Wide-Angle Concealed Hinge for Full Overlay Doors

The Grass Nexis hinge opens to 170 degrees and hangs full overlay doors on both face-frame and frameless cabinets, with a screw-on mount and self-close spring built in.

Key Features

• 170 degree opening swings the door nearly flat, clearing the cabinet side for unobstructed access to the full interior.
• Full overlay straight arm positions the door to cover nearly the entire cabinet side, leaving a narrow reveal.
• Self-close spring draws the door shut over the last few degrees of travel.
• Screw-on mounting fastens directly to the cabinet on face-frame and frameless boxes.
• 35mm cup, 42mm bore pattern matches the Grass Nexis system.
• Steel construction in a Nickel finish for a clean look on visible or semi-visible hardware.

Where the 170 Degree Opening Earns Its Place

Most concealed hinges open to 110 degrees, which covers everyday kitchens and bath cabinetry. The 170 degree Nexis is the choice when clearance matters more than angle control: display cabinets where the door needs to fold back out of the way, appliance garages where someone is reaching past the door, accessible designs where a near-flat swing removes the door as an obstacle, and furniture pieces where doors folding flush gives the piece a clean profile. On a bank of cabinets in a tight corridor or an island with limited swing room, the wider arc lets the door clear without blocking the opening. The 35mm cup bores into the back of the door, and the arm mounts to a Grass base plate on the cabinet, ordered separately.

One important note on this configuration: at 170 degrees, soft-close damping is not offered. This is a self-close hinge, meaning the spring pulls the door shut once released. If a cushioned, quiet close is the priority, the wide-angle configuration is not the right fit. For damped closing with wide access, the 155 degree Nexis soft-close is the closest match in this series.

Nexis Build and Nickel Finish

The Nexis is Grass's value-line concealed system, built from steel with a Nickel finish. It delivers reliable self-close performance without the premium of Grass's Tiomos platform, which makes it a practical choice when the job calls for a wide-opening hinge at a working price. The 42mm boring pattern is specific to the Grass system, so confirm your boring setup matches before ordering replacements or adding to an existing run.

The Right Job for This Hinge

This hinge suits cabinet shops and installers working on display cases, furniture, or accessible cabinetry where the door needs to open as wide as possible. It fits both frameless boxes and face-frame cabinets, so it is practical on mixed-construction projects. Homeowners replacing a hinge on an existing Grass Nexis installation will want to confirm the 42mm bore matches their door before ordering. For standard kitchen and bath cabinets where 110 degrees is sufficient and a soft-close close is wanted, a standard-angle Nexis or Tiomos hinge is the better fit.

Common Questions

Near-Flat Access When the Door Needs to Stay Out of the Way

Specify this hinge when the application demands the widest possible opening, the door needs to fold back flush, and a self-close spring is the right closing motion for the job.
