Nickel Concealed Hinge for Half Overlay Doors at 125 Degrees

This Hettich Intermat hinge is a self-closing concealed hinge built for half overlay doors on face-frame and frameless cabinets, with a 125 degree opening angle and a dowel-mount cup that presses directly into the door bore.

Key Features

• 125 degree opening angle provides a wider swing than the standard 110 degree hinge, improving access to the cabinet interior.
• Half overlay, half crank arm positions the door to cover part of the cabinet side, the geometry used where two doors share a single partition.
• Self-close spring draws the door shut automatically once released within a few degrees of closed.
• Dowel-mount cup presses into pre-bored dowel holes in the door without cup screws, speeding up installation on CNC-prepared parts.
• 35mm cup, 45mm bore pattern fits the standard concealed-hinge boring found on most production doors.
• Nickel finish on steel for a clean, neutral appearance that coordinates with most cabinet hardware.

Where the 125 Degree Swing Earns Its Place

The standard concealed hinge opens to 110 degrees. Adding 15 degrees changes the feel of daily use: the door swings further back, base cabinet drawers clear more cleanly, and corner cabinet doors open far enough to give genuine access without a second reach. This hinge is the practical choice when the design calls for a half overlay door and the client wants a more open swing than standard. The half crank arm sets the door to a partial overlay, the configuration used on pairs of doors sharing one center partition, where a full overlay arm would cause the adjacent door to collide. The 35mm cup bores into the door face, and the arm clips to a Hettich base plate on the cabinet, ordered separately. Use Hettich plates: mounting plates are brand-specific and a plate from another manufacturer will not engage this hinge correctly.

Steel Construction With a Nickel Finish

The hinge body is steel in a nickel finish. The nickel tone reads as a clean, mid-tone neutral that works alongside stainless pulls, brushed hardware, and most standard cabinet finishes without drawing attention to the hinge itself. Depth adjustment of plus 3mm and minus 2mm, combined with plus or minus 2mm of side adjustment, lets the installer bring doors flush and even after the cabinet is set, without removing doors from the plates. The Intermat series sits in Hettich's standard line, built for reliable everyday performance on residential and light commercial work.

Right for Face-Frame and Frameless Builds

This hinge works on both face-frame and frameless cabinets, which makes it a single SKU across mixed-construction jobs. It suits cabinet shops running CNC-drilled doors, where the dowel-mount cup presses in without screws and the consistent boring pattern keeps the line moving. It also fits remodelers and contractors who want a recognizable Hettich Intermat hinge with a wider opening angle than the 110 degree standard. For doors in the 16 to 22mm thickness range, this is a straightforward fit. Thicker doors need a thick-door hinge with deeper cup geometry. If the project calls for a cushioned, damped close rather than a spring pull, the Hettich Sensys with Silent System soft-close is the upgrade path within the Hettich family.

A Wider Swing, Clean Finish, Fast Mount

Specify this hinge when half overlay doors need a 125 degree opening, a self-closing spring, and a nickel finish that fits quietly into the finished cabinet.
