Hettich Sensys Concealed Hinge for Wide-Swing Full Overlay Doors

This Hettich Sensys hinge opens full overlay doors to 165 degrees with integrated Silent System soft-close, on both face-frame and frameless cabinets, using a dowel-mounted cup for CNC and production environments.

Key Features

• 165 degree opening swings the door nearly flat to the cabinet side for wide, unobstructed access.
• Integrated Silent System soft-close damps the door over the final closing arc so it settles without impact.
• Full overlay straight arm covers nearly the entire cabinet side, leaving a narrow reveal.
• Dowel mount cup presses into bored dowel holes for a fast, screw-free door-side installation suited to CNC production.
• Works on both face-frame and frameless cabinets when paired with the matching Hettich plate, sold separately.
• Nickel finish on steel construction for a neutral, durable appearance.

Wide Swing Access Without Compromising the Close

A 165 degree opening sets this hinge apart from the standard 110 degree range. Where a standard swing limits access to about two-thirds of the cabinet interior, this hinge lets the door travel nearly parallel to the cabinet side, clearing the full opening. That matters in pantry pulls, tall utility cabinets, and any run where the door would otherwise obstruct reaching into a corner or across a shelf. The 35mm cup bores into the door, and the dowel mount presses in without cup screws, so the door side goes together quickly at the CNC or boring station. A separate Hettich base plate mounts to the cabinet and receives the hinge arm; the plate is ordered separately and must be matched to the Hettich Sensys series.

Steel, Nickel, and the Sensys Silent System

The hinge body is steel finished in nickel, a tone that reads neutrally on both painted and natural-wood interiors without drawing attention to the hardware. The Sensys Silent System soft-close is built into the hinge arm rather than added on, so there is no separate damper to clip or adjust. It slows the door over the last degrees of travel, protecting both the door face and the cabinet box from daily impact. The door thickness window runs from 15mm to 32mm, broader than a standard hinge, which gives this hinge room to serve both lighter frameless panels and heavier face-frame doors on the same job.

Where This Hinge Belongs

The 165 degree opening is the right call for tall pantry cabinets, full-height utility storage, and any application where the door needs to clear completely out of the way. The dowel cup is a natural fit for cabinet shops running CNC boring lines, where pressing dowels is faster than driving cup screws one at a time. It works equally on face-frame and frameless construction, so shops building mixed cabinet types can stock one hinge for both. For doors that stay within the standard 110 degree range, a non-wide-angle Sensys hinge covers that application at a lower price point.
