Redefine Your Doors with Clean, Unbroken Lines
Imagine opening a door and seeing… nothing.
No protruding metal knuckles. No messy, exposed adjustment screws. Just clean, seamless architectural perfection where your door meets the frame.
That is the magic behind the Belgian-engineered Arlu® Invisible Neo S-5.
Winner of the prestigious Red Dot Design Award, the Invisible Neo S-5 allows interior doors to sit completely flush against the wall. Whether the door is closed or swung open to a full 180°, matching cover plates hide every single screw and mechanism. The result? An uninterrupted, high-end visual flow in modern residential and commercial spaces.
Installed by One Person. Adjusted in Minutes.
Let’s be honest: aligning traditional heavy concealed hinges can feel like a multi-person nightmare.
Here is where it gets clever…
Thanks to Arlu’s patented Easy-Hook® system, a single installer can hook and set the door directly into the frame—no helpers required and no wedges needed.
Once mounted, fine-tuning takes seconds. You can adjust alignment across three dimensions (height, width, and depth/pressure) using a simple Allen key, all without removing the door.

FAQs
General Questions
A concealed hinge, also known as a hidden or invisible hinge, is a type of hinge designed to be completely hidden when the door is closed. Unlike traditional hinges, concealed hinges enhance the aesthetic appeal by providing a clean and seamless look.
Concealed hinges are widely used in residential, commercial, and public spaces. They are particularly popular in minimalist designs, luxury interiors, and high-traffic areas where aesthetics and functionality are paramount.
Benefits of Concealed Hinges
- Sleek Design: They provide a flush, screw-free appearance, enhancing the overall aesthetic of the door and space.
- Durability: Built to withstand frequent use, they are often cycle-tested for long-term reliability.
- Safety Features: Many concealed hinges offer finger protection by minimizing gaps between the door and the frame.
- Adjustability: Most concealed hinges provide 3D adjustment (height, width, and depth) for precise alignment.
- Wide Opening Angle: They typically allow for larger opening angles, up to 180°, improving accessibility.
Concealed hinges are designed to support significant door weights while maintaining smooth and durable operation. When installed correctly, they can perform as well as or better than traditional hinges, especially for modern applications.
Compatibility and Applications
Yes, concealed hinges are suitable for a wide range of doors, including:
- Lightweight doors: with smaller hinges
- Medium-weight doors
- Heavy doors: with larger, load-bearing hinges</ br>It’s essential to select the correct hinge size and model for the specific door type and weight.
Most concealed hinges are universally compatible, meaning they can be used for both left- and right-opening doors.
Yes, concealed hinges can often be installed on existing doors, provided there is enough material in the door and frame to accommodate the hinge. However, some retrofitting may be required.
Installation and Adjustments
Many concealed hinges are designed for easy installation. Features like pre-aligned templates and innovative mechanisms (e.g., ‘easy hook’ designs) simplify the process. However, precise measurements and careful installation are essential to achieve optimal results.
Common tools include a drill, screws, screwdrivers, and sometimes a router for creating hinge recesses. Some concealed hinges come with installation guides or templates for added convenience.
3D adjustability refers to the ability to adjust the hinge in three dimensions:
- Height: Up or down for proper door positioning.
- Width: Side-to-side for perfect alignment.
- Depth: In or out for flush fitting with the frame.</ br>This feature ensures precise alignment and smooth door operation, even after installation.
Maintenance and Durability
Concealed hinges are highly durable and often tested for long-term use, typically exceeding 200,000 open-close cycles. They are made from robust materials to withstand wear and tear.
Minimal maintenance is required. Occasional cleaning and lubrication may be needed to ensure smooth operation. It’s also a good idea to periodically check alignment and make adjustments if necessary.
Design and Aesthetic
No, concealed hinges are designed to hide screws, even when the door is open. This provides a clean and seamless appearance.
Yes, concealed hinges are perfect for minimalist and modern designs. They keep the focus on the door and room’s architecture by eliminating the visual clutter of traditional hinges.
Troubleshooting
Check the alignment using the hinge’s 3D adjustability features. Adjust the height, width, or depth to ensure proper positioning. If the problem persists, verify the installation measurements.
Replacing concealed hinges is relatively straightforward if you use the same hinge model. For different models, you may need to adjust or expand the hinge recess.
Additional Information
Yes, certain models of concealed hinges are designed specifically for heavy or large doors. Be sure to choose a hinge with the appropriate weight and size rating.
Many concealed hinges are compatible with fire-rated doors, but it’s essential to confirm the hinge’s certification and specifications for fire-rated applications.
While the hinge is mostly concealed, some models offer different finishes for visible components to match the door or frame’s design.
For assistance, contact the retailer or manufacturer where you purchased the hinge. They can provide technical support, replacement parts, or additional resources.
