Specialized hardware parts called cabinet hinges are used to attach cabinet doors to the cabinet frame so that the doors may swing open and closed. Depending on the style of door and cabinet design, these hinges can be overlay, inset, or concealed. Each type of hinge has a distinct function. They are essential to the operation of cabinets because they give the doors stability, support, and smooth movement while making sure the doors line up correctly with the cabinet frame.
Depending on the type of hinge and installation technique, cabinet hinges can either be visible or hidden, which enhances the cabinet's visual appeal. To suit a range of cabinet designs and user preferences, they come in a variety of materials, finishes, and combinations.
The market for cabinet hinges has grown significantly in recent years due to a number of factors, including as an increase in building projects, a rise in interest in home remodeling projects, and a growing demand for upscale and sophisticated furniture. The primary driver of this expansion is the increasing demand for furniture and cabinets in the household and commercial domains. Cabinet hinges are becoming increasingly important because to the rise in modular furniture styles and the increase in need for organizing solutions. Furthermore driving the market's expansion are technical advancements like the creation of soft closing and hidden hinges.

The official mark that the Bureau of Indian Standards provides for manufacturers of various goods is the ISI Mark. It is used to indicate compliance with Indian standards (IS) set by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and has been used as a conformity marking for industrial products.
