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

This Hettich Sensys hinge brings integrated Silent System soft-close to half overlay cabinet doors on both face-frame and frameless boxes, mounted with pre-installed dowels for production-ready installation.

Key Features

• Silent System soft-close damps the door over the last degrees of closing so it settles without impact.
• Half overlay, half crank arm positions the door to cover the cabinet side partially, the geometry for two doors sharing a center partition.
• 110 degree opening delivers standard everyday cabinet access.
• Dowel mount presses the cup into pre-bored dowel holes for fast, screw-free door attachment.
• Works on face-frame and frameless cabinets when paired with the appropriate Hettich mounting plate.
• Depth and side adjustment dials in the door position after installation.

The Right Geometry for Shared Partitions

Half overlay is the configuration for two doors meeting on one center partition, where each door covers roughly half the shared divider. The half crank arm positions the door precisely at that partial overlap, keeping both doors clear of each other while maintaining a consistent reveal across the run. The 35mm cup presses into the door's bored hole using the hinge's pre-installed dowels, eliminating cup screws and speeding up production assembly. The arm then connects to a Hettich base plate on the cabinet, which is sold separately and matched to your cabinet construction. Plates are Hettich-specific; a cross plate from another brand will not connect to this hinge.

Sensys Build and Nickel Finish

The Sensys platform is Hettich's premium concealed line, built from steel with a nickel finish. That finish coordinates with nickel pulls, knobs, and other visible hardware on the same project, which matters on face-frame cabinets where the hinge is visible when a door swings open. Silent System soft-close is integrated directly into the hinge body, not an add-on damper, so the mechanism is consistent across every door without additional parts. Depth adjustment of plus 3 mm and minus 2 mm, and side adjustment of plus or minus 2 mm, let you bring doors to an even reveal after the cabinet is set.

Where This Hinge Belongs

Specify this hinge for face-frame or frameless cabinetry where the design calls for half overlay doors and a damped close. Cabinet shops running production lines benefit from the dowel mount, which drops into CNC-bored holes and cuts the time spent on cup screws. Remodelers replacing hinges in an existing layout with matching bore holes will find the 45mm bore pattern covers most standard pre-drilled cabinets. This hinge fits doors from 15 to 24mm thick, so it handles both standard and slightly thicker European-panel doors without a specialty hinge. For doors outside that range, a dedicated thick-door or thin-door hinge is the correct choice.
