Hettich Optimat Self-Close Hinge For Face Frames

Hettich Optimat self-close hinge is a concealed cabinet hinge designed for 1-1/4 inch overlay face frame doors, so it lets you keep the hardware hidden while setting the overlay you need on framed cabinets. This Optimat clip-on hinge is a two-piece compact hinge, which separates the mounting and hinge components to support straightforward cabinet construction and door hanging. The hinge provides self-close action, so the door is pulled shut at the end of travel, which helps doors sit consistently closed in everyday use. The design is part of Hettich America Corporation's concealed face frame hinge line, so it fits into typical cabinet hardware layouts that call for face frame-specific hinges. As a concealed cabinet hinge, it works behind the door and frame, keeping the front of the cabinet visually clean while still providing the mechanical support needed for regular door operation.

Key Hettich Optimat Features For Cabinet Work

• Optimat clip-on hinges are a two-piece compact hinge with the integrated silent system, which lets the door move quietly while the clip-on design supports straightforward hinge-to-plate connection during cabinet assembly and adjustment.
• Optimat is a 6-way adjustable face frame hinge in 3 overlays, so a single hinge family can cover multiple overlay requirements while still providing independent fine-tuning in several directions on the installed door.
• The hinge is designed for door thickness up to 3/4 inch (19mm), which matches common cabinet door construction and helps keep boring and mounting processes consistent across typical shop-built or job-site-modified doors.
• The cup distance of 1/8 inch (3mm) and cup diameter of 1-3/8 inch (35mm) give a known boring pattern, so hinge cup drilling can follow standard 35mm concealed hinge setups using routine jigs or line-boring equipment.
• Side adjustment under 1 inch overlay of plus or minus 1.3mm cam and over 1 inch of plus or minus 1.7mm cam allows lateral fine-tuning, which helps align reveals across multiple doors on a run of face frame cabinets.
• Depth adjustment of plus 2.6mm cam and height adjustment of plus or minus 1.4mm cam provide in-and-out and up-and-down control at the hinge, supporting final fit work so doors sit correctly to the frame after installation.

Face Frame Hinge Fit, Cup Boring, And Adjustment

This concealed cabinet hinge is listed as a 105 degree hinge, so the door can open to a wide working angle that supports access inside the cabinet while still protecting adjacent doors and walls in many layouts. The hinge uses a 1-3/8 inch (35mm) cup diameter with 1/8 inch (3mm) cup distance, which ties directly into common 35mm boring equipment and setups in cabinet shops. With depth adjustment of plus 2.6mm cam, the hinge lets you bring the door closer to or farther from the face frame at the hinge side, helping compensate for minor construction variation. Height adjustment of plus or minus 1.4mm cam at the hinge supports vertical alignment of the door edge to the frame rails, improving the visual line across a bank of doors. Side adjustment ranges tied to under 1 inch and over 1 inch overlays let the same hinge design cover different overlay conditions, which can simplify layout when working across mixed cabinet sections.

Using This 3D Face-Frame Hinge In Real Jobs

Where This Concealed Face Frame Hinge Fits

This hinge is specified as a concealed face frame hinge in the hinges category, so it is intended for cabinets built with a face frame rather than frameless construction. The 1-1/4 inch overlay designation identifies it for doors that cover 1-1/4 inches of the face frame, supporting common overlay choices in kitchen and bath cabinets. Because the hinge is a two-piece compact hinge, it keeps the working hardware clustered tightly at the corner of the cabinet, which is useful when interior space is at a premium. Door thickness capacity up to 3/4 inch (19mm) aligns with many standard cabinet door builds, so it fits typical rail-and-stile or slab doors used on face frame projects. The hinge is categorized as a concealed cabinet hinge, so it operates behind the door and frame, preserving a clean cabinet front while giving full mechanical function for everyday door use.

Why Adjustment And Silent System Matter On Site

The Optimat clip-on hinge is described as a 6-way adjustable face frame hinge, which means height, side, and depth adjustments are all available to refine the door position without redrilling components. Side adjustment using cams with ranges linked to under 1 inch and over 1 inch overlays allows lateral shifting of the door on the frame, which helps produce even gaps between doors and between door and frame. Depth adjustment of plus 2.6mm cam gives in-and-out positioning, which is especially useful when frames or doors are slightly out of plane yet need to close flush. Height adjustment of plus or minus 1.4mm cam lets you move the door up or down relative to the frame rails, aligning stiles and rails across a full cabinet run. The hinge also has an integrated silent system, so the motion is cushioned at the hinge, which can reduce impact at closing and support a more controlled door movement in daily cabinet use.
