Nickel Finish Sensys Hinge for Full Overlay Doors

The Hettich Sensys self-close hinge mounts full overlay doors on face-frame and frameless cabinets with a screw-on connection and a nickel finish that coordinates with brushed hardware throughout the build.

Key Features

• Self-close spring draws the door shut automatically over the last few degrees of travel.
• Full overlay straight arm positions the door to cover nearly the entire cabinet side, leaving a narrow reveal.
• 110 degree opening delivers the standard swing for everyday cabinet access.
• Screw-on mount fastens directly to the cabinet with no clip or tool-free system required.
• Works on face-frame and frameless cabinets when paired with a matching Hettich base plate, sold separately.
• Depth and side adjustment dials in door position after the cabinet is set and the hinges are mounted.

A Reliable Screw-On Connection on Either Cabinet Type

This hinge is designed for full overlay doors, where the door covers the cabinet side and leaves only a narrow reveal at the edges. The 35mm cup bores into the back of the door, and the arm screws to a Hettich base plate that mounts to the cabinet. Because the arm-to-plate connection is screw-on rather than clip-on, the hinge stays firmly fixed once fastened, an approach preferred in applications where tool-free removal is not a priority. The hinge works on both face-frame and frameless boxes. For face-frame cabinets, pair it with a face-frame mounting plate; for frameless, a Hettich wing or cross plate. Either way, the plate is a separate purchase and is Hettich-specific.

Steel Construction in a Nickel Finish

The hinge is steel with a nickel finish. That finish reads as a warm, mid-tone silver that sits alongside brushed nickel pulls, knobs, and other visible hardware without competing. The Sensys platform is Hettich's premium concealed line, and the build reflects that: consistent adjustment range, a door-thickness window of 15 to 24mm that covers standard through slightly thicker doors, and tolerances that hold alignment across a full run of cabinets.

Where This Hinge Fits the Job

Cabinet shops running frameless production boxes and contractors fitting face-frame kitchens both reach for this hinge when the finish spec calls for nickel and the closing type is a spring self-close rather than a damped soft-close. It suits new installs and specification-driven replacement work on Hettich Sensys systems, where the same plate family serves both the value Intermat line and this premium Sensys hinge. If the job calls for a cushioned, damped close instead of a spring pull, the Sensys soft-close version is the right pick. For doors outside the 15 to 24mm thickness window, a different hinge series is needed.
