Nickel Concealed Hinge for Half Overlay Doors on Face-Frame and Frameless Cabinets

This Hettich Sensys hinge brings Silent System soft-close and toolless mounting to half overlay doors on both face-frame and frameless cabinets, finished in nickel.

Key Features

• Silent System soft-close damps the door over the final degrees of closing so it lands quietly every time.
• Half overlay, half crank arm positions the door at a partial overlay, right for shared-partition cabinets and partial-overlay runs.
• 110 degree opening delivers standard everyday swing for full interior access.
• Toolless mounting lets the arm clip to the base plate without a screwdriver, speeding door installation and adjustment.
• Works on face-frame and frameless cabinets, so one SKU covers both construction types in a mixed job.
• Depth and side adjustment dials in the reveal after the cabinet is set.

Where This Hinge Belongs

Half overlay is the geometry for doors that cover part of the cabinet side rather than the whole thing, most often where two doors meet on a shared center partition, each overlapping by roughly half. This hinge is built for that application on either a frameless box or a face-frame cabinet. The 35mm cup bores into the back of the door, and the arm mounts to a Hettich base plate on the cabinet, purchased separately. Because the hinge works across both cabinet constructions, it stays consistent through a job that mixes frameless runs with face-frame sections.

Steel Build and a Nickel Finish

The hinge body is steel with a nickel finish. Nickel reads as a warm, mid-tone metallic that coordinates naturally with brushed hardware elsewhere in the space without demanding an exact match. The Silent System soft-close is integrated directly into the hinge, so there is no add-on damper to source or clip on separately. Depth adjustment of plus 3 mm and minus 2 mm, combined with plus or minus 2 mm of side adjustment, keeps doors sitting square and at an even reveal as the installation settles.

The Right Fit for This Work

Cabinet shops running partial-overlay kitchens, contractors installing face-frame cabinetry, and remodelers replacing hinges on an existing run will all find this hinge a direct fit. It suits standard doors from 15 to 24 mm thick, a range that covers most production and site-built doors. For doors thicker than 24 mm, move to a thick-door hinge. A Hettich cross plate pairs with this hinge for three-way adjustment on frameless cabinets; Hettich plates are brand-specific and not interchangeable with plates from other manufacturers.
