Nickel Concealed Hinge for Flush Inset Doors on Face-Frame and Frameless Cabinets

This Hettich Sensys hinge hangs inset doors that sit flush inside the cabinet opening, with a self-close spring and screw-on mounting, on both face-frame and frameless cabinets. It finishes in nickel, coordinating cleanly with visible hardware in the same room.

Key Features

• Inset geometry positions the door flush within the opening, creating an even reveal on all sides.
• Self-close spring pulls the door shut over the last few degrees of travel.
• 110 degree opening gives standard everyday swing for inset cabinet doors.
• Screw-on mounting fastens directly to the cabinet with wood screws, no system holes required.
• Full crank arm carries the inset door position relative to the cabinet side.
• Nickel finish on steel pairs with drawer pulls, knobs, and other hardware in a matching metal tone.

Flush Inset Doors on Either Cabinet Construction

An inset door sits inside the cabinet opening rather than overlapping the front face, and it shows a tight, even reveal on every edge when closed. This hinge provides the full crank geometry that lets the door swing clear of the opening without binding. The 35mm cup bores into the door back, and the hinge arm screws to a Hettich base plate on the cabinet, ordered separately. Because this is a screw-on hinge, it goes straight to the cabinet with wood screws and does not depend on pre-drilled 5mm system holes, which makes it a solid choice for both production frameless boxes and traditional face-frame cases where system holes are absent.

Steel Build in a Nickel Finish That Holds Its Look

The hinge body is steel with a nickel finish. Nickel is the right call when the rest of the kitchen or bath hardware runs in brushed or satin metal tones and a matte black or chrome hinge would stand out against the visible pulls and knobs. Because this hinge mounts to a Hettich base plate, pairs with Hettich plates only; the plate mounting pattern and arm engagement are brand-specific and will not transfer to another brand's system. Depth and side adjustment let you bring inset doors to a consistent reveal after the cabinet is in place, which matters on flush work where any gap irregularity is visible.

Who Reaches for This Hinge

Cabinet shops and contractors specifying inset work on face-frame cabinetry will find the screw-on mount practical: no line-boring required on the cabinet side, and the installation follows a familiar wood-screw sequence. It suits frameless boxes equally well when the preference is a screw-fastened plate over a tool-free Euro-screw or INSERTA-style mount. Designers specifying nickel hardware throughout a project can carry the finish through the concealed hinge for a consistent specification. This hinge is built for standard doors in the 15 to 24mm thickness range. For doors over 24mm, a thick-door hinge is the correct pick.
