95-Degree Soft-Close Thick Door Hinge for Overlay Face-Frame and Frameless Cabinets

The Grass Tiomos thick door hinge handles overlay doors up to 36mm thick on both face-frame and frameless cabinets, with integrated soft-close and a dowel mount that seats directly into the door's bored holes.

Key Features

• Rated for doors up to 36mm thick, the arm and cup geometry are engineered to clear a thick door front without binding.
• Integrated soft-close damps the door over the final closing arc so it settles quietly rather than slamming.
• 95-degree opening angle is the designed swing for thick-door applications, giving the clearance a heavy door needs.
• Dowel mount presses into the door's pre-bored 8mm dowel holes for a clean, screw-free cup attachment.
• Three-way adjustment provides 3mm of travel in height, side, and depth to dial in even reveals after install.
• Fits face-frame and frameless cabinets when paired with the matching Grass base plate, sold separately.

Built for Doors a Standard Hinge Cannot Seat

A standard 35mm cup is sized for doors in the 16 to 22mm range. Push past that with a thicker slab front, a furniture-grade panel, or a solid hardwood door, and the cup geometry stops working: the arm cannot clear the door face and the door binds or will not close flush. This Tiomos thick door hinge solves that with modified arm geometry and a cup depth tuned for the extra material. The 35mm cup bores into the door, and the dowel mount presses the hinge into pre-drilled 8mm dowel holes, so no cup screws are needed on the door side. The arm then snaps to a Grass base plate mounted on the cabinet, and the 45mm boring pattern matches production-bored Grass installations.

The 95-degree opening is the angle that lets a thick door swing clear of the cabinet face without the door edge striking the frame or side panel. On a thick slab this is the correct engineering, not a restriction, and it provides full practical access to the cabinet interior.

Steel Build with Nickel Finish and a Quiet Close

The hinge body is steel with a Nickel finish. The integrated Grass soft-close damper is built into the hinge mechanism itself, so the door decelerates over the last few degrees of travel without an add-on adapter. On thick solid or engineered doors, where the extra mass would otherwise amplify the impact of closing, that built-in damping carries a real functional benefit beyond the quieter sound.

Where This Hinge Belongs

This is the hinge to reach for when the door specification pushes past standard thickness, on either a frameless Euro-box or a face-frame cabinet. Cabinet shops building furniture-style pieces with thick slab fronts, designers specifying solid hardwood overlay doors, and contractors working on high-end renovations with heavy door panels will all find this the right fit. For doors within the standard 16 to 22mm range, a standard Tiomos hinge covers the job. A compatible Grass base plate is required and sold separately; use Grass plates only, as plates are brand and series specific.

Common Questions

The Right Hinge When the Door Is Too Thick for Standard Hardware

Specify this Tiomos hinge when thick slab or solid hardwood overlay doors are part of the design, and keep the install moving with a hinge that fits the door rather than a workaround that does not.
