Nickel Finish Concealed Hinge Built for Flush Inset Doors

This Hettich Intermat hinge is designed for inset doors that sit flush inside the cabinet opening, delivering a self-closing concealed mount on both face-frame and frameless cabinets with a clean nickel finish.

Key Features

• Inset door geometry positions the door flush within the cabinet opening for a tight, even reveal on all sides.
• Self-close spring pulls the door shut over the last few degrees of travel so it does not stand ajar.
• 110 degree opening angle delivers standard everyday access for kitchen, bath, and casework doors.
• Dowel mounting presses pre-attached dowels directly into bored holes for fast, accurate positioning in production environments.
• Full crank arm with 45mm boring pattern sets the inset position and aligns with standard door boring.
• Nickel finish on steel holds up to daily use while coordinating with other visible nickel hardware in the space.

Hanging Doors That Live Inside the Opening

An inset door does not overlap the cabinet face — it sits inside the opening with a small, even gap framing it on all sides. That look demands precise geometry, and this hinge provides it. The 35mm cup bores into the back of the door, and the full crank arm carries the inset position so the door swings clear of the opening without binding. The hinge connects to a Hettich base plate on the cabinet, which is sold separately and matched to your cabinet construction. This hinge works on both face-frame stiles and frameless side panels, so a single SKU covers either box type in a mixed project.

Steel Construction in a Nickel Finish

The body is steel with a nickel finish. For inset cabinetry, finish coordination matters more than it does on a fully concealed overlay hinge, because the reveal framing the door puts the hardware closer to the viewer's line of sight. Nickel reads as a warm, polished neutral that pairs naturally with brushed nickel pulls, knobs, and hinges across a room. The door thickness window runs from 15mm to 25mm, so the hinge handles both standard European panels and slightly thicker solid-wood doors without swapping to a thick-door model.

Where This Hinge Belongs

This is the right pick for cabinet shops, furniture builders, and finish carpenters working on flush inset projects — traditional kitchens, built-ins, and furniture pieces where the door sitting inside the opening is the defining detail. The dowel mount suits CNC and production workflows where door boring is done on a line-bore machine: the pre-attached dowels drop into the bored holes, setting position consistently across a run of doors without adjusting each hinge by hand. For one-off site work where a screw-on mount is more practical, check the screw-on Intermat versions in this family. And if the project calls for a damped, quiet close rather than a spring pull, the soft-close version of this series is the one to specify.
