Nickel Sensys Hinge With Silent System Soft-Close for Full Overlay Doors

The Hettich Sensys hinge brings integrated Silent System soft-close to full overlay doors on face-frame and frameless cabinets, finished in nickel and mounted with standard screws.

Key Features

• Integrated Silent System soft-close damps the door through 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, even reveal.
• 110 degree opening delivers standard everyday swing for kitchen, bath, and casework doors.
• Screw-on mounting fastens directly to the cabinet with wood screws, no system holes required.
• Works on face-frame and frameless cabinets when paired with the appropriate Hettich base plate, sold separately.
• Nickel finish on steel blends cleanly with other nickel hardware in the run.

Where This Hinge Does Its Work

This is a full overlay hinge, meaning the door covers nearly the whole cabinet side and leaves only a narrow gap between adjacent doors. That geometry suits the majority of modern kitchen and bath cabinets, as well as built-ins and closet work where a clean, tight face is part of the design intent. It fits both face-frame construction, where the hinge mounts to the stile, and frameless box construction, where it mounts directly to the side panel, so it moves across a mixed job without a swap.

The 35mm cup bores into the back of the door, and the arm connects to a Hettich base plate on the cabinet. The base plate is sold separately and must be a Hettich plate matched to this hinge. Plates from other brands will not connect to the Sensys arm, and Hettich plates are not interchangeable across brands. For screw-on mounting, the plate fastens to the cabinet with standard wood screws, so this hinge is at home on any cabinet box, whether or not it carries pre-drilled system holes.

Silent System Build and Nickel Finish

Sensys is Hettich's premium concealed hinge line, and Silent System is its name for the integrated damping mechanism. The soft-close is built into the hinge body, not an add-on clip, so there is nothing extra to source or snap on after the fact. The hinge is steel with a nickel finish. Nickel is a practical finish choice on a working hinge: it pairs naturally with brushed or satin nickel pulls and knobs already specified for the job, and it holds up in the repetitive-use environment of a cabinet interior. Depth adjustment of plus 3 mm and minus 2 mm, and side adjustment of plus or minus 2 mm, means doors can be dialed to an even reveal after installation without removing the door.

A Good Fit For

Cabinet shops building face-frame kitchens will find this hinge straightforward to run: screw-on mounting does not require a system-hole boring setup, and Sensys is a line most finish carpenters and installers recognize. Designers specifying nickel hardware throughout a project can call this hinge with confidence that the finish coordinates. Remodelers replacing older concealed hinges on face-frame boxes will appreciate the screw-on plate, which drops into existing screw locations without additional drilling.

This hinge is sized for doors from 10 mm to 19 mm thick. That lower end is notably thinner than the standard 16 mm floor, which makes it a practical choice for thinner overlay frames and furniture-grade doors where a standard hinge would risk boring through. For doors over 19 mm, a thick-door hinge is the right selection.

Quiet Doors, Clean Finish, No Extra Hardware to Source

Specify this hinge when the job calls for full overlay doors that close without a sound, a nickel finish that coordinates with the rest of the hardware, and a screw-on plate that works on any cabinet box.
