45-Degree Cabinet Angle and Silent Soft-Close in One Hinge

This Hettich Sensys hinge is built for angled cabinet openings at a positive 45-degree cabinet angle, bringing integrated Silent System soft-close to both frameless and face-frame builds where a standard straight-hung door will not fit.

Key Features

• +45-degree cabinet angle geometry fits outward-angled cabinet openings where a standard hinge cannot seat correctly.
• Integrated Silent System soft-close damps the door over the final closing arc so it settles quietly without slamming.
• Inset overlay positions the door flush inside the cabinet opening with an even reveal on all sides.
• 95-degree opening angle delivers the correct swing clearance for an angled, inset-door application.
• Works on both frameless and face-frame cabinets with screw-on mounting to the base plate.
• Wide door-thickness window of 15 to 28mm accommodates standard doors and thicker custom panels alike.

Where Angled Cabinets and Inset Doors Meet

Angled corner cabinets, bay configurations, and diagonal filler pieces present a geometry problem that a standard concealed hinge cannot solve. This Sensys hinge is built specifically for a +45-degree cabinet angle, so the door sits square in an opening that faces outward on the diagonal. At the same time, inset overlay means the door panel tucks inside the opening rather than riding over the face, which demands precise hinge positioning and reliable repeat performance.

The full-crank arm carries the inset door position, and the 35mm cup bores into the back of the door using the standard 45mm bore pattern. The hinge arm connects to a Hettich base plate that mounts to the cabinet, ordered separately. Hettich plates are specific to the Sensys series, so confirm plate compatibility within the Hettich line for your cabinet construction before ordering.

Steel Build with a Nickel Finish and Precise Adjustment

The hinge is plated steel in a nickel finish. The adjustment range — 3mm of depth gain and 2mm of depth reduction, plus 2mm of side travel in either direction — gives the installer enough room to bring an inset door to an even reveal after the cabinet is set. That matters more on angled work than on a straight run, because the sight lines on a diagonal opening amplify any misalignment that a square cabinet might hide.

Silent System soft-close is integrated into the hinge body, not added on, so no separate damper is needed and the closing feel is consistent across the door's life. For an inset door on a specialty angle, that consistency protects the tight fit the design depends on.

The Right Hinge for Specialty Angle Casework

This hinge suits cabinet shops, commercial millwork teams, and finish carpenters working on diagonal corner builds, angled islands, and any project where the cabinet opening is not a standard 90-degree box. It fits doors from 15 to 28mm thick, which covers everything from standard 16mm frameless panels to thicker face-frame or furniture-grade door stock.

For straight-hanging doors on the same project, the rest of the Sensys family covers full overlay, half overlay, and inset at standard cabinet angles, keeping the same soft-close feel and adjustment system across the run.
