Silent System Angled Hinge for Inset Doors on Outward Bay Cabinets

This Hettich Sensys hinge is built for inset doors on cabinets angled outward at 45 degrees, combining the Sensys Silent System soft-close with toolless mounting on both face-frame and frameless boxes.

Key Features

• Integrated Silent System soft-close damps the door over the final closing arc so it settles without impact.
• +45 degree cabinet angle geometry positions the hinge correctly for outward bay and angled cabinet configurations.
• Inset overlay with full crank arm sets the door flush inside the opening with an even reveal on all sides.
• 95 degree opening angle delivers the controlled swing that lets an angled door clear its adjacent panels without collision.
• Toolless FIXFAST mounting snaps the hinge to the base plate without a screwdriver for fast door hanging and removal.
• Wide door thickness range suits doors from 15 mm to 28 mm, covering thin overlay panels through thicker slab fronts.

Where the Geometry Does the Work

Bay cabinets and angled corner units present a specific geometry problem: a standard straight-cabinet hinge cannot position an inset door correctly on a cabinet face that opens outward at 45 degrees. This hinge is built for exactly that condition. The +45 degree arm geometry seats the door flush inside an angled opening, and the 35mm cup bores into the back of the door on a standard 45mm bore pattern. The 95 degree opening is intentional, not a constraint — it is the swing that keeps an angled inset door from overshooting and contacting the adjacent cabinet or panel. The hinge mounts to a separate Hettich base plate, ordered apart from the hinge, which fastens to the cabinet side or face-frame stile.

Sensys Build and Silent Close

The Sensys line is Hettich's premium concealed platform, and the Silent System built into this hinge is that platform's defining feature: an integrated damper that slows the door through the final degrees of closing. On an angled inset door where the reveal is tight on all sides, that controlled close protects the fit over years of daily use. The hinge body is steel in a nickel finish, with depth adjustment of plus 3 mm and minus 2 mm and side adjustment of plus or minus 2 mm, so the reveal can be dialed in after the cabinet is set. The toolless FIXFAST arm engagement snaps onto the mounted base plate and releases again without tools, which keeps door hanging and re-hanging fast on a job with multiple angled units.

The Right Installer and the Right Cabinet

This hinge belongs on projects where the cabinet layout includes outward angled faces, such as a bay kitchen, a diagonal corner unit, or an angled accent cabinet, and where the design calls for inset doors rather than overlay. It works on both frameless and face-frame construction, so it fits production shops running 32mm system boxes and traditional shops building face-frame cabinetry alike. The 15 to 28 mm door thickness range covers most slab and frame-and-panel door stock used in these applications. Designers specifying an inset look on angled cabinets, cabinet shops building bay units at volume, and contractors installing custom corner pieces will all find this hinge ready for the condition. A matching Hettich base plate is required and sold separately; use Hettich plates only, as plates are brand-specific and will not interchange with other manufacturers.

Specify this hinge when the project combines an outward bay angle, an inset door, and a soft-close requirement, and the install needs to move fast on both frameless and face-frame boxes.
