Nickel Finish And Near-Flat Access on Full Overlay Doors

This Hettich Sensys concealed hinge hangs full overlay doors on face-frame and frameless cabinets, opening to 165 degrees with integrated Silent System soft-close and a nickel finish that holds its look across a full run of cabinetry.

Key Features

• 165 degree opening swings the door nearly flat alongside the cabinet for maximum interior access.
• Integrated Silent System soft-close damps the door through the final closing arc so it settles quietly without slamming.
• Full overlay straight arm covers the cabinet side wall to a narrow reveal.
• Toolless arm engagement clips the hinge to its base plate without a screwdriver for fast door hanging and removal.
• Nickel finish on steel construction coordinates with brushed hardware across kitchen, bath, and closet work.
• Wide door thickness range handles doors from 15 mm to 32 mm, covering thin cabinet fronts through solid hardwood slabs.

Where 165 Degrees Makes the Difference

A standard 110 degree hinge gives everyday access. At 165 degrees, the door swings nearly flush with the cabinet side, clearing the opening almost entirely. That matters in tight spots: a cabinet beside a wall, an appliance garage, a closet with limited clearance in front of it, or any box where reaching in past a door at mid-swing is the wrong answer. Paired with full overlay geometry, the door covers the cabinet side wall cleanly when closed and gets out of the way almost completely when open.

The 35mm cup bores into the back of the door and the hinge arm connects to a Hettich base plate mounted on the cabinet, ordered separately. The base plate is Hettich-specific and is not interchangeable with plates from other brands. Clip-on arm engagement means the door comes on and off the cabinet without tools once the plate is in place.

Steel, Nickel, and a Damped Close

The hinge body is steel with a nickel finish. On a long run of upper cabinets or a full kitchen build, finish consistency across hinges and pulls matters to the final result, and nickel reads cleanly against both warm wood tones and painted fronts. The Silent System soft-close is built into the hinge, not an add-on adapter, so every door in the run gets the same damped close without extra parts to source or install. The door thickness window runs from 15 mm to 32 mm, which covers thin melamine and MDF fronts as well as thick hardwood frame-and-panel doors on the same job.

Who Reaches for This Hinge

Cabinet shops running face-frame or frameless work, kitchen designers specifying hardware in nickel, and contractors finishing built-ins in tight spaces all have a reason to land here. The 165 degree opening is the call when a standard swing is not enough and a door that nearly disappears against the cabinet side is the better fit. For doors at standard depths and clearances where 110 degrees is plenty, a standard Sensys hinge covers the job. This one is for the applications where that extra swing matters.
