Hettich Optimat self-close hinge is a concealed cabinet hinge designed as a 1/2 inch overlay 3D face frame hinge for professional cabinet construction. This Optimat clip-on hinge is a two-piece compact hinge, so the hinge arm separates from the mounting portion, which simplifies hanging and removal of doors during cabinet work. The integrated Silent System provides self-closing action with controlled movement, which helps doors reach the closed position smoothly on everyday use. As a concealed face frame hinge in nickel finish, it fits within the cabinet layout without exposed knuckles, which keeps the exterior of the cabinet visually clean. The 105 degree opening angle gives doors wide access to the cabinet interior, which supports comfortable use of shelves and storage.
This Optimat 3D, 1/2 inch overlay hinge uses side, depth, and height cam adjustments, so the door position can be shifted in all three directions after mounting to align reveals. Side adjustment under 1 inch overlay is plus or minus 1.3mm cam and over 1 inch overlay is plus or minus 1.5mm cam, which provides lateral movement to balance the gap between doors and face frames. Depth adjustment of plus 2.6mm cam moves the door in or out from the cabinet, which helps set flush alignment between the door edge and face frame. Height adjustment of plus or minus 1.4mm cam shifts the door up or down, which is useful for lining up doors along a run of cabinets.
This concealed cabinet hinge belongs to the Optimat Clip-On series, so it functions as part of a two-piece compact hinge system on face frame cabinetry. The 1/2 inch overlay designation indicates the hinge is configured so the door overlays the face frame by approximately one-half inch, which fits layouts built around that overlay size. With a 105 degree opening angle, the hinge allows the door to swing out far enough to access cabinet interiors while maintaining controlled self-close behavior through the integrated Silent System. The 35mm cup diameter with 3mm cup distance follows a known boring pattern, which supports repeatable door preparation across multiple doors in a project. Door thickness up to 3/4 inch (19mm) is supported by the hinge design, which covers many standard cabinet door constructions in wood or similar materials. As a product within the Concealed Face Frame Hinges category, it is intended for cabinets using a face frame structure rather than frameless boxes in typical woodworking applications.
The Optimat 3D hinge uses cam-based side, depth, and height adjustment values, so installers can fine-tune the mounted position without changing the boring pattern. Side adjustment under 1 inch overlay at plus or minus 1.3mm and over 1 inch overlay at plus or minus 1.5mm allows shifting the door left or right relative to the frame, which helps align pairs of doors and balance spacing around openings. Depth adjustment of plus 2.6mm cam lets the door move closer to or farther from the cabinet interior, which affects how the edge of the door sits against the face frame for a consistent front plane. Height adjustment of plus or minus 1.4mm cam gives vertical travel, which is useful when leveling doors across stacked or adjacent cabinets for a straight visual line. The clip-on, two-piece compact design supports removing and refitting doors while preserving the mounted hinge base positions, which is helpful during finishing, transport, or later adjustments on site.
The hinge is a concealed face frame hinge and part of the Concealed Cabinet Hinges class, so it is intended for face frame cabinet construction where hinges are hidden from view.
The hinge is specified as a 1/2 inch overlay 3D face frame hinge, so it is configured for cabinet doors that overlay the face frame by about one-half inch in the design.
The hinge is designed for door thickness up to 3/4 inch (19mm), so doors within that range match the intended operating geometry of the hinge arm and cup.
The hinge uses a cup diameter of 1-3/8 inches (35mm), cup distance of 1/8 inch (3mm), and minimum cup depth of 7/16 inch (11mm), forming a standard 35mm concealed hinge bore pattern.
The hinge provides side, depth, and height cam adjustments, so the mounted door can be shifted in three directions to align reveals, edges, and heights along the cabinet run.
The Hettich Optimat hinge meets and exceeds the minimum requirements of ANSI/BHMA A156.9, which ties it to an established cabinet hardware performance standard.
The Hettich Optimat self-close hinge in the 9285000 configuration combines 1/2 inch overlay geometry, 35mm cup boring, and 6-way cam adjustment, so it supports precise door alignment on face frame cabinets. The integrated Silent System and 105 degree opening angle provide smooth, self-closing operation with wide door swing for everyday cabinet use. Meeting and exceeding ANSI/BHMA A156.9 gives this hinge a defined performance benchmark within concealed cabinet hinges. For projects calling for a 1/2 inch overlay, 3D face frame hinge with these dimensions and adjustment ranges, this Optimat clip-on hinge offers a focused solution.
