A cabinet for displaying objects, consists of a plurality of sides, of which one side is in the form of a door and bears in the closed state on the end surfaces of the two adjoining sides, wherein its outer edges are aligned with the outsides of these sides. The cabinet comprises two hinges arranged one above the other, each consisting of a door hinge part fixed to the door and a housing hinge part, which are rotatably connected together by a pin. Each housing hinge part is fitted on the end of a rod which is movable axially and perpendicular to the closing plane of the door in a bearing body fixed on a lower sheet metal frame located in the lower part of the cabinet or a bearing body fixed on an upper sheet metal frame located in the upper part. In the region of the lower part of the cabinet a gas pressure spring is fitted horizontally in the region of the lower part of the cabinet between the lower sheet metal frame and the door. On opening the door the two rods are firstly pulled out of the bearing bodies by means of a link, so that the outer edge of the door comes free for the following pivotal movement. The gas pressure spring prevents the rod from being pushed back into bearing body on account of the weight of the door when the door is opened.
