Nickel Concealed Hinge for Half Overlay Doors on Face-Frame and Frameless Cabinets

This Grass Tiomos concealed hinge is built for half overlay doors on both face-frame and frameless cabinets, with a self-closing spring and a screw-on mount in a nickel finish.

Key Features

• Self-close spring pulls the door shut over the last few degrees of travel.
• Half overlay, half crank arm positions each door to overlap the cabinet side by about half, the standard setup for two doors sharing a center partition.
• 110 degree opening provides full everyday access to the cabinet interior.
• Screw-on mounting fastens the hinge body directly to the cabinet with wood screws, no clip mechanism required.
• Three-way adjustment dials in height, depth, and side position after the doors are hung.
• Works on face-frame and frameless boxes for flexibility across different cabinet builds.

The Right Geometry for Shared Partitions

Half overlay is the configuration where two adjacent doors each cover about half of a shared center partition or stile, meeting in the middle with a small reveal. The half crank arm on this hinge is built for exactly that geometry. On a face-frame cabinet, it positions the door over the stile. On a frameless box, it sets the door to the correct offset from the panel edge. A matching base plate, sold separately and specific to the Tiomos series, mounts to the cabinet and receives the hinge arm. The 35mm cup bores into the back of the door at a 45mm hole spacing.

Steel Build, Nickel Finish, and Post-Hang Tuning

The hinge is steel with a nickel finish. Once the doors are up, the three-way adjustment brings everything into alignment: side movement corrects the gap between adjacent doors, height adjustment levels the door face, and depth adjustment seats the door flush with the cabinet front. The adjustment range covers plus or minus a few millimeters in each direction, which is the range needed to account for cabinet variations in a real installation. This hinge is sized for door stock up to 24mm thick, a step above the standard 22mm ceiling, so it accommodates slightly heavier solid wood doors without moving to a thick-door hinge.

Where This Hinge Belongs

Reach for this hinge when the job calls for half overlay doors across face-frame kitchen cabinetry, bath vanities, or frameless shop-built boxes. It suits cabinet shops running production work and contractors installing pre-built cabinets who need a dependable, direct-mount hinge without a quick-clip system. The screw-on mount is a straightforward mechanical connection, which makes it a reliable choice in higher-vibration or commercial settings where a clip-on arm would need periodic re-seating. If the project calls for a cushioned, damped close rather than a spring pull, the Tiomos soft-close version of this overlay is the hinge to specify instead.
