Nickel Sensys Concealed Hinge for Full Overlay Doors

The Hettich Sensys hinge brings Silent System soft-close and toolless mounting to full overlay doors on both face-frame and frameless cabinets, finished in Nickel for a clean, lasting look in any installation.

Key Features

• Silent System soft-close damps the door over the final closing arc so it settles without slamming.
• 110 degree opening angle delivers standard everyday swing for full cabinet access.
• Full overlay straight arm positions the door to cover nearly the entire cabinet side with a narrow, consistent reveal.
• Toolless arm engagement clips the hinge to the base plate without a screwdriver, speeding door hanging and removal.
• Works on face-frame and frameless cabinets when paired with the matching Hettich base plate.
• Nickel finish on steel holds up to daily use and coordinates with other Nickel hardware across the cabinet run.

Where This Hinge Does Its Work

Full overlay is the geometry where a single door covers nearly the whole cabinet side, leaving only a narrow gap at each edge. This hinge is built for that configuration on both frameless box cabinets and traditional face-frame construction. The 35mm cup bores into the back of the door, and the arm connects to a Hettich base plate mounted to the cabinet side or stile. That plate is a separate purchase, matched to your cabinet type and the overlay position you need. Because plates are Hettich-specific, use a Hettich plate to get the correct arm engagement and adjustment.

The door thickness window runs 15 to 24mm, which covers a wider range than the standard 16 to 22mm. Thinner engineered panels at the low end and slightly heavier solid wood doors at the upper end both fall within spec.

Nickel Finish and Sensys Build Quality

The hinge body is steel with a Nickel finish. In a run of cabinets where drawer slides, pulls, and knobs are already in Nickel, this hinge maintains a consistent metal tone on the one piece of hardware the eye catches when a door swings open. The Silent System damper is integrated directly into the Sensys hinge, so no add-on soft-close adapter is needed. Depth adjustment of plus 3 or minus 2mm and side adjustment of plus or minus 2mm let you dial in an even reveal across a full run of doors after the plates are set.

Who Reaches for This Hinge

Cabinet shops specifying a premium soft-close hinge for residential kitchens and bath work will find the Sensys a reliable production choice. The toolless clip-on arm is fast when hanging multiple doors in sequence, and the integrated Silent System means there are no separate dampers to buy, source, or run out of mid-job. Contractors finishing face-frame kitchens get the same hinge as a frameless shop, so one SKU works across mixed-construction projects. Designers specifying Nickel hardware throughout a kitchen can carry the finish into the hinge without a visible mismatch. For doors outside the 15 to 24mm thickness range, or for doors requiring an opening angle beyond 110 degrees, a different Sensys variant or series is the right path.

Quiet, Square Doors Across Every Cabinet in the Run

Specify the Sensys Nickel hinge when the project calls for full overlay doors that close without a sound, stay square across a long run, and match the Nickel finish carried through the rest of the hardware.
