Nexis Adjustable Wing Mounting Plate, 3-Point Fixing, Nickel-Plated, Screw-On, 2mm
Description
Nexis Adjustable Wing Plate For Clip-On Hinges
Nexis adjustable wing mounting plate gives hinge installations a dedicated base plate designed to work with a clip-on hinge connection, so the hinge can be attached and detached from the cabinet side without disturbing the mounting plate once it is set.
This hinge mounting plate is part of the Grass Nexis base plate line, so it is built as a true hinge mounting component for cabinet construction and hinge layout work where Nexis hardware is being used.
The base plate is constructed of high grade die-cast steel, which provides a rigid platform for the hinge arm so door alignment stays tied to a solid metal support on the cabinet side.
A nickel-plated finish on the base plate protects the die-cast steel and creates a smooth metal surface under the hinge arm, which helps the hinge operate against a consistent, clean contact surface during door movement.
The plate provides plus or minus 2 mm of height adjustment, which lets the installer fine-tune the hinge position on the cabinet side so the door reveal can be dialed in after mounting.
Key Nexis Mounting Plate Details That Matter
- The three point cabinet side fixing style spreads the mounting forces across three locations, giving the base plate a stable footprint when fastened to the cabinet.
- The open hole design accommodates wood screws, so common wood screw mounting methods can be used when securing the plate to the cabinet side.
- The plate is designed to attach to the cabinet with #6 x 5/8 inch flat head screws, which sets a defined screw size and length for consistent mounting depth in typical cabinet materials.
- Plus or minus 2 mm of height adjustment in the plate allows post-installation shifting of the hinge position, which supports clean reveals and aligns doors along a run of cabinets.
- The plate is described as 2 mm, which indicates the plate height reference used in Nexis hinge planning so the installer can match hinge geometry across the door layout.
Mounting And Adjustment For Cabinet Work
This Nexis adjustable wing mounting plate uses a screw-on installation method on the cabinet side, so the installer places the plate, drives #6 x 5/8 inch flat head screws through the open holes, and locks the plate position to the cabinet side for hinge attachment.
The three point fixing style means three screw points hold the plate down, which helps resist rotation or shifting on the cabinet wall when the hinge is cycled or when a door is handled regularly.
The plus or minus 2 mm height adjustment built into the base plate lets the installer alter the vertical relationship between the hinge arm and cabinet after the screws are in place, so small reveal changes can be made without remounting the plate.
The clip-on design on the hinge side means the hinge arm connects to this plate by clipping on, so once the mounting plate is fixed and adjusted, the hinge can be added or removed while the base plate setting stays intact.
Using The Nexis Base Plate In Hinge Layouts
Where This Nexis Hinge Base Plate Fits
This Nexis adjustable wing mounting plate is a hinge mounting plate used on the cabinet side in hinge layouts where Grass Nexis base plates are specified, so it serves as the interface between the cabinet construction and the hinge arm.
The wing mounting plate format provides extended mounting ears on the cabinet side, which positions the screw points away from the hinge center and distributes load over a wider area of the cabinet material.
The three-point cabinet side fixing style uses three screw positions in that wing format, allowing the installer to place the plate on the cabinet side and anchor it so the hinge loads are shared across multiple fasteners during normal door operation.
The open hole pattern that accommodates wood screws means the installer can use wood screw techniques with #6 x 5/8 inch flat head screws through the plate directly into the cabinet side, which is a common approach in cabinet shops working with wood-based materials.
This base plate is part of the Grass America Nexis hinge mounting plate family, so in Nexis-based cabinet projects it fills the role of the cabinet-side hinge foundation that accepts the matching clip-on hinge arm.
The base plate is constructed of high grade die-cast steel, giving the hinge arm a firm, non-flexing metal support at the cabinet side, which keeps the hinge pivot tied to a stable structure during repeated opening and closing.
How Nexis Adjustment Supports Consistent Results
The Nexis base plate offers plus or minus 2 mm of height adjustment, which directly affects how the hinge arm sits relative to the cabinet, allowing the installer to raise or lower the door margin without shifting screw locations in the cabinet.
The 2 mm designation of the mounting plate provides a known plate height reference within the Nexis system, so when planning multiple doors the installer can repeat the same hinge and plate combination and expect matching geometry from cabinet to cabinet.
The screw-on, three point fixing approach allows the plate to be set once and then fine-tuned using the built-in adjustment, reducing the need to relocate screw holes when aligning several doors along a bank of cabinets.
The nickel-plated finish on the high grade die-cast steel base plate also supports repeatable hinge action by maintaining a smooth, corrosion-resistant surface where the hinge arm engages, which helps keep adjustments meaningful over time.
The clip-on connection between the Nexis hinge arm and this mounting plate lets the installer detach the door at the hinge for access or work while the adjusted plate remains in place, so the fine-tuned alignment is preserved when the door is reattached.
Because this hinge mounting plate attaches with #6 x 5/8 inch flat head screws through open holes, the installer can position the plate consistently along layout marks and rely on the integrated adjustment range instead of cutting new fastener positions for minor reveal changes.
Common Nexis Adjustable Wing Plate Questions
What type of hinge does this Nexis plate work with?
This Nexis adjustable wing mounting plate is designed for a clip-on hinge connection, so a compatible clip-on hinge arm attaches to the plate during cabinet hinge installations.
How does the three point fixing style help in use?
The three point cabinet side fixing style spreads load across three screws, which helps keep the plate steady on the cabinet when doors are opened and closed.
What screws are used with this Nexis mounting plate?
The Nexis adjustable wing mounting plate is designed to attach to the cabinet side with #6 x 5/8 inch flat head screws placed through the open mounting holes.
How much height adjustment does the Nexis plate provide?
The Nexis adjustable wing mounting plate provides plus or minus 2 mm of height adjustment, allowing vertical fine-tuning of door position relative to the cabinet.
What does the 2 mm designation on this plate indicate?
The 2 mm designation identifies the mounting plate height reference in the Nexis system, which helps keep hinge geometry consistent across multiple cabinet doors.
What is the material and finish of this base plate?
The Nexis adjustable wing mounting plate is constructed of high grade die-cast steel with a nickel-plated finish, providing a solid and protected hinge mounting surface.
Selecting This Nexis Plate For Cabinet Projects
This Nexis adjustable wing mounting plate, part of the Grass Nexis base plate line, offers a high grade die-cast steel body, nickel-plated finish, three point fixing, and plus or minus 2 mm of height adjustment, giving cabinet builders a defined hinge mounting platform.
