Grass Tiomos Blind Corner Hinge for Inset Doors

This Grass Tiomos blind corner hinge hangs inset doors on cabinets positioned adjacent to a wall or neighboring cabinet, with integrated soft-close and dowel mounting, on both face-frame and frameless boxes.

Key Features

• Blind corner geometry restricts the swing so an inset door clears an adjacent cabinet or wall without collision.
• Integrated soft-close slows the door over the final degrees of closing so it settles quietly into its flush position.
• Inset arm style places the door flush inside the cabinet opening with an even reveal on all sides.
• Dowel mounting presses the 35mm cup into pre-bored dowel holes for fast, screw-free door attachment in production environments.
• Three-way adjustment lets height, depth, and side position all be dialed in after the door is hung.
• Face-frame and frameless compatible covers both cabinet construction types with a single hinge.

Where the Blind Corner Angle Does the Work

A blind corner cabinet sits where a wall, a column, or an adjacent run of cabinets limits how far the door can swing. A standard hinge at 110 degrees would send the door straight into that obstruction. This hinge is built to prevent that: its arm geometry restricts the swing to a safe arc so the inset door clears whatever is alongside the cabinet. The 110-degree opening angle here reflects the travel the geometry allows before the door meets resistance, not a shortcoming in the hinge.

Inset work adds its own demands. The door sits inside the opening rather than over it, so the fit is tight and the hinge must place it precisely. The cup bores into the door at 35mm, and the arm connects to a separate Grass base plate mounted to the cabinet side or stile. That plate is sold separately and must be a Grass plate matched to this series. Plates from other brands will not connect to the Tiomos arm.

Tiomos Build and Soft-Close Performance

The hinge is steel with a nickel finish, built to the Tiomos platform's tolerances. The dowel mounting seats the cup in pre-bored 8mm dowel holes for a consistent, repeatable position without cup screws, which makes it the faster choice on CNC-bored doors. Soft-close is integrated directly into the hinge body, so no add-on damper is needed. It takes the impact out of the final close, which matters on inset doors where a slam can drive the door edge into the tight opening gap and stress the reveal over time. Maximum door thickness is 24mm, accommodating slightly thicker stock than a standard concealed hinge.

Who Reaches for This Hinge

Cabinet shops running CNC production will value the dowel mount for consistent boring and fast assembly. Installers specifying a full run of face-frame or frameless cabinets that turn a corner will find this hinge handles the blind corner position while matching the Tiomos soft-close spec of the rest of the run. It suits inset work specifically. For a door that overlays the cabinet side rather than sitting inside the opening, an overlay version of the Tiomos blind corner hinge is the correct choice. For a corner cabinet without a blind-corner restriction, a standard inset Tiomos hinge applies instead.

Precise Placement, Quiet Close, Corner Cleared

Specify this hinge when an inset door needs to live at a blind corner, land flush in its opening, and close without a slam on either a face-frame or frameless cabinet.
