Hettich Intermat Self-Close Hinge For Cabinets

Hettich Intermat self-close hinge is a concealed cabinet hinge engineered for full overlay applications on face-frame or frameless cabinets, so doors cover the cabinet side cleanly while staying hidden from view when closed. As a European standard hinge with a 110 degree opening angle, it lets doors swing wide enough for comfortable access without overstressing the hinge arm in typical cabinet layouts. A 35mm cup diameter matches the common European boring pattern, and an 11.6mm cup depth suits standard hinge boring on many cabinet doors, helping streamline door preparation on drill presses or line boring machines. The hinge is specified for door thickness from 15mm to 25mm, which covers a typical range of cabinet door materials and constructions in woodworking shops. Self-close action draws the door shut at the end of travel, providing consistent closing behavior that supports neat, repeatable cabinet installations.

Key Hinge Details That Support Cabinet Work

• Full overlay functionality allows the door to cover the cabinet side, which is useful on face-frame and frameless cabinets that need a clean, flush front appearance.
• Concealed hinge design keeps hardware hidden when the door is closed, supporting modern cabinet styling while leaving the hinge arm accessible inside for adjustments.
• Door thickness range of 15mm to 25mm covers many cabinet door builds, so a single hinge model can be applied across multiple jobs using standard panel materials.
• 35mm cup diameter follows common European drilling patterns, simplifying boring operations and allowing use of standard cup boring bits on production equipment.
• 11.6mm cup depth matches typical hinge cup recess depths, which helps maintain consistent drilling setups and reduces rework on door preparation.
• 110 degree opening angle provides generous access into the cabinet interior while helping doors clear adjacent components in many standard cabinet layouts.

Hinge Adjustment Details For Clean Door Alignment

This Hettich Intermat concealed hinge provides integrated overlay adjustment of plus 2mm to minus 2mm, so lateral door position can be tuned after mounting to close gaps between adjacent doors. Integrated depth adjustment of plus 2.5mm to minus 1.5mm lets the door move in and out relative to the cabinet front, helping align door faces in a bank of cabinets. Height adjustment is handled at the mounting plate, allowing vertical tweaking of the door position without reboring the 35mm cup, which supports fine-tuning reveals over uneven floors or cabinet runs. Together, these adjustments support precise alignment on both face-frame and frameless cabinet constructions using doors in the 15mm to 25mm thickness range.

Using This European Standard Hinge In Cabinet Builds

Where This Concealed Cabinet Hinge Fits Best

This concealed cabinet hinge is classified as a European standard hinge within the concealed cabinet hinges class, placing it in a familiar format for many cabinet shops and installers. It is intended for full overlay applications on both face-frame and frameless cabinets, so it suits projects where the door edge extends past the cabinet side for a clean front. The 35mm cup diameter and 11.6mm cup depth match typical boring layouts, which is practical for production environments that rely on consistent drill depths. Door thickness coverage from 15mm to 25mm aligns with common cabinet door constructions, so the same hinge model can be specified for a range of materials without changing boring equipment. The 110 degree opening angle works well on many kitchen, bath, and casework layouts that do not require extreme opening angles, helping doors open comfortably without interfering with adjacent fronts in typical runs.

Why These Hinge Adjustments Support Repeatable Results

The integrated overlay adjustment of plus 2mm to minus 2mm allows the door edge to shift sideways relative to the cabinet front, which is valuable for tightening reveals between full overlay doors in multi-door runs. Integrated depth adjustment of plus 2.5mm to minus 1.5mm moves the door in and out, helping align door faces flush across cabinets when carcasses are slightly out of plane. Height adjustment at the mounting plate lets the door move up or down without altering the 35mm cup position, so installers can respond to field conditions while leaving factory-bored doors untouched. Quality classification under EN 15570, Level 2, identifies that the hinge design has been evaluated under a recognized European standard for hinges, which supports consistent behavior across repeated openings and closings in everyday cabinet use. Together, these adjustment ranges and the European standard classification help deliver repeatable alignment results on both face-frame and frameless cabinets using doors within the specified 15mm to 25mm thickness.
