45-Degree Cabinet Angle and Inset Fit

This Grass Nexis hinge is built for cabinet cases set at a positive 45-degree angle, hanging inset doors on angled, bay, or diagonal-corner cabinets on both face-frame and frameless construction.

Key Features

• +45-degree cabinet geometry matches an outward angled case exactly, so the door aligns without shimming or forcing.
• Inset overlay seats the door flush inside the cabinet opening with an even reveal on all sides.
• Self-close spring pulls the door shut over the final degrees of travel.
• 95-degree opening angle is the engineered swing for an angled-cabinet door to clear the case without binding.
• Screw-on mounting fastens directly to the cabinet with wood screws for a solid, stable hold.
• Works on face-frame and frameless cabinets, pairing with a separately ordered Grass base plate matched to your construction type.

Built for the Angled Case

Diagonal and bay cabinet runs call for a hinge that matches the cabinet's own geometry. This Nexis hinge carries a positive 45-degree cabinet angle built into the arm, so when the case is set at 45 degrees outward, the door hangs square to the opening rather than fighting the angle. The inset geometry places the door flush inside the opening, framed by a consistent gap on every edge. The 35mm cup bores into the back of the door in the standard way, and the hinge arm connects to a Grass base plate on the cabinet, which is sold separately. That plate must come from the Grass Nexis range; plates from other brands will not connect to this arm.

Steel Construction and Screw-On Strength

The hinge is steel with a Nickel finish. Screw-on mounting anchors it directly to the cabinet side or face-frame stile with wood screws, a connection that suits the added mechanical demands of an angled case where the door hangs at an oblique relative to the cabinet box. The 95-degree opening is correct engineering for this application: an angled door needs a reduced swing to clear the cabinet front cleanly, and that restricted arc is what prevents collision, not a shortcoming to work around.

Where This Hinge Belongs

Reach for this hinge on angled kitchen runs, diagonal corner base or wall cabinets, and bay-window cabinet configurations where the case sits at a 45-degree outward angle. It suits both frameless production shops and face-frame builders. Because the door is inset, the install demands tighter tolerances than an overlay door, which makes it a natural fit for furniture-grade casework and higher-end residential cabinetry where a flush face is part of the design intent. For a door that overlays the cabinet side rather than sitting inside it, an overlay-geometry Nexis hinge is the correct pick instead.

Common Questions

The Right Geometry for a Clean Diagonal

When the cabinet angle is 45 degrees outward and the door needs to sit flush inside it, this Nexis hinge provides the exact geometry to make that work on either construction type.
