What the AI looks for in Concealed Hinges

Cup size and boring: Most European concealed hinges use a 35 mm cup with a 3 to 6 mm boring distance from the door edge The cup bore and edge distance determine whether a replacement fits existing holes and how much overlay you get.
Overlay or inset arm: Choose full overlay, half overlay or inset arm to match how the door sits on the cabinet box The arm crank sets the door position; the wrong one leaves gaps or makes doors collide.
Face frame vs frameless: Use a face-frame mounting plate on framed cabinets and a standard plate on frameless boxes The plate, not the hinge body, is what attaches to the cabinet, and the two styles are not interchangeable.
Opening angle: Around 110 degrees for standard doors; 155 to 170 degrees where pull-out drawers or full access are needed Narrow-opening hinges block internal pull-outs and trays.
Soft close: Integrated soft close in the hinge, or an add-on damper, rather than nothing on heavy doors Integrated dampers are more consistent than separate bumpers.
Same system per door: Keep hinge and mounting plate from the same brand and system Clip-on interfaces are proprietary and do not cross brands reliably.

Blum: Clip top hinges with Blumotion soft close are the common default.
Salice: Italian concealed hinges with wide-angle and specialty options.
Grass: Tiomos and other concealed hinge systems.
Hettich: Sensys concealed hinges with integrated damping.
SOSS: Invisible barrel-style hinges for flush doors and panels, a different system from cup hinges.

The cup will fit, but you also need the same overlay and a compatible mounting plate, or the door position will change.
