Blind Corner Hinge for Inset Doors That Need Controlled Swing

This Grass Tiomos blind corner hinge is built for inset doors on cabinets that sit in or adjacent to a corner, where controlling the swing prevents the door from striking the wall or neighboring cabinet. It works on both face-frame and frameless boxes, with integrated soft-close and a screw-on mount.

Key Features

• Blind corner geometry restricts the opening arc so the door clears an adjacent cabinet or wall without collision.
• Inset overlay positions the door flush inside the cabinet opening with an even reveal on all sides.
• Integrated soft-close damps the door over the final degrees of travel so it settles quietly.
• 110 degree opening angle delivers usable access while keeping the swing within the corner clearance envelope.
• Screw-on mounting fastens the hinge directly to the cabinet with wood screws, no clip plate required at the arm.
• Three-way adjustment moves the door height, side, and depth independently after installation.

Why the Blind Corner Application Needs Its Own Hinge

A standard inset hinge opens past the point where a corner-adjacent door runs into trouble. The blind corner version is engineered to keep the swing within the space the corner allows, so the door clears the adjacent cabinet face or wall without binding or denting. The 110 degree opening is not a shortcoming here; it is the angle that makes the geometry work in a tight corner. The 35mm cup bores into the back of the door, and the hinge arm screws to a base plate on the cabinet side, ordered separately. The plate is brand-specific to the Tiomos line.

Tiomos Construction and a Finish Built for Visible Hardware

The hinge is steel with a nickel finish. Tiomos is Grass's premium concealed platform, and the build quality shows in the adjustment range: three-way movement of up to 3mm in height, side, and depth lets you true up an inset door after the cabinet is set in place. Inset work is unforgiving on reveals, so that post-install adjustability is what keeps the flush face looking right over time. The integrated soft-close protects the tight inset fit by taking the impact out of daily closing.

Where This Hinge Belongs on the Job

This hinge is the right call for face-frame or frameless cabinets in corner runs, where an inset door needs to open without hitting the adjacent box or wall. It suits cabinetmakers and installers specifying blind corner solutions for traditional or transitional kitchens, built-ins, and furniture where a flush inset face is part of the design. For doors up to 24mm thick, the bore and arm geometry work as designed. Pair it with a compatible Tiomos base plate. If the application is a standard non-corner cabinet, a standard inset hinge is the simpler pick.

Corner Installs That Close Quietly and Stay Square

Specify this hinge when the corner run calls for inset doors that open cleanly, sit flush, and settle without a slam, and the job needs hardware built to hold that result.
