170-Degree Pie Cut Corner Hinge for Face-Frame Cabinets

This Grass Nexis pie cut corner hinge opens to a full 170 degrees, giving near-flat door clearance on angled and blind-corner face-frame cabinet builds where a standard hinge cannot reach that range of swing.

Key Features

• 170-degree opening swings the door almost completely flat, clearing tight corner and angled-cabinet spaces.
• Pie cut corner geometry is purpose-built for angled cabinet doors found in blind corners and diagonal corner units.
• Self-close spring draws the door shut over the final degrees of travel without a separate closer.
• Screw-on mounting fastens directly to the face-frame stile with no separate base plate required.
• Three-way adjustment provides plus or minus 2mm of height, side, and depth correction after the door is hung.
• Nickel finish on a steel body built for the concealed installation this hinge produces.

Designed for the Corner Cabinet Door That Needs Room to Move

Pie cut corner cabinets sit at an angle inside a corner run, and their doors need a hinge geometry matched to that angle. A standard overlay hinge would bind or leave the door unable to clear the adjacent cabinet frame. This Nexis hinge is built specifically for that diagonal application, with a cup that bores into the angled door at 35mm and an arm engineered to carry the door through 170 degrees of swing. At that opening, the door lies almost parallel to the cabinet side, which is the clearance a corner unit needs for full interior access. The 42mm boring pattern is specific to the Grass Nexis platform, so confirm your door boring matches before ordering as a replacement.

Steel Body, Nickel Finish, Screw-On Simplicity

The hinge is steel finished in nickel. The screw-on arm attaches directly to the face-frame stile, so this is a self-contained install without a separate mounting plate to source or stock. That direct connection also makes the joint rigid, which matters on a corner door that travels through a wide arc on every open and close. The self-close spring is part of the hinge, pulling the door home once it reaches the last few degrees, and three-way adjustment gives a 2mm correction window for height, side, and depth after the door is set.

Where This Hinge Belongs

This is the hinge for face-frame shops and contractors working diagonal corner cabinet runs: pie cut units, angled appliance garages, and blind corners where wide clearance is essential. At 170 degrees, the swing is as open as this application gets, and the screw-on face-frame mount means no frameless plate stock to manage. Note that 170-degree hinges do not carry integrated soft-close damping. The self-close spring closes the door, but the wide-angle geometry does not accommodate a built-in damper at this opening. For a damped, cushioned close on a corner door, select a narrower-angle version with soft-close.

Full Clearance on Every Corner Door

Specify this hinge when the corner unit needs maximum swing, a clean face-frame mount, and a self-close spring that keeps the door shut between uses.
