Nickel Concealed Hinge Built for Wide-Swing Full Overlay Doors

This Hettich Sensys hinge brings Silent System soft-close and a 165 degree opening arc to full overlay doors on both face-frame and frameless cabinets, finished in nickel.

Key Features

• 165 degree opening swings the door almost completely clear of the cabinet opening for near-unobstructed access.
• Silent System soft-close damps the door over the final closing arc so it settles quietly without slamming.
• Full overlay straight arm positions the door to cover nearly the entire cabinet side, leaving only a narrow reveal.
• Screw-on mounting fastens directly to the cabinet with wood screws for a solid, fixed connection.
• Face-frame and frameless compatibility makes this hinge work across both cabinet constructions.
• Extended door thickness range accommodates doors from 15mm to 32mm, covering thin veneered panels through solid thick-door stock.

Where 165 Degrees Changes the Job

Most concealed hinges open to 110 degrees, which handles everyday kitchen access well. When the design puts a cabinet beside a wall, a tall appliance, or an adjacent column, that standard swing either stops short or clips the obstruction. At 165 degrees, this hinge lays the door nearly flat, clearing the opening edge and giving clean access to the full interior. It is the right call for base cabinets installed at the end of a run, wall cabinets beside a refrigerator column, or any case where furniture placement limits how far a standard door can swing.

The 35mm cup bores into the back of the door in the standard pattern. The hinge then screws to a matching Hettich base plate on the cabinet, which is sold separately. Because the plate is brand-specific, pair this hinge with Hettich plates only.

Nickel Finish and Sensys Construction

The steel body carries a nickel finish that coordinates with brushed and satin hardware across a kitchen or bath without drawing attention to the hinge itself. Once the door is closed, the mechanism is hidden. Sensys is Hettich's premium concealed platform, and the Silent System soft-close is integrated directly into the hinge body rather than added on as a separate component. That matters in cabinets that see daily traffic: the damping is always there, and there is no add-on part to come loose over time.

Right for Frameless and Face-Frame Work

This hinge installs on both frameless box construction and face-frame cabinets, so it moves between job types without a substitution. The screw-on mounting suits shops and contractors who prefer a mechanically fixed connection over a tool-free press-in, and it works on cabinets without pre-drilled 5mm system holes. The extended thickness range, 15mm to 32mm, covers a wide spread of door stock from lightweight veneer panels to heavy solid-wood doors that would exceed the window of a standard hinge.

For designers specifying full overlay on a run with a tight end-panel clearance, the 165 degree arc is the spec that makes the layout work. For cabinet shops running mixed construction, the dual face-frame and frameless rating keeps one SKU on the shelf instead of two.
