In a world where clean lines and silent function define luxury cabinetry, the DTC C82 Series arrives not just as an upgrade, but as a new standard.
Nicknamed the “STYLISH” series by DTC, the C82 line of hinges and mounting plates is a sophisticated leap forward in cabinet hardware innovation. Designed for today’s minimalist aesthetic yet engineered with deep technical foresight. These hinges blend form, function, and finesse in a way that few others can.
The Art of the Close
What truly sets the C82 apart is its revolutionary mini soft-close dampener, discreetly housed in the hinge knuckle. This design innovation allows the hinge arm, cup, and mounting interface to remain clean and obstruction-free, creating a visibly sleeker profile. Unlike traditional piston-based soft-close mechanisms, the C82’s two-stage dampening ensures that even forcefully slammed doors slow into a gentle, silent close.
Elegance in Every Angle
The C82 is available in both soft-close and self-close versions, with a full lineup of standard and specialty angles - Full Overlay, Half Overlay, Inset, 45° corner, 90° blind corner, 135° pie corner, and 170° wide opening. It all connects to a unified mounting plate system, available in both traditional winged or modern inline designs.
Mounting, Reimagined: The C82 ANYWAY Clip-On System
The ANYWAY clip-on system elevates C82 with unmatched flexibility and multidirectional ease of installation. Mount from front to back, back to front, or simply center-press the hinge onto the plate. Whether it's your first door or your fifth hinge on the same cabinet, installers get the same fast, secure connection every time. It's flexible, foolproof, and built for speed on-site.
Built to Last, Certified to Perform
The C82 hinge has passed TÜV’s 80,000-cycle open/close test, significantly outperforming the KCMA's North American 50,000-cycle durability standard. It offers premium performance where it matters most.
C82 isn’t just a spec sheet champion, it’s a real-world workhorse, backed by Marathon’s limited lifetime warranty and trusted DTC engineering.
Smart Adjustments with C82 for a Flawless Finish
CAM depth and height adjustability combined with standard side adjustments (+2mm / -4mm lateral; +2.5mm / -2.5mm depth; +2mm / -2mm height) make the C82 a dream for tight reveals and refined cabinetry lines. For manufacturers and installers, this means less time fiddling with details and more room for design precision.
C82. Slimmer. Smarter. Stronger.
Cabinet hardware, redefined.
