Grass TEC 864 Soft-Close 5/8" Overlay Face-Frame Hinges Nickel, 108° Dowel - 01995A-15

Grass TEC 864 Soft Close Hinge For Face Frames

Grass TEC 864 soft close hinge is a concealed cabinet hinge designed for face frame construction, so doors stay flush and hardware stays hidden for a clean cabinet look. This TEC 864 Series hinge line is made in the USA, which supports predictable quality from job to job. As a soft close hinge, it controls the door as it closes, which helps protect cabinet fronts and reduces impact on the frame over repeated cycles. The 5/8 inch overlay design is suited to face frame layouts where the door overlays the frame by that amount, helping maintain consistent reveals across a run of cabinets. Belonging to the concealed face frame hinges category, this hinge keeps the mechanism inside the cabinet envelope, which is useful on finished installations where visible hardware is not desired.

Key TEC 864 Details That Support Cabinet Work

• The TEC 864 Series hinge line is engineered to exceed industry standards for load rating, opening and closing cycles, which supports long service life on frequently used cabinet doors.
• All TEC 864 hinges feature a solid metal cup, so the cup area resists deformation at the mortise and maintains stable seating in the door over time.
• All moving mechanism parts have all-steel construction, which provides a rigid operating linkage under repeated opening and closing loads.
• 108 degree TEC 864 hinges are designed to work with doors up to 3/4 inch thick, allowing use on common cabinet door builds without edge interference.
• TEC hinges have a shallow 10.5 mm cup, which helps fit most profiled door edges where deeper boring could break through the profile.
• TEC 864 hinges have two cabinet mounting options, side mount and wraparound mount, giving flexibility in how the hinge is anchored to the face frame.

Mounting And Adjustment For TEC 864 Face Frames

The wraparound mount style for this TEC 864 hinge mounts on 3/4 inch thick face frames by positively locating the hinge base on the face frame, which simplifies positioning and helps keep alignment consistent across multiple doors. The 108 degree hinge has three dimensional adjustment, so the door position can be fine-tuned after mounting. A cam side adjustment of plus or minus 1.5 mm lets the door be shifted sideways relative to the frame, which is useful for setting even gaps between doors. A cam depth adjustment of 2.5 mm out and 0.5 mm in changes how the door sits in and out from the cabinet, helping align the door face with adjacent fronts. A slotted screw hole height adjustment of plus or minus 2 mm allows minor up and down positioning without reboring the cabinet, which helps reduce rework during final fit.

Using TEC 864 Soft Close Hinges In Cabinet Builds

Where This Wraparound Face Frame Hinge Fits

This Grass TEC 864 soft close hinge is part of the concealed cabinet hinges product class, so it is intended for cabinet doors where hardware should remain hidden when the door is closed. The hinge is designed as a face frame hinge, matching installations that use a 3/4 inch thick face frame. With a 5/8 inch overlay configuration, it matches layouts where the door overlays the frame edge by that dimension, which helps keep reveals consistent when multiple openings share one frame rail. The wraparound mount style engages the face frame by wrapping around its edge, which provides a positive physical reference during mounting. This mount style positively locating the hinge base on the face frame supports repeatable hinge placement across an entire run. The hinge is also part of the TEC 864 Series, so it works within that engineered system for load rating and cycle performance.

Adjustment, Boring, And Cup Design For Clean Results

The 108 degree TEC 864 hinge provides an opening angle suited to typical cabinet access while controlling the swing so doors do not open flat against adjacent surfaces. The three dimensional adjustment combines cam side, cam depth, and slotted screw height functions, which allows the installer to dial in final door position without moving the cup bore. TEC hinges use a shallow 10.5 mm cup, equal to 13/32 inch, which lets the hinge seat in thinner or profiled door designs while leaving more material under the bore. Available boring patterns of 42 mm and 45 mm match common drilling setups, so jigs or line-boring equipment using those patterns can be used across different projects. The hinge is offered in two cabinet door cup fastening designs, screw-on and doweled, so the fastening method can align with the door construction and drilling equipment already in use. The manufacturer part number 01995A-15 identifies this specific TEC WRAP SOFT-CLOSE 5/8 OL DOWEL 45MM configuration, supporting accurate repeat ordering when a project is standardized on this hinge.
