The Argenta® Invisible Neo Concealed Hinge
There is a magic and excitement associated with hidden doors. Who hasn’t secretly wanted the James Bond-style room hidden behind a sliding bookcase?
The argenta® invisible neo concealed hinge is the invisible hinge for designers. Winning the prestigious red dot design award for the purity of its aesthetic and high quality function, this concealed hinge is available in three different sizes – S5, M6 and L7.
Thanks to the matching cover plates, not a single screw can be seen. The ‘Easy-hook’ installation system makes these white invisible hinges simple to install even for a single person. Thanks to their unique height adjustment system, you no longer need to place wedges under the door when adjusting the height. The casing of the copper concealed hinge can be pre-installed in the door off-site, in the workshop.
Hidden rooms behind secret doors are a trend growing in popularity. Last year on The Block, that barometer of popular interiors trends, three couples included secret doors in their houses. Both Jimmy and Tam and Daniel and Jade created a secret door from their bedroom wardrobe through to their ensuite, with Daniel and Jade also harnessing the element of surprise when they created hidden access to attic storage space. In keeping with the classic simplicity that Luke and Jasmin were aiming for, they built a hidden door in the side of their stairs to create extra storage, and Jimmy and Tam overcame an awkward layout with a feature timber wall and concealed door to hide a laundry located opposite their front door.
There is a magic and excitement associated with secret doors that no doubt adds to their appeal. Who hasn’t secretly wanted the James Bond-style room hidden behind a sliding bookcase? Or a charming surprise entry to a side room like this beauty, created by top interior designer Sibella Court using argenta Invisible Neo concealed hinges from Two Tease.
I love the story told on the I Like to Make Stuff website about the couple who had their first baby on the way and created a secret playroom for the child to discover one unforgettable day later in their childhood. Can you imagine if they never found it, though?
What is a concealed hinge?
A concealed hinge is designed to be completely invisible when a door is closed, allowing the door to close perfectly in line with the wall. They also have a sleek, flat minimalist appearance when the door is open and are available in different finishes* to blend with their surroundings. Concealed hinges are also known as invisible hinges or SOSS-style hinges and they remove the gap between the door and the surrounds needed with traditional hinges. This is how the secret door effect is achieved.
There are various options available on the market but at Two Tease we have decided to stock and distribute the premium Invisible Neo concealed hinges by argenta because they have the European high quality, strength and reliability customers expect, with a pure, sleek aesthetic.
“We find that our trade customers appreciate the quality as well as the look of the Argenta Invisible Neo and are surprised at how easy they are to install,” said Kevin Tuersley of Two Tease.
