95-Degree Blind Corner Hinge for Tight-Clearance Cabinet Doors

The Hettich Intermat blind corner hinge is a concealed self-close hinge built for doors on blind corner cabinets, where a restricted 95-degree swing keeps the door from colliding with the adjacent cabinet wall. It works on both face-frame and frameless cabinet boxes and mounts with a screw-on connection.

Key Features

• 95-degree opening angle is the designed clearance geometry for blind corner doors, preventing the door from striking the adjacent cabinet.
• Self-close spring pulls the door shut automatically over the last few degrees of travel.
• Overlay arm geometry positions the door to overlap the cabinet side or frame in a standard overlay configuration.
• Screw-on mounting fastens the hinge directly to the cabinet without a clip plate, for a solid mechanical connection.
• Wider door thickness range handles doors from 15mm to 28mm, covering thin veneered panels through thicker solid-wood doors.
• Hettich Intermat series pairs with Hettich cross plates for three-way adjustment on either frameless or face-frame construction.

Why the 95-Degree Angle Is the Right Spec Here

On a blind corner cabinet, the door sits adjacent to a wall or a neighboring cabinet run. Swinging to a full 110 degrees would drive the door edge into that obstruction. The 95-degree limit is the engineered solution: it gives the door enough travel to open usefully while keeping it clear of what is beside it. This is not a reduced-capability hinge; it is the correct hinge for the job. The 35mm cup bores into the back of the door at a 45mm bore pattern, and the arm connects to a base plate mounted on the cabinet, which is sold separately. Use a matching Hettich plate to get the three-way adjustment the Intermat series is designed around.

Steel Build with a Screw-On Connection

The hinge is steel in a nickel finish. The screw-on mount fastens the plate directly to the cabinet side or stile with wood screws rather than a clip or tool-free mechanism, which is a practical choice when the installation calls for a fixed, non-quick-disconnect connection. The depth adjustment runs plus 3mm and minus 2mm; side adjustment runs plus or minus 2mm. Those ranges are enough to dial in reveal consistency across a run of blind corner doors once the plates are set.

Where This Hinge Fits

This is the hinge for cabinet shops, contractors, and remodelers working blind corner layouts on either frameless or face-frame boxes. The broader thickness window, 15mm to 28mm, means it handles a wider range of door stock than a standard hinge, from thinner engineered panels to thicker solid-wood slab doors, without switching to a dedicated thick-door product. If the project also involves standard 90-degree cabinet positions alongside the blind corner run, the same Intermat base plates carry across both applications. For a damped, cushioned close rather than a spring pull, the soft-close version of this series is the one to specify instead.

Common Questions

The Right Hinge for the Tightest Corner in the Layout

Specify this hinge when the design places a door beside a wall or an adjacent cabinet run and you need a concealed, self-closing solution that fits the space without modification.
