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

The Hettich Sensys concealed hinge brings Silent System soft-close to half overlay doors on both face-frame and frameless cabinets, mounted with a straightforward screw-on connection and finished in nickel.

Key Features

• Integrated Silent System soft-close damps the door over the final closing arc so it settles quietly without slamming.
• Half overlay, half crank arm positions each door to overlap the cabinet side partially, the geometry for two doors sharing a single partition.
• 110 degree opening angle provides standard everyday access on cabinet doors.
• Screw-on mounting fastens the hinge securely to the cabinet with wood screws, no system holes required.
• Works on face-frame and frameless cabinets when paired with the appropriate Hettich base plate, ordered separately.
• Nickel finish on steel coordinates with brushed and satin metal hardware across a range of cabinet styles.

Placing Two Doors on a Shared Partition

Half overlay is the configuration where each door of a pair covers roughly half the cabinet side, meeting the center partition at a shared reveal. The half crank arm on this hinge sets that position precisely, so two doors hang side by side without the arms colliding. It works the same way on frameless box cabinets and on face-frame cabinets where the door mounts to the stile. The 35mm cup bores into the back of the door, and the arm connects to a Hettich base plate fastened to the cabinet, sold separately. Screw-on mounting means the plate goes in with wood screws, making this a solid choice for any cabinet that does not have pre-drilled 5mm system holes.

Steel Construction With a Finish That Blends In

The hinge body is steel, finished in nickel. In a half overlay installation the hinge is hidden when the door is closed, so the nickel finish is most visible during installation and adjustment. It coordinates cleanly with satin and brushed nickel pulls, knobs, and other cabinet hardware without demanding an exact match. The Silent System soft-close mechanism is built into the hinge itself, so no separate damper or adapter is needed. Depth adjustment of plus 3mm to minus 2mm and side adjustment of plus or minus 2mm let you bring doors to an even reveal after the cabinet is assembled.

A Good Fit for Production and Renovation Work

This hinge suits cabinet shops building runs of face-frame or frameless cabinets where half overlay is the specified door configuration, and contractors retrofitting or replacing hinges on existing boxes. Screw-on mounting keeps the install straightforward on both new work and existing cabinets without system holes. Door thickness from 15mm to 24mm covers most standard production doors, including slightly thinner panels and modestly thick fronts that fall outside the standard 16 to 22mm range. A Hettich base plate matched to your cabinet construction is required to complete the install. For a project mixing half overlay and full overlay doors, pair this hinge with the full overlay Sensys in the same finish to keep hardware consistent across the run.
