50-Degree Swing And Corner-Cabinet Fit

This Hettich Intermat pie cut corner hinge is built for the angled opening of a pie cut or blind-corner cabinet, with a 50-degree opening angle sized to clear adjacent cabinetry and a self-close spring that pulls the door shut on its own. It mounts by dowel into the door and suits both face-frame and frameless cabinet boxes.

Key Features

• 50-degree opening angle is the correct geometry for pie cut and blind-corner cabinet doors that must clear the adjacent cabinet without collision.
• Self-close spring draws the door shut automatically from the last few degrees of travel.
• Dowel mounting presses the cup into bored dowel holes for a screw-free door-side connection, suited to CNC and production workflows.
• Overlay straight arm positions the door to cover the cabinet edge at a standard overlay.
• Works on face-frame and frameless cabinets when paired with the appropriate Hettich base plate, sold separately.
• Fits doors 14 to 21mm thick, covering the range from thinner engineered panels through standard 19mm stock.

What the 50-Degree Angle Actually Does

A pie cut corner cabinet opens at an angle relative to the run, not straight outward. If a standard hinge were used here, the door would swing into the adjacent cabinet face before it reached a useful opening. The 50-degree geometry on this hinge is the engineered answer: the door swings to the clearance the corner allows and stops there. That restricted angle is the correct spec for this application, not a shortcoming. The 35mm cup bores into the back of the door, and the arm clips to a Hettich base plate mounted to the cabinet, ordered separately. Hettich plates are not interchangeable with other brands.

Steel Construction and a Nickel Finish

The hinge body is steel with a nickel finish. Corner cabinet hardware takes repetitive use from doors that swing in a confined path, and the steel build holds its geometry through daily cycling. The nickel finish blends cleanly with standard interior hardware and keeps its appearance inside the corner where the hinge is visible on access.

Where This Hinge Belongs

Specify this hinge for pie cut corner cabinets in kitchens and built-ins where the door must clear an adjacent cabinet. The dowel mount makes it a natural fit for CNC shops and production environments running pre-bored doors, where pressing in rather than screwing in saves time across a batch. It suits face-frame and frameless boxes alike, so it carries through a mixed job without a separate SKU for each cabinet type. For a door outside the 14 to 21mm thickness range, a different hinge series is needed.

Corner Doors That Close and Clear Every Time
