I bought Berta Full-Overlay Cabinet Hinges as part of my camper van equipment.
The storage build involved fitting moving parts to a fixed frame. These concealed hinges are part of the cabinet hardware I purchased for the van.
Comparing a Recessed Hinge Cup with Exposed Leaves
I built the drawer and cabinet frame as separate timber parts.
I fitted the base and lining before attaching the drawer slides.
My other cabinet-hardware purchases included full-overlay concealed hinges.

My Takeaway from This Job
The photographed drawer moves on slides; the hinges belong to the separate door-hardware selection. Berta and Ravinte use recessed cups and soft-closing mechanisms, while the brass butt hinge changes to exposed leaves and a different mounting layout.
Recessed hinge cups and exposed butt-hinge leaves use different mounting layouts.

Clip-on concealed soft-close hinge
Berta’s full-overlay hinge uses a concealed cup-and-arm arrangement with a removable mounting connection. The exact product reference identifies three adjustment directions, which serve different alignment needs after the door is attached. Vertical adjustment changes the height, horizontal adjustment changes the side-to-side position, and depth adjustment changes the relationship to the cabinet face. For a van cabinet front, these are useful distinctions when planning neighboring doors and consistent gaps. The clip-on connection also separates removing the door from removing its mounting plate. My existing cabinet-hardware purchase record remains unchanged.
The listing identifies vertical, horizontal and depth adjustments for aligning the door relative to the cabinet.

Two Alternatives to Compare
Ravinte offers another full-overlay concealed hinge. The Keenkee butt hinge uses exposed leaves and a different installation layout, changing both the appearance and the preparation of the door.
