Nickel Pie Cut Corner Hinge for Tight 50-Degree Cabinet Angles

This Hettich Intermat pie cut corner hinge is built for the angled doors found in pie-cut blind-corner cabinets, carrying a self-close mechanism and an expanding-dowel mount on both frameless and face-frame construction.

Key Features

• 50-degree opening angle matches the geometry of pie-cut corner cabinet doors, letting them clear the adjacent cabinet without collision.
• Self-close spring draws the door shut over the last few degrees of travel.
• Expanding dowel mount anchors the cup firmly in the door bore for a mechanical connection that resists pull-out.
• Overlay arm geometry positions the door over the cabinet side or face-frame stile.
• Works on frameless and face-frame cabinets so one part covers both construction types on a mixed job.
• Nickel finish on steel for a clean, durable look where the hinge is visible during install.

The Right Hinge for a Pie-Cut Corner

A pie-cut corner cabinet uses angled door panels that rotate out of the corner opening as a pair. Each panel swings on its own hinge, and the geometry only works when the hinge opening angle matches the cabinet's cut angle. This hinge is engineered for that 50-degree arc, the angle that lets a pie-cut door clear the cabinet front and the adjacent run without binding or collision. The 35mm cup bores into the back of the door, and the arm connects to a base plate on the cabinet, ordered separately. The plate must be matched to Hettich Intermat in your frameless or face-frame configuration.

Steel Build with a Secure Dowel Connection

The hinge body is steel in a Nickel finish. The expanding-dowel mount is the detail worth noting for corner installations: as the dowel expands in the bore, it locks the hinge mechanically into the door rather than relying on screw threads alone. Corner doors take an angled load every time they open, and the dowel connection holds that geometry in place over years of use. Door thickness must fall between 14mm and 21mm for the cup to seat correctly.

Where This Hinge Belongs

Specify this hinge for pie-cut rotating-shelf corner cabinets in kitchens, baths, and built-ins where the angled door panels need a dedicated 50-degree hinge rather than a standard overlay hinge. It suits cabinet shops laying out a full kitchen run that includes a pie-cut corner unit, as well as contractors replacing worn corner hinges on an existing installation. The self-close spring means the door will pull itself shut without a separate catch, which matters on a corner door that does not always get a firm push. This hinge is for indoor cabinetry in standard temperature and humidity conditions.

Corner Doors That Open Cleanly and Close on Their Own

When the job includes a pie-cut corner cabinet, this hinge delivers the exact 50-degree swing that lets angled doors work the way the cabinet was designed, with a self-close spring and a mechanical dowel hold that last through daily use.
