Angled Cabinet Hinge For 45-Degree Bay and Corner Installations

The Grass Nexis is a concealed angled cabinet hinge built for cabinet boxes set at a positive 45-degree angle, covering both frameless construction and face-frame builds, with inset overlay geometry and a self-close spring.

Key Features

• +45-degree cabinet angle fits the outward diagonal corner or bay-style cabinet that standard hinges cannot serve.
• Inset overlay positions the door flush inside the cabinet opening with an even reveal on all sides.
• 95-degree opening delivers the clearance engineered for this angled application.
• Self-close spring pulls the door shut over the last few degrees of travel.
• Dowel mount presses the cup into pre-bored dowel holes for a clean, screw-free door attachment.
• Works on frameless and face-frame cabinets so one SKU covers both construction types.

Built for the 45-Degree Outward Corner

When a cabinet run turns at a diagonal, standard hinges that are sized for a 90-degree box will not sit or swing correctly. This Nexis hinge is engineered to that +45-degree cabinet angle, so the arm geometry lets the door close cleanly against an angled face rather than pulling against it. The inset overlay places the door inside the opening, which is the configuration most diagonal corner and bay-style builds call for where the reveal defines the finished look. The 35mm cup bores into the back of the door and the arm connects to a separate base plate mounted to the cabinet, sold separately. Use Grass plates matched to the Nexis series; plates are not interchangeable across brands.

Steel Construction in a Nickel Finish

The hinge is steel with a nickel finish. Dowel mounting keeps the door-side installation clean: the cup carries pre-attached dowels that press into bored holes without cup screws, a method suited to CNC and production environments where the boring is done at the machine. The self-close spring draws the door to a closed position from a few degrees open, so the door stays shut without a separate catch.

Who Reaches for This Hinge

This hinge belongs in a cabinet shop's toolkit for angled-corner kitchen runs, diagonal display cabinets, and bay-front furniture where the box is set at 45 degrees to the wall or an adjacent cabinet. It suits both frameless production shops and face-frame builders. The 95-degree swing is the correct opening for this geometry: the reduced angle is what prevents the door from swinging into the adjacent cabinet surface, so it is by design, not a constraint. For inset doors on standard 90-degree boxes, an inset hinge without the angle geometry is the right pick instead.

Common Questions

The Right Hinge for the Diagonal Corner

Specify this Nexis hinge when the cabinet calls for an inset door on a 45-degree angled face, and the job needs a self-close concealed hinge that handles both frameless and face-frame construction in one part.
