Thick Door Hinge For Full Overlay Doors Up to 32mm

The Hettich Sensys is a concealed thick door hinge built for full overlay doors from 15mm to 32mm thick, with integrated Silent System soft-close and dowel mounting, for use on both face-frame and frameless cabinets.

Key Features

• Thick door geometry handles doors from 15mm to 32mm, well beyond the standard concealed hinge range.
• 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 a narrow reveal.
• Dowel mounting presses the cup into pre-bored dowel holes for a fast, precise CNC-ready install.
• 95 degree opening angle is the engineered clearance that lets a thick door swing open without binding against the cabinet front.
• Works on face-frame and frameless cabinets when paired with the appropriate Hettich mounting plate, sold separately.

Built for Doors Standard Hinges Cannot Handle

A standard concealed hinge is designed for doors in the 16 to 22mm range. Once a door goes thicker, whether solid hardwood, double-panel construction, or a layered slab, the standard cup geometry stops working. The Sensys thick door hinge extends that window to 32mm, using a modified arm and cup profile sized to the added door mass. The 35mm cup bores into the door and the arm connects to a Hettich base plate mounted to the cabinet, ordered separately. That plate is Hettich-specific and should be matched to your cabinet construction and the Sensys series.

The 95 degree opening angle is intentional here, not a shortcoming. A thick door needs that controlled swing to clear the cabinet front without collision. For an application where full 110-degree access matters more than door thickness, a standard Sensys hinge is the right move instead.

Steel Build With a Quiet Close

The hinge is plated steel in a nickel finish. Hettich's Silent System soft-close is integrated into the hinge body, meaning no add-on damper is needed. The mechanism slows the door through the final degrees of travel so the close is absorbed rather than slammed. Depth and side adjustment let you fine-tune door position after the cabinet is set: 3mm forward or 2mm back on depth, and 2mm in either direction on side.

Where This Hinge Belongs

This hinge is the right call for cabinet shops and millwork operations building with solid wood doors, thick applied panels, or any construction that pushes door thickness past the standard 22mm ceiling. It suits both frameless and face-frame boxes, so it covers a wide range of project types in one SKU. Designers specifying premium cabinetry with weighty door profiles will find the silent close and the full overlay geometry worth calling out in the spec.

Dowel mounting makes it a natural fit for CNC production lines where the door is bored on the machine and the hinge presses in without cup screws. For shops working without a dowel boring setup, check whether a screw-on cup version of this series fits the workflow better.

Quiet Close, Clean Reveal, on the Doors That Need It Most

Specify this hinge when thick, substantial doors need the same quiet, square close as a standard cabinet, without compromise on overlay or finish quality.
