A hinge for mounting a false front for swinging between closed and open positions on a cabinet. The hinge includes first and second mounting brackets adapted to be secured to the false front and the cabinet, respectively. A first link has one end pivotably and slidably connected to the first bracket and an opposite end pivotably connected to the second bracket. A second link is pivotably connected between its ends to the first link, has one end pivotably connected to the first bracket, and has an opposite end pivotably and slidably connected to the second bracket. The hinge permits the false front and a tray thereon to be opened to an easily accessible position and enables the false front to be located between and closely adjacent to the countertop and the doors of the cabinet.
