Grass TEC 864 Self-Close 1" Overlay Face-Frame Hinges Nickel, 108° Screw-On - 04395-15

Grass TEC 864 Self Close Hinge For Face Frames

Grass TEC 864 self close hinge gives you a concealed face frame hinge solution for 1 inch overlay cabinet doors, so standard face frame cabinets can use a hidden hinge layout without changing construction methods. The hinge is part of the TEC 864 Series hinge line, so it follows one system across the job when you standardize on this series. All TEC 864 hinges feature a solid metal cup, which supports the door at the bore and provides a durable interface between the cup and the door material during repeated use. All moving mechanism parts have all-steel construction, which carries the hinge load through steel-on-steel pivot points and helps maintain consistent motion over repeated opening and closing cycles. The 108 degree opening angle lets the door swing past 90 degrees, which improves access into the cabinet while still controlling the door travel within a typical face frame layout.

Key TEC 864 Details That Support Cabinet Work

• The Grass face frame TEC 864 Series hinge line is made in the USA, which provides a domestic source for this concealed cabinet hinge and supports consistent supply for production runs.
• 864 hinges are in a concealed cabinet hinges product class, so the hardware is hidden from the front of the cabinet and supports clean face frame cabinet appearances.
• All TEC 864 hinges feature a solid metal cup, which supports the hinge in the door bore and helps the door edge stay stable under repeated opening cycles.
• All moving mechanism parts have all-steel construction, so the hinge movement relies on steel components and maintains its motion characteristics over long-term cabinet use.
• 108 degree TEC 864 hinges are designed to work with doors up to 3/4 inch thick, so standard 3/4 inch cabinet doors stay within the intended operating range of this hinge.
• TEC hinges have a shallow 10.5 mm cup, so the bore is compatible with most profiled door edges and reduces the risk of breaking through thinner edge profiles.

Installation And Adjustment Details For TEC 864

TEC 864 hinges have two cabinet mounting options, side mount and wraparound mount, so the installer can match the hinge base configuration to different face frame cabinet designs. The wraparound mount style mounts on 3/4 inch thick face frames by positively locating the hinge base on the face frame, which gives a clear reference for setting the hinge position on the cabinet. TEC 864 108 degree hinges provide three dimensional adjustment, so the door can be shifted after mounting to fine tune the reveal. The cam side adjustment of plus or minus 1.5 mm moves the door sideways for consistent gaps between doors. The cam depth adjustment of 2.5 mm out and 0.5 mm in shifts the door in and out, which helps align the door face with adjacent fronts. The slotted screw hole height adjustment of plus or minus 2 mm moves the door up or down to align top and bottom reveals across a run of cabinets.

Using This TEC 864 Hinge In Cabinet Projects

Where The TEC 864 Face Frame Hinge Fits

The Grass face frame TEC 864 Series hinge line is set up for concealed face frame hinges, so it fits projects where the cabinet has a face frame and the hardware needs to stay hidden when the door is closed. The SAP description 864VS SIDE MNT HNG 1' OL SCREW-ON identifies this model as a side mount hinge with 1 inch overlay and a screw-on cup, which ties it to face frame layouts using a 1 inch overlay door relationship to the frame. The product name specifies 1 inch overlay and shows the hinge is for face-frame doors, so it matches cabinets built around that overlay dimension. The 108 degree TEC 864 hinge design is intended to work with doors up to 3/4 inch thick, so it aligns with common 3/4 inch cabinet doors used in kitchen and shop installations. Available boring patterns of 42 mm and 45 mm let the installer match the cup boring pattern used on their drilling equipment, which keeps door production consistent when switching or adding this hinge to a job.

Details That Support Repeatable Alignment And Setup

The 108 degree hinge has three dimensional adjustment, which allows side, depth, and height corrections after mounting so the doors can be aligned in place without redrilling. The cam side adjustment of plus or minus 1.5 mm provides controlled lateral movement, which helps create even reveals between adjacent doors and between door and frame. The cam depth adjustment range of 2.5 mm out and 0.5 mm in gives front-to-back movement, so the door face can be brought flush with neighboring doors and drawer fronts. The slotted screw hole height adjustment of plus or minus 2 mm provides vertical movement at the cabinet connection, so the top and bottom edges can be matched across a full cabinet run. TEC 864 hinges use a screw-on cup fastening design in this model, so the hinge cup fastens directly into the door using screws. The hinge uses #6 x 5/8 inch flat head for the hinge cup and #8 x 3/4 pan head screws for cabinet mounting, which defines the screw sizes that match the factory design for this hinge system.
