Description
Grass Nexis 170 Degree Hinge For Wide Access
Grass Nexis 170 degree hinge gives a concealed long arm hinge with a wide 170 degree opening, so cabinet doors can swing out of the way for easier access in tight runs or corner layouts. This Grass America hinge is a concealed cabinet hinge, so the hardware stays out of sight when the door is closed, supporting clean cabinet fronts on both face-frame and frameless work. The hinge is a Nexis self-close full overlay design for face-frame and frameless cabinets, so it pulls the door shut at the end of travel while covering the cabinet edge for a finished look. As a full overlay hinge, it positions the door to overlap the cabinet side, which helps align reveals across a bank of doors. The hinge is from the European standard hinges family, so it fits common European style cabinet construction methods.
Key Nexis Hinge Details That Support Your Build
- The 170 degree opening gives a wide swing angle that helps in corner or lazy susan applications where doors must clear adjacent fronts to avoid interference and binding.
- Zero protrusion when opened at 90 degrees keeps the door edge out of the cabinet interior, which helps with roll-out trays or interior hardware that needs an unobstructed opening.
- Common use in corner or lazy susan applications ties this hinge to real world cabinet layouts where extra swing is required for pie cut doors and angled fronts.
- Use with a restrictive clip for lipped doors and mitered corners allows the same hinge platform to handle special door designs while controlling the opening angle at the cabinet.
- Doweled cup fastening gives a press-in style mounting in the door, which speeds repetitive installation and provides consistent cup positioning across multiple doors.
Installation And Adjustment Details For Nexis Hinge
The Nexis hinge offers a 3-dimensional adjustment that lets you fine-tune side, depth, and height, so doors can be aligned accurately after mounting without re-boring or moving plates. A single screw side-to-side adjustment of plus 1 mm to minus 3 mm gives lateral correction at the hinge, helping close up gaps or relieve binding on adjacent doors. The cup depth of 11 mm defines how deep the bore hole must be in the door, which guides drilling setup and confirms suitability for standard cabinet door thicknesses that accept an 11 mm cup. A hinge cup edge drilling distance range of 3 mm to 10 mm gives flexibility in where the 35 mm cup is placed relative to the door edge, helping match different overlay and reveal preferences. Boring patterns of 42 mm and 45 mm give two standard screw or dowel spread options, so door boring equipment can be set to common European patterns already used in the shop.
Using This Grass Nexis Hinge In Cabinet Projects
Where The Nexis Self-Close Full Overlay Hinge Fits
This Nexis self-close full overlay hinge is designed for both face-frame and frameless cabinets, so it works across typical residential and commercial cabinet box styles. As a concealed cabinet hinge in nickel finish, it sits inside the cabinet with only the arm and cup interacting with the door and side, helping preserve exterior aesthetics while giving a neutral metal tone inside. The hinge is commonly used in corner or lazy susan applications along with a pie cut hinge, so it plays a central role where two doors meet at an angle and require additional sweep. Zero protrusion at 90 degrees matters when interior roll-outs or rotating trays pass the opening, because the hinge and door will not project into the path at that partial open position. The Grass Nexis 170 degree hinge sits within the European concealed long arm hinges category, which aligns it with systems many installers already use on line-bored cabinets and modular casework.
Why Nexis 170 Degree Details Help Alignment And Workflow
The 3-dimensional adjustment capability on this Nexis hinge allows depth, height, and side fine-tuning after the doors are hung, which shortens fitting time and reduces re-drilling when reveals need to be tightened. Single screw side-to-side adjustment from plus 1 mm to minus 3 mm centralizes lateral corrections at one fastener, so installers can shift the door edge in small increments to achieve even gaps between doors or between door and cabinet. The 11 mm cup depth works with standard 35 mm hinge boring equipment, so drilling setups remain consistent across different Grass Nexis hinges used on the same job. The 3 mm to 10 mm cup edge drilling distance range offers flexibility in overlay layout, letting the same hinge respond to design changes in reveal or to different door thickness practices across projects. Boring patterns of 42 mm and 45 mm mean existing boring heads or line-boring machines set to those centers can run this hinge without special jigs, keeping production flow steady. The doweled cup fastening style provides repeatable locating in the door bore, which helps maintain consistent overlay from door to door in a run of cabinets. When paired with a restrictive clip for lipped doors and mitered corners, the Nexis 170 degree hinge can serve both standard and special door profiles, simplifying hinge selection across a job while still controlling swing for tight corner conditions.
