Concealed Hinge For Full Overlay Doors on Face-Frame and Frameless Cabinets

The Grass Tiomos Impresso is a full overlay concealed hinge with a self-close spring and toolless snap-on mounting, built for both face-frame and frameless cabinet construction in a nickel finish.

Key Features

• Self-close spring draws the door shut over the last few degrees of travel so it latches without a push.
• 110 degree opening delivers the standard swing for everyday cabinet access.
• Full overlay straight arm positions the door to cover nearly the entire cabinet side, leaving a narrow reveal.
• Toolless snap-on arm engagement connects the hinge to the base plate without a screwdriver for fast door hanging and removal.
• Three-way adjustment at plus or minus 3mm on height, side, and depth brings doors to an even reveal after install.
• 42/45mm dual bore pattern accommodates both Grass standard and common 45mm boring, useful when replacing hinges on existing casework.

A Spring Close on Full Overlay Doors

This hinge is the right call when full overlay doors need to close on their own, without a damped cushion. The self-close spring activates over the last few degrees and pulls the door to the latch, which is what keeps cabinet fronts from hanging open after a light push. Full overlay geometry positions the door over the cabinet side so only a narrow gap separates adjacent doors or the door from the cabinet edge.

The 35mm cup bores into the back of the door at a 12.6mm cup depth. The hinge arm then snaps onto a Grass base plate on the cabinet, which is ordered separately. Grass plates are series-specific, so use a plate matched to the Tiomos line. The 42/45mm dual bore pattern gives some flexibility when bringing this hinge into a shop that already bores at 45mm.

Steel Construction in a Nickel Finish

The hinge is steel in a nickel finish. The Tiomos Impresso platform is built for production volume, and the snap-on engagement reflects that: doors go on and come off without reaching for a screwdriver, and the three-way adjustment range handles the small inconsistencies that show up across a run of cabinets. Doors up to 24mm thick seat correctly in the 35mm cup, which is worth noting for shops working with thicker door stock than the typical 18 to 22mm range.

Face-Frame Shops, Frameless Production, and Mixed Installs

Because this hinge is rated for both face-frame and frameless cabinets, it fits into shops that build across both construction styles without stocking two different hinge lines. It suits kitchen and bath cabinet shops running volume, contractors hanging production cabinets, and remodelers replacing hinges on existing face-frame boxes. The self-close mechanism is the economical closing option; if the project specifies a cushioned, quiet close rather than a spring pull, the Tiomos soft-close version is the comparable choice in this series.
