Soft-Close Concealed Hinge For Full Overlay Face-Frame and Frameless Cabinets

The Grass Tiomos Impresso is a full overlay concealed hinge with integrated soft-close, toolless snap-on arm engagement, and three-way adjustment, built for both face-frame and frameless cabinets in a nickel finish.

Key Features

• Integrated soft-close damps the door through the final closing arc so it settles quietly without slamming.
• Full overlay straight arm positions the door to cover nearly the entire cabinet side with a narrow reveal.
• Toolless snap-on mounting connects the arm to its Grass base plate without a screwdriver for fast door hanging and removal.
• Three-way adjustment dials height, side, and depth independently so doors line up after installation.
• 42/45mm dual bore pattern accommodates both boring spacings common in production and custom shops.
• Rated for doors up to 24mm thick, covering standard cabinet door stock and slightly heavier panels.

Where This Hinge Earns Its Place

Full overlay is the most common door configuration in modern cabinetry: one door per opening, covering the cabinet side from edge to edge with just a narrow gap between adjacent doors. This hinge is built for that application on either frameless boxes or face-frame cabinets, so a shop running both construction types can spec one hinge across the job. The 35mm cup bores into the back of the door at 12.6mm depth, and the arm snaps onto a Grass base plate mounted to the cabinet. That plate is a separate purchase, matched to the Tiomos series and your cabinet construction. Because Grass plates are not interchangeable with other brands, pair this hinge with Grass Tiomos plates only.

Tiomos Build and the Snap-On Advantage

The Impresso is steel with a nickel finish, the standard corrosion-resistant surface for interior cabinet work. What separates the Tiomos platform from basic concealed hinges is the snap-on arm engagement: the arm locks onto the plate with an audible click and releases cleanly when a door needs to come off, which matters on a long install run or a service call. The three-way adjustment range of plus or minus 2 to 3mm in each axis is enough to correct for typical case variation without loosening hardware and starting over. Soft-close is built into the hinge body, so no add-on damper is needed and nothing clips onto the arm after the fact.

Who Reaches for This Hinge

Cabinet shops running production kitchens or bath projects, contractors setting completed boxes, and designers specifying hardware for remodels all land on this hinge for the same reasons: it works on face-frame and frameless alike, the soft-close is integrated rather than added on, and the snap-on mounting keeps installation moving. The 42/45mm dual bore pattern means it drops into either boring setup without a dedicated run of doors. For doors thicker than 24mm, move to a thick-door hinge. This hinge is for dry indoor cabinetry.
