hinges in the BH2A and BH2A-NM. The armoire hinges are a particularly striking accent to any cabinet because they provide a large focal point for the eye, acting like jewelry for the cabinet rather than simply a functional piece.
