Nickel Pie Cut Corner Hinge for Wide-Open Face-Frame Corners

The Grass Nexis pie cut corner hinge mounts to face-frame cabinets at angled corner positions and opens to 170 degrees, giving near-flat clearance where standard-angle hinges fall short. Dowel mounting drops the cup into pre-bored holes without cup screws for a clean, production-ready install.

Key Features

• 170 degree opening swings the door to near-flat, maximizing access at a corner or angled cabinet position.
• Pie cut corner geometry fits the angled cabinet openings found in corner runs and diagonal face-frame boxes.
• Self-close spring pulls the door shut automatically over the last few degrees of travel.
• Dowel mounting presses the cup into pre-bored dowel holes for fast, screw-free door-side installation.
• Three-way adjustment gives plus or minus 2mm on height, depth, and side for door alignment after install.
• Nickel finish on steel construction for a clean look that coordinates with standard hardware.

Built for the Corner Position

Pie cut corner hinges solve the geometry problem that a standard concealed hinge cannot: the angled door of a corner cabinet, where the opening sits at a diagonal rather than flush to a square face. This hinge is designed for exactly that cabinet type, fitted to face-frame construction where the stile sits in front of the box. The 170 degree swing is what makes the corner position workable, pulling the door back far enough that it clears the adjacent cabinet and gives full access to the interior. The 35mm cup bores into the door, and the arm mounts to a separate base plate on the cabinet, sold separately and matched to the Grass Nexis series. Because the Nexis uses a 42mm bore pattern rather than the 45mm common on other brands, confirm the plate and cup spacing before ordering for a replacement or retrofit job.

Steel, Nickel Finish, and a Production-Friendly Install

The hinge body is steel in a Nickel finish, the same neutral tone used across most standard hardware programs. Dowel mounting sets the cup in place via pre-bored dowel holes rather than cup screws, which removes a step on CNC-driven production lines where dowel boring is already in the workflow. The three-way adjustment handles the tolerance stack that comes with angled corner cabinets: after the door is hung, the cams bring it into a consistent reveal without tools.

Who Reaches for This Hinge

Cabinet shops running corner units in face-frame kitchens are the primary user. The 170 degree opening is the right specification when the design calls for maximum clearance at a diagonal position, and the self-close spring keeps the door from standing open on its own. This hinge is for face-frame cabinets only. For a frameless corner box, use the frameless plate version of the Nexis pie cut line instead. A mounting plate is required and sold separately; use a Grass Nexis plate matched to your cabinet construction, since Grass plates are not interchangeable with other brands.
