Hettich Sensys Soft-Close Hinge For Angled Doors
Hettich Sensys soft-close hinge gives you a concealed overlay solution for 45 degree angled cabinet doors, so you can handle face frame or frameless layouts while keeping hardware hidden and motion controlled. The hinge opens to 95 degrees, which provides normal cabinet access while respecting angled front geometry on corner cabinets or specialty runs. Zero protrusion design keeps the door and hinge from projecting into the cabinet interior when opened, which protects pullouts and interior fittings in tight storage plans. The integrated Silent System uses a damper built into the hinge, so door closing is controlled directly at the pivot point for consistent movement. This hinge belongs to the concealed cabinet hinge class, which supports clean front aesthetics on finished installations. Steel nickel plated construction gives the hinge a hard wearing surface and neutral appearance that coordinates with most interior hardware finishes.
Key Sensys Hinge Details For Daily Use
- The wide automatic closing angle of 35 degrees starts pulling the door in early, which helps doors close reliably from a partially open position during everyday use.
- The temperature stable damper is specified for 41 F to 104 F, so soft-close performance remains consistent in typical residential and commercial cabinet environments.
- Silent System soft-close function is integrated into the hinge, which reduces separate component count and keeps the damping action aligned directly with hinge movement.
- The hinge supports door thickness from 15 mm to 28 mm, which covers a common range from lighter doors to heavier fronts used in many cabinet constructions.
- A cup depth of 12.8 mm lets the hinge seat securely in the door, which supports stable mounting and helps maintain alignment over repeated openings.
Installation Adjustments For Accurate Hinge Fit
Integrated overlay adjustment of plus 2 mm to minus 2 mm lets you shift the door position laterally at the hinge, which is useful for dialing in gaps between adjacent doors on runs with angled fronts. Integrated depth adjustment of plus 3 mm to minus 2 mm lets you move the door in and out relative to the cabinet front, which supports fine-tuning reveal and flush conditions without remounting the cup. Height adjustment is provided at the mounting plate, so you can move the door up or down along the cabinet side or frame to align top and bottom edges across a bank of doors. These adjustment ranges work together to let you correct minor drilling or layout variance on site while still bringing the door into clean alignment. The dowel version of this hinge locates in the specified boring pattern, which provides repeatable positioning during production or field retrofits.
Using This Zero Protrusion Hinge In Cabinet Work
Where This 45 Degree Overlay Hinge Performs
This Sensys 95 degree hinge is designed as an overlay solution for 45 degree applications on face frame or frameless cabinets, so it fits angled cabinet runs where doors meet at a mitered or faceted front. Zero protrusion design means that when the 95 degree opening angle is reached, the hinge arm and door stay clear of the interior, which protects internal drawers, pullouts, or organizers installed close to the front. Being part of the European concealed long arm hinge family, it suits projects that call for a flush exterior with fully hidden hinges, such as kitchens, baths, or commercial casework. The soft-close Silent System in the hinge supports quieter cabinet operation in these spaces, which can be important in multi-user environments or open-plan layouts.
Adjustment Features That Support Consistent Results
Integrated overlay adjustment from plus 2 mm to minus 2 mm lets installers or shop crews trim door spacing side to side, which is especially useful when aligning multiple angled doors across a corner section. Depth adjustment of plus 3 mm to minus 2 mm makes it possible to refine how far the door sits from the cabinet front, so reveals along adjacent panels can be matched even when carcass construction varies slightly. Height adjustment at the mounting plate adds a vertical correction path, which helps bring rails and stile lines into register across neighboring cabinets. The temperature stable damper, specified from 41 F to 104 F, supports predictable soft-close action across a normal range of room conditions, so hinge adjustments do not have to compensate for changing damping behavior. Quality classification under EN 15570, Level 3, identifies the hinge as tested to that European concealed hinge standard, which signals that the combination of adjustments, opening angle, and soft-close function is engineered for cabinet service. The nickel plated steel material contributes to hinge rigidity and wear resistance as doors are repeatedly opened and closed in daily use.
