If you’re renovating a kitchen or fitting out cabinets in New Zealand, the hardware you choose matters more than most people realise. Cheap hinges and drawer runners fail quickly, stick, squeak, and let doors hang crooked. DTC hardware — one of the world’s leading cabinet hardware manufacturers — is a different story entirely.
Who Is DTC?
DTC (Dongtai Hardware) is a Chinese manufacturer that supplies cabinet hardware to major kitchen brands worldwide. Their Pivot-Pro C80 hinge series is used in high-end cabinetry across Europe, Australia, and increasingly New Zealand. Getting DTC hardware at authorised factory prices used to mean ordering in bulk from China directly — but Kynora Decor now makes it available in NZ without the middleman.
The DTC Pivot-Pro C80 Hinge Range
The C80 series covers almost every cabinet application:
- 110° Full Overlay (C80A676F) — the most common kitchen cabinet hinge, for doors that fully cover the cabinet face.
- 110° Half Overlay (C80B676F) — for shared centre panels between two doors.
- 45° Angled (C80E676F) — for corner cabinets at a 45° angle.
- 90° Angled (C80J676F) — for L-shaped corner solutions.
- 135° Angled (C80H676) — for wide-angle corner cabinets.
- 155° Self-Closing Corner Hinge — for specialty corner applications.
All C80 hinges feature cam-adjustable snap-on mounting, soft-close damping, and a compact 48mm cup. They’re simple to install and even simpler to adjust.
DTC Drawer Runners
Alongside their hinge range, DTC’s 45mm soft-close full extension ball bearing runners are available in lengths from 350mm to 550mm. These are heavy-duty, smooth-gliding runners that handle everyday kitchen use without breaking down.

As a contractor we are required to replace the existing non soft close DTC hinges on a tri view mirrored medicine cabinet
with soft close hinges. We have not been able to find a manufacturer of soft close hinges with matching installation holes ,
as they must perfectly match with the machined holes in the steel backing panel of the mirrors. The only marking we can get off of the existing DTC hinges are “4C6A02” and “HOAZ31B”.
Does this make any sense and can we get soft close hinges to match this whether the are DTC or another brand? We would need 6.
Thanks so much for your help.
Hi Bob, thanks for the detailed question. Those markings (4C6A02 / HOAZ31B) look more like production or batch codes than a model number, so we can’t match the hinge from them alone. We work directly with DTC, though, and we’re happy to check with them for you.
To identify a soft-close option with matching holes, could you email us at business@kynoradecor.co.nz with:
If an exact soft-close match isn’t available, a clip-on soft-close damper fitted to the cabinet frame can sometimes be an alternative that keeps your existing hinges. We’ll let you know what’s possible once we see the photos.
