Nickel Concealed Hinge for Face-Frame and Frameless Overlay Doors

The Grass Tiomos is a concealed overlay hinge in a nickel finish, built for both face-frame and frameless cabinets. Dowel mounting presses the hinge directly into the door's bored holes, and integrated soft-close brings the door to a quiet, controlled close every time.

Key Features

• Integrated soft-close damps the door over the final closing arc, preventing slamming without a separate add-on.
• Dowel mount presses into pre-bored dowel holes in the door, no cup screws needed.
• 110 degree opening delivers the standard swing for comfortable everyday cabinet access.
• Overlay straight arm positions the door to cover the cabinet side with a narrow reveal.
• Three-way adjustment moves the door up to 3mm in height, side, and depth to dial in the reveal after install.
• Fits standard doors up to 24mm thick, covering a wider range than the typical 22mm ceiling on standard hinges.

Where This Hinge Belongs

This hinge is the right pick for overlay doors on either frameless box construction or face-frame cabinets. The straight arm sets the door at a full overlay position, covering nearly the entire cabinet side and leaving a narrow reveal between doors. The 35mm cup bores into the back of the door, and the dowel mount eliminates the cup screws entirely: the pre-attached dowels press straight into the bored holes in one motion. That method is especially efficient in production environments where CNC bores every door to the same pattern before hinges are ever touched.

A separate Grass base plate mounts to the cabinet side or face-frame stile, and the hinge snaps onto it. The plate is sold separately and must be a Grass plate matched to your cabinet construction. Plates from other brands will not connect to this hinge.

Steel Build, Nickel Finish

The hinge body is steel with a nickel finish, suited to the hardware palette of kitchens and baths where brushed or satin metal tones are the design standard. The 35mm cup seats 12.6mm deep in the door, keeping the body flush and out of sight when the door is closed. Maximum door thickness reaches 24mm, which extends usable range into slightly thicker slab doors without stepping up to a dedicated thick-door hinge. The soft-close damper is built in, so no separate adapter clips onto the arm after the fact.

Who Reaches for This Hinge

Cabinet shops running CNC production lines will get the most out of the dowel mount: boards arrive pre-bored, hinges press in, and the line keeps moving. Contractors and installers finishing face-frame kitchens appreciate that the same hinge works on either construction type without swapping to a separate face-frame product. Designers specifying nickel hardware across a kitchen or bath can match this hinge finish to pulls, knobs, and slides from the same finish family. For doors over 24mm, a Grass thick-door hinge is the correct next step.
