Thick Door Hinge For Inset Doors Up to 32mm

This Hettich Sensys thick door hinge mounts inset doors in the 15mm to 32mm range on both frameless and face-frame cabinets, with Silent System soft-close and dowel mounting built in.

Key Features

• Thick door range of 15 to 32mm accommodates doors well beyond the standard 16 to 22mm window, from thin panels to heavy slabs.
• Inset geometry positions the door flush inside the cabinet opening with an even reveal on all sides.
• Silent System soft-close damps the door over the final closing arc so it settles without slamming.
• 95 degree opening angle is the correct swing for thick doors that need clearance from the cabinet front without collision.
• Dowel mounting presses pre-mounted dowels into bored holes in the door for a screwless, CNC-friendly cup installation.
• Full crank arm carries the inset door position on a frameless or face-frame box.

Built for Thick Inset Doors

A standard concealed hinge is engineered for doors in the 16 to 22mm range. Push past 22mm and the geometry no longer seats correctly. This Sensys thick door hinge extends that range to 32mm, with a cup and arm designed so the door clears the cabinet front as it opens. The 95 degree opening angle is not a restriction here: it is the angle that lets a thick door swing clear without binding or hitting the face frame. The 35mm cup bores into the door at a 45mm bore pattern, and the arm connects to a Hettich base plate on the cabinet, ordered separately. Hettich plates are Hettich only and are not interchangeable with plates from other brands.

Sensys Build and Silent System Damping

The hinge body is steel in a nickel finish. Sensys is Hettich's premium concealed platform, and the Silent System soft-close is integrated directly into the hinge, so no add-on damper is needed. Three-way adjustment is available through the matching Hettich plate: depth adjusts plus 3mm and minus 2mm, and side adjusts plus or minus 2mm, enough to bring an inset door to an even reveal after install. Dowel mounting is the door-side connection: the pre-attached dowels press into the bored dowel holes, skipping the cup screws for a cleaner, faster CNC workflow.

Where This Hinge Belongs

Reach for this hinge on furniture-grade pieces, high-end built-ins, and cabinetry where thick panels are part of the design and the door needs to sit flush inside the opening. It suits shops running CNC lines where dowel-mount hinges fit the boring sequence, and contractors specifying inset work on face-frame or frameless boxes with doors outside the standard thickness band. For doors within the standard 16 to 22mm range, a standard Sensys inset hinge is the right pick. For a door thicker than 32mm, confirm the hinge series before ordering.
