Pie Cut Corner Hinge For Angled Cabinet Doors

The Hettich Intermat pie cut corner hinge is built for the angled door panels on pie-cut blind-corner cabinets, on both face-frame and frameless boxes. Its 50-degree opening angle is the correct geometry for this application, keeping the door panel clear of the adjacent cabinet as it swings.

Key Features

• 50-degree opening angle is engineered specifically for pie-cut corner cabinet doors, where a wider swing would cause the panel to collide with the adjacent run.
• Self-close spring draws the door shut over the final degrees of travel without a damper.
• Overlay arm geometry positions the door to cover the cabinet side or stile with the standard overlay reveal.
• Expanding dowel mounting anchors the hinge cup in the door bore for a firm, screw-free cup attachment.
• Works on both face-frame and frameless cabinets when paired with the matching Hettich base plate.
• 35mm cup, 45mm boring pattern fits standard cabinet door boring for this application.

The Right Hinge for a Pie-Cut Corner Door

A pie-cut corner cabinet uses angled door panels that swing out from a diagonal face rather than a standard square opening. The geometry demands a hinge that restricts swing to prevent the door from swinging into the adjacent cabinet or the wall beside it. This Intermat hinge is built to that spec: the 50-degree opening is not a limitation but the correct engineering for the application. Fitting a standard 110-degree hinge here would cause the panel to collide with the neighboring cabinet run on every open.

The 35mm cup seats in a standard bored hole in the door, and the arm connects to a Hettich base plate mounted to the cabinet. That plate is a separate purchase, matched to your cabinet construction. Hettich cross plates provide three-way adjustment and are the standard pairing for Intermat hinges. Plates from other brands will not connect to this hinge.

Steel Build With Expanding Dowel Security

The hinge is steel in a Nickel finish. The expanding dowel mounting replaces the cup screws: the dowel expands in the bored hole to grip the door from the inside, giving a clean look on the door face and a mechanically positive hold. This suits production shops and high-turnover installs where speed and repeatability matter. The door thickness window runs from 14mm to 21mm, covering most standard cabinet door stock.

Who Reaches for This Hinge

Cabinet shops building pie-cut corner units are the primary users, whether the boxes are frameless production cabinets or traditional face-frame construction. It is also a dependable replacement hinge when an existing pie-cut corner door needs a new hinge matched to the original boring. Because the opening angle is fixed at 50 degrees by design, this is not a general-purpose overlay hinge. For standard straight-run doors, an Intermat or Sensys hinge at 110 degrees is the right pick. For soft-close performance on a corner door, look to the soft-close variant of this series.
