Screw-On Concealed Hinge For Secure Full Overlay Doors

The Grass Nexis screw-on concealed hinge hangs full overlay doors with a self-close spring on frameless and face-frame cabinets, fastening the base plate to the cabinet through direct wood screws rather than a clip or tool-free system.

Key Features

• Screw-on mounting anchors the base plate firmly to the cabinet side or stile with wood screws, no system holes required.
• Full overlay straight arm positions the door to cover nearly the entire cabinet side, leaving only a narrow reveal.
• Self-close spring draws the door shut automatically over the last few degrees of travel.
• 110 degree opening delivers standard everyday access to cabinet interiors.
• Works on both frameless and face-frame cabinets, making it a versatile choice across mixed project types.
• Nickel-finished steel holds up to regular use and coordinates with other nickel hardware on the job.

Where Screw-On Mounting Earns Its Place

Not every cabinet arrives with pre-drilled 5mm system holes, and not every shop wants to depend on them. This Nexis hinge uses a direct screw-on connection, so the base plate fastens wherever you drive it, whether that is into the side panel of a frameless box or the stile of a face-frame cabinet. That makes it a practical fit for site work, retrofits, and custom cases that fall outside the production-line 32mm grid. The 35mm cup bores into the back of the door, the straight arm clips to the base plate on the cabinet, and the full overlay geometry puts the door face forward over the cabinet side. The base plate is a separate purchase, matched to the Grass Nexis series.

Steel, Nickel Finish, and a Spring That Works

The hinge body is steel finished in nickel, a combination that handles the daily wear of a working kitchen or shop without surface deterioration. The self-close mechanism is a spring, not a damper: it pulls the door firmly shut once released within the last several degrees of closing. That spring action is reliable and straightforward, and it is the right call for projects where a consistent close matters but a cushioned landing is not the priority. For jobs that call for a damped, quiet close, the soft-close version of this series is the better fit.

Who Reaches for This Hinge

Cabinet installers working on renovation sites, where existing cases may not have system holes, get a direct-mount option that needs nothing more than a drill and screws. Custom cabinet shops building one-off pieces or furniture-grade work appreciate that screw-on mounting gives a positively anchored connection without relying on pressed-in hardware. The dual compatibility with face-frame and frameless boxes also means a contractor who runs both construction types on the same job does not need two hinge families in the bag. Standard doors in the 16 to 22mm thickness range are the target here. For doors thicker than 22mm, a thick-door hinge is the correct choice.
