Exposed Hinge

An exposed hinge, unlike a concealed hinge or a semi-concealed hinge, is completely visible from the outside when the doors of cabinets are closed. Although concealed hinges are often preferred for aesthetic reasons, some exposed hinges make a strong style statement and can be incorporated into a kitchen design. Exposed hinges made of oil rubbed bronze can add an industrial feel or ones made of wrought iron can even make the hinges a striking design feature.
