Hettich Sensys 165 Degree Hinge For Wide Access

Hettich Sensys 165 degree hinge gives a wide opening angle so doors swing well clear of the cabinet front, which supports easy access to stored items and smoother work at the cabinet. Sensys hinges from Hettich are a zero protusion concealed hinge, so the door opens without the hinge arm projecting into the interior, helping drawers or pull-outs move freely behind the door. This product is a concealed cabinet hinge in the European standard hinge family, which lets the hinge sit inside a 35 mm cup for a clean exterior and consistent drilling patterns. The hinge is a Sensys wide angle hinge with self-close function, so the hinge pulls the door shut over the final part of travel, helping doors seat consistently against the face frame or cabinet side. The hinge is made from steel nickel plated, which provides a hard metal construction with a nickel finish suited to typical cabinet environments.

Key Sensys Wide Angle Hinge Details In Use

• This concealed cabinet hinge is a Sensys wide angle hinge with zero protrusion, so the open door does not invade the cabinet interior and this helps drawers or organizers operate without interference.
• The hinge has a wide automatic closing angle of 35 degrees, so from that point the hinge takes over to pull the door shut and this reduces the effort needed on every close.
• The hinge uses a temperature stable damper in the temperature range 41 F to 104 F (5 C to 40 C), so the closing function works consistently across common indoor temperatures in workshops, kitchens, or storage spaces.
• For door thickness 15-32 mm, this hinge covers a broad range of cabinet door constructions, allowing use on thin doors and heavier doors within that band.
• The cup depth of 11.6 mm defines the boring depth in the door, which supports accurate drilling setup and consistent seating of the hinge cup across a run of doors.

Mounting And Sensys Hinge Adjustment Details

This Hettich Sensys self-close half overlay hinge uses integrated overlay adjustment of plus 2 mm and minus 2 mm, so the door position over the face frame or cabinet side can be shifted laterally without redrilling. Integrated depth adjustment of plus 3 mm and minus 2 mm lets the installer move the door closer to or farther from the cabinet, which helps fine-tune the reveal and door compression. Height adjustment is at the mounting plate, so vertical movement is handled where the hinge meets the cabinet and this supports aligning multiple doors in a straight line. The hinge is classified to quality classification under EN 15570, Level 3, which identifies a tested performance level within that standard for long arm European hinges.

Using This Concealed Cabinet Hinge On Projects

Where This Sensys 165 Degree Hinge Fits Best

This product is a Hettich Sensys self-close half overlay hinge for face-frame or frameless applications, so it suits cabinets built around European concealed hinge drilling with half overlay layouts. Sensys hinges from Hettich are a zero protusion concealed hinge, which is useful on cabinets where internal drawers or pull-out trays operate behind the door opening. The hinge offers a wide opening angle of 165 degrees, so doors can open back toward the cabinet side and expose more of the interior for access to stored contents or hardware being serviced. For door thickness 15-32 mm, the hinge can be used on medium-thickness slab doors or thicker doors within that thickness range, fitting many common cabinet door builds. The cup depth of 11.6 mm defines the hinge cup bore, so the door edge can be engineered to maintain enough material behind the cup while still allowing the required drilling depth.

Why Sensys Adjustments Support Clean Door Alignment

The integrated overlay adjustment of plus 2 mm and minus 2 mm on this Sensys wide angle hinge lets the door shift sideways on the cabinet, which helps create even gaps between adjacent doors and consistent reveals around the opening. Integrated depth adjustment of plus 3 mm and minus 2 mm allows the hinge to move the door in and out relative to the cabinet, helping dial in how firmly the door seats on seals or stops while keeping handles aligned. Height adjustment at the mounting plate separates vertical movement from other settings, so an installer can use the plate position to run a straight top line across a bank of doors and then refine overlay and depth at the hinge. The self-close function works with the wide automatic closing angle of 35 degrees, so once the door passes that point the hinge guides it home, which contributes to a consistent feel across all doors using this hardware.
