Hettich Sensys Concealed Hinge in Nickel for Full Overlay Doors

This Hettich Sensys hinge mounts full overlay doors on both face-frame and frameless cabinets, with a self-close spring and toolless arm engagement in a nickel finish that coordinates with other visible hardware.

Key Features

• Self-close spring pulls the door shut over the last few degrees of travel so it latches without manual effort.
• Full overlay straight arm positions the door to cover nearly the entire cabinet side, leaving a narrow reveal.
• 110 degree opening gives the standard swing for everyday cabinet access.
• Toolless arm engagement lets the door clip on and off the mounted plate without a screwdriver.
• Works on face-frame and frameless cabinets when paired with the appropriate Hettich plate.
• Nickel finish on steel suits hardware schemes that call for a warm, polished metal tone.

A Reliable Closer for Full Overlay Doors

Full overlay doors cover the cabinet side from edge to edge, leaving only a narrow reveal between adjacent doors. This hinge is built specifically for that geometry: the straight arm places the door at a full overlay position, and the self-close spring draws it shut whenever it swings within a few degrees of closed. That spring action is what keeps a door latched through daily use without requiring a separate magnetic catch.

The 35mm cup bores into the back of the door at a 12.8mm depth, and the arm connects to a Hettich base plate mounted to the cabinet side or face frame. The plate is sold separately. Use Hettich plates; plates are brand-specific and a plate from another brand will not connect to this hinge. Depth and side adjustments let you bring doors into alignment after the cabinet is set.

Nickel Finish and Sensys Construction

The hinge is plated steel in a nickel finish. Nickel sits in a warm register between chrome and satin brass, which makes it a natural fit for hardware suites that lean traditional or transitional. Because this is a concealed hinge it is hidden when the door is closed, but the finish is visible during installation and on glass-door and open-shelf applications where the arm can be seen at an angle.

Door thickness range is 15 to 24mm, slightly wider than the standard 16 to 22mm window, which gives the Sensys line a little more flexibility on thicker slab doors. The 45mm bore pattern is standard and will match most existing door boring in production frameless or face-frame shops.

Shops, Installers, and Renovators Running Full Overlay Work

This hinge suits cabinet shops producing full overlay frameless runs, contractors fitting face-frame kitchens and bath cabinets, and homeowners replacing worn-out hinges on existing full overlay doors. The toolless clip-on arm means a door goes on and comes off the plate fast, which matters when fitting a run of doors or making adjustments after the boxes are in place.

If the project calls for a damped, cushioned close rather than a spring-pull close, the Sensys line also offers integrated soft-close versions. This SKU is the self-close spring version. For doors outside the 15 to 24mm thickness range, select a hinge sized to match.
