Nickel Angled Cabinet Hinge for Inset Doors on 45-Degree Cabinets

This Hettich Sensys hinge is built for inset doors on cabinets angled at 45 degrees outward, such as bay-style or diagonal-face cabinet runs, on both face-frame and frameless construction. Silent System soft-close is integrated directly into the hinge body.

Key Features

• +45 degree cabinet angle geometry positions the door correctly on an outward-angled cabinet face rather than a standard 90-degree box.
• Inset overlay sets the door flush inside the opening with an even reveal on all sides.
• Silent System soft-close damps the door over the final degrees of closing so it settles without impact.
• 95 degree opening angle provides the swing suited to an angled cabinet position where the door arc is constrained by the adjacent cabinet face.
• Works on face-frame and frameless cabinets with screw-on mounting to the base plate.
• Wide door thickness range accommodates doors from 15mm to 28mm.

The Right Hinge for an Outward-Angled Cabinet

A +45 degree cabinet is one whose face is angled outward from the wall run, the kind found in bay-style kitchen layouts, diagonal corner transitions, and angled furniture casework. A standard hinge cannot position an inset door correctly on that face. This hinge carries the arm geometry and cup placement engineered for exactly that angle, so the door sits flush within the opening and swings clear without binding the adjacent surface.

The 35mm cup bores into the back of the door at a 45mm bore pattern. The arm then connects to a base plate mounted on the cabinet, which is sold separately. Match a Hettich plate to your cabinet construction and door position. Plates are Hettich-specific; a plate from another brand will not engage this hinge.

Steel Construction and Integrated Soft-Close

The hinge is steel in a Nickel finish. Soft-close is built into the Sensys hinge body rather than added as a separate clip-on damper, so there are no extra parts to source or align. The Silent System mechanism absorbs the door's closing energy over the last arc of travel, which matters especially on inset doors where a slammed close works against the tight reveal the application depends on. Depth adjustment of plus 3mm or minus 2mm, and side adjustment of plus or minus 2mm, allow fine-tuning once the door is hung.

Who This Hinge Is For

This hinge suits cabinet makers, installers, and designers working on angled casework where inset doors are part of the design language. Bay kitchens and diagonal corner cabinets are the primary applications, but the same geometry applies to angled furniture and built-in pieces. It works on both face-frame and frameless boxes, and the 15mm to 28mm door thickness range covers standard solid wood, MDF, and most plywood door constructions without needing a specialty thick-door or thin-door hinge. For a standard 90-degree cabinet with inset doors, a non-angled Sensys inset hinge is the correct choice instead.

Precise Fit Where the Cabinet Takes a Turn

When the design calls for inset doors on an angled cabinet face, this hinge delivers the geometry, the soft-close performance, and the adjustment range to make that work cleanly and stay quiet over time.
