Nexis Cam Adjustable Wing Mounting Plate for Wood Screw, 2-Point Fixing, Screw-On, 4mm
Description
Nexis Cam Mounting Plate For Face Frames
Nexis cam adjustable wing mounting plate is a hinge mounting plate from Grass America that works as a face frame adapter plate, so it connects Nexis hinges to face frame cabinetry in a stable, repeatable way for cabinet construction or retrofit work. This hinge base plate is designed for wood screw installation with 2-point fixing, so it anchors solidly to the cabinet side and supports consistent door alignment over time. The plate has a 4mm height, so it sets the basic overlay relationship while still leaving room for fine tuning through the integrated cams. A clip on design at the hinge interface lets the hinge affix directly to the plate, so mounting and removal of the hinge can be done without disturbing the plate position. As a hinge mounting plate in the Nexis line, it creates a defined reference point between cabinet side and door, which supports cleaner reveals and more efficient adjustments during cabinet installation.
Key Nexis Plate Details For Daily Work
- Nexis face frame adapter plates are made of die-cast steel, which gives the hinge base a rigid structure that resists deformation during fastening, hinge clipping, and repeated door operation in cabinet use.
- The plate affixes to the hinge via a clip on design, so the hinge can be attached or removed without loosening the plate, helping retain the original mounting position and speeding hinge swaps or cabinet door adjustments.
- Two cams on the plate provide plus or minus 2 mm of cam height adjustment, allowing the installer to raise or lower the door position slightly after mounting to fine tune door reveal lines on the cabinet face frame.
- The same cam system provides plus 3/minus 1 mm of cam depth adjustment, which shifts the door in or out relative to the cabinet, supporting clean door-to-box alignment without remounting the plate.
- The plate attaches to the cabinet side via #6 x 5/8 inch flat head screws, giving a familiar wood screw interface that seats flush in the countersunk holes for a secure, clean-looking installation in wood cabinet sides.
Mounting And 3D Cam Adjustment In Practice
This Nexis face frame adapter plate uses 2-point fixing, so two wood screw anchor points secure it to the cabinet side and establish a stable base for the hinge arm. The 4mm plate height establishes the primary door position relative to the face frame, then the integrated cams handle final tuning without moving the screws. Plus or minus 2 mm of cam height adjustment lets the installer nudge the door up or down to correct small misalignments after the hinge is clipped on. The plus 3/minus 1 mm cam depth range then shifts the door closer to or further from the cabinet, which helps balance gaps, reduce door rubbing, and refine overlay using only a screwdriver.
Using This Nexis Plate On Face Frame Jobs
Where This Nexis Face Frame Adapter Plate Fits
Nexis face frame adapter plates are part of the Grass America hinge mounting plates family, so they serve as the link between Nexis hinges and the cabinet face frame structure. The die-cast steel construction withstands screw torque and the forces from repeated door cycling, which is valuable on frequently used cabinet runs. With 2-point fixing to the cabinet side via #6 x 5/8 inch flat head screws, the plate suits wood cabinet sides where a screw-on mounting style is preferred over system screws or dowels. The 4mm plate height positions the hinge arm at a defined level off the face frame, helping drive consistent overlay from cabinet to cabinet when the same drilling pattern and hinge configuration are used across a project.
Why The 3D Cam Adjustments Support Clean Results
The Nexis 4mm 3D cam FF plate combines height and depth adjustment in the base plate, so final door positioning can be handled directly at the mounting interface rather than by relocating screws. The pair of cams that provide plus or minus 2 mm of height adjustment allow fine tuning of door reveal at the top and bottom edges, which is especially useful on multi-door runs where small accumulated tolerances show as stepped gaps. The plus 3/minus 1 mm cam depth adjustment shifts the door closer to or further from the cabinet box, helping bring doors into plane with neighboring fronts and align them with adjacent cabinets. Because the hinge affixes via a clip on design, the hinge can be detached during layout or finishing work and then reattached to the same plate position, supporting consistent results when multiple trades interact with the same cabinetry.
Common Questions About This Nexis Mounting Plate
What type of product is the Nexis 4mm 3D cam FF plate?
The Nexis 4mm 3D cam FF plate is a hinge mounting plate from Grass America that acts as a face frame adapter plate for Nexis hinges, creating the connection between the cabinet side and hinge.
How does the clip on hinge connection help during installation?
The Nexis cam adjustable wing mounting plate uses a clip on design, so the hinge clips to the plate, allowing hinge removal or attachment without disturbing the mounted plate position on the cabinet.
What adjustment range does the 3D cam system provide?
The Nexis face frame adapter plate offers plus or minus 2 mm of cam height adjustment and plus 3/minus 1 mm of cam depth adjustment, which supports fine tuning door position after the plate is fixed.
How is this hinge mounting plate fixed to the cabinet?
