Nickel Finish and Quiet Performance for Full Overlay Doors

The Hettich Sensys concealed hinge brings full overlay geometry and Silent System soft-close to both face-frame and frameless cabinets, finished in nickel and mounted via dowel for CNC-ready production installs.

Key Features

• Silent System soft-close damps the door through the final degrees of travel so it settles quietly without slamming.
• Full overlay straight arm positions the door to cover nearly the entire cabinet side, leaving a narrow reveal.
• 110 degree opening angle delivers standard everyday swing for kitchen, bath, and casework doors.
• Dowel mount cup presses into pre-bored door holes for fast, screw-free door-side installation in production settings.
• Nickel finish on steel offers a clean, neutral tone that coordinates with brushed metal hardware across a cabinet run.
• Three-way adjustment provides depth and side movement at the hinge for door alignment after install.

Where This Hinge Does Its Work

This Sensys hinge is sized for doors from 10 to 19mm thick, covering standard panels in frameless box construction and face-frame builds alike. On a frameless cabinet it mounts to a separate Hettich base plate fixed to the side panel. On a face-frame cabinet, a Hettich face-frame plate or cross plate at the stile brings the same hinge into play. The 35mm cup bores into the door back at a 45mm spacing, and the dowel mount means no cup screws on the door side: the cup presses directly into the CNC-bored holes for a fast, repeatable cycle in production shops. A compatible Hettich base plate is required and sold separately.

Nickel Finish, Steel Build, Sensys Precision

The hinge body is steel with a nickel finish that reads as a warm neutral, sitting comfortably alongside satin nickel pulls, stainless appliances, and most metal tones in a contemporary or transitional kitchen. Nickel here is not a passive choice: in a run where hardware finishes are coordinated, a nickel hinge arm visible on a glass door or in an open-frame section carries the same tone as the rest of the hardware. The Sensys platform underpins the finish with three-way adjustability and Silent System damping that is built directly into the hinge body, so there is nothing added on and nothing to come loose over time.

The Right Fit for Production and Specification Work

Cabinet shops running CNC equipment will find the dowel mount speeds the door-side prep: bore the holes, press the cup in, and move on. No cup screws to drive per door. Designers specifying a coordinated hardware finish across a project can call out nickel on the hinge to match pulls and knobs from the same finish family. Contractors installing face-frame and frameless boxes on the same job can run a single Sensys hinge across both cabinet types when paired with the appropriate Hettich plate. For doors outside the 10 to 19mm range, a different hinge is the right call.

Common Questions

Coordinated Finish, Consistent Close, Clean Install

Specify this hinge when the project calls for full overlay doors that close quietly, a nickel finish that ties into the broader hardware spec, and a dowel-mount cup that keeps production moving.
