Nickel Concealed Hinge for Full Overlay Face-Frame and Frameless Doors

The Grass Nexis Impresso is a self-close concealed hinge built for full overlay doors on both face-frame and frameless cabinets, with toolless arm engagement and a nickel finish on steel construction.

Key Features

• Self-close spring draws the door shut automatically over the last few degrees of travel.
• Full overlay straight arm positions the door so it covers nearly the entire cabinet side, leaving a narrow reveal.
• Toolless snap-on mounting lets the arm engage the base plate without a screwdriver, keeping installation fast.
• 110 degree opening angle provides standard everyday access to cabinet contents.
• 42/45mm dual bore pattern accommodates the Grass boring layout used in production and custom shops alike.
• Steel construction in a nickel finish suits high-cycle residential and light commercial use.

Full Overlay Doors on Either Cabinet Type

This hinge is designed for the most common cabinet-door position: full overlay, where the door face covers nearly the full cabinet side and only a narrow reveal is visible between adjacent doors. That geometry works equally well on a frameless box and on a face-frame cabinet, so it suits a mixed shop running both construction styles. The 35mm cup bores into the back of the door, and the arm connects to a Grass base plate mounted to the cabinet side or frame stile. The base plate is a separate purchase and is specific to the Grass Nexis system, so pair it with a matching Grass plate rather than a plate from another brand or series. Grass hinges in this line commonly use a 42mm or dual 42/45mm boring pattern rather than the 45mm-only pattern found on some other brands, so confirm your boring setup before ordering for a replacement job.

Steel Build and a Nickel Finish

The hinge body is steel plated in a nickel finish. Nickel reads as a neutral, slightly warm tone that coordinates with brushed metal pulls, stainless appliances, and light-finish hardware across both contemporary and transitional kitchens. The self-close spring is integrated into the hinge arm, so there are no separate inserts or add-on dampers to source. Because this is a self-close rather than a soft-close hinge, the spring pulls the door shut from a few degrees open but does not cushion the final contact. If the project calls for a damped, quiet close, the soft-close version of this series is the appropriate upgrade.

A Reliable Hinge for Production and Custom Work

The Nexis Impresso fits shops and contractors who want a proven concealed hinge at a production-friendly price point. The toolless snap-on arm engagement speeds up door-hanging when a run of cabinets is on the bench, and the three-way adjustment built into the plate keeps doors square as cabinets settle in the field. It covers standard doors in the 16 to 22mm range. For doors thicker than 22mm, a thick-door hinge is the right call. Use the Grass load table to confirm hinge count for tall or heavy doors rather than relying on a fixed rule of thumb.
