1.5mm Side Adjustment Slotted Spacer

1.5mm Side Adjustment Slotted Spacer For Hinges

1.5mm side adjustment slotted spacer defines this Grass America hinge spacer as a thin, precise shim in the Hinge Spacers and Wedges class, so it fills the role of tightening side gaps without changing the basic hinge layout. The 1.5 mm (1/16 inch) thick profile sets a predictable offset, which helps you dial in consistent reveals from cabinet to cabinet using the same known increment. The slotted design referenced in the SAP description 860-076 1.5MM PLASTIC SPACE WITH SLOT allows the spacer to slide over a mounting interface rather than acting as a solid plate, which supports fine side positioning within the slot range. Being identified under Category Hinges|Hinge Accessories ties this piece directly to hinge-related adjustments, so it works as part of that hardware system instead of a general-purpose shim.

Spacer Details That Support Hinge Setup

• The 1.5 mm (1/16 inch) thick dimension establishes a fixed correction step, which helps installers correct small side offsets while staying within the adjustments available on Grass hinges.
• The plastic material called out in the SAP description defines the spacer as non-metal, which avoids metal-to-metal contact at the hinge mount and helps maintain a consistent bearing surface behind the hinge plate.
• The slotted configuration noted in the product description provides an open channel instead of a closed hole, which lets you shift the hinge position within the slot length before final tightening for better door alignment.
• The Grass America branding on this 1.5mm side adjustment slotted spacer links it to the Grass hinge system, which helps maintain a consistent component set when you are standardizing hinge accessories on a project.

Side Adjustment Spacer Use In Installation

The 1.5mm side adjustment slotted spacer sits in the hinge stack-up as a controlled shim, so it adds a 1.5 mm (1/16 inch) layer where the hinge or plate meets the mounting surface to refine side clearances. Because it is called a side adjustment spacer, its thickness acts in the horizontal direction along the cabinet run, which is where door-to-door and door-to-side reveals are most noticeable. The slotted geometry described in 860-076 1.5MM PLASTIC SPACE WITH SLOT lets the spacer travel slightly in line with the slot, so you can nudge the hinge position side-to-side within that range before locking it down. As a Grass America hinge accessory, it fits into workflows that are already built around Grass components, which streamlines repeat cabinet runs.

How This Grass Hinge Spacer Works On Jobs

Where This 1.5mm Spacer Fits In Hinge Runs

The Category Hinges|Hinge Accessories places this 1.5mm side adjustment slotted spacer directly alongside the hinge, so it is used at the hinge mounting interface rather than elsewhere in the cabinet. The Product Class Hinge Spacers and Wedges identifies it as part of the stack that sets hinge stand-off, which affects how far the hinge sits from the cabinet side or frame. Because the Web Description specifies 1.5 mm (1/16 inch) thick, you get a small, known change to that stand-off, allowing you to build a series of cabinets with the same offset wherever the spacer is used. The plastic construction documented in the SAP description 860-076 1.5MM PLASTIC SPACE WITH SLOT means it behaves like a stable shim between rigid parts, helping maintain the intended geometry once the hinge screws are tightened.

Why The Slotted Plastic Design Helps Alignment

The phrase 1.5MM PLASTIC SPACE WITH SLOT in the SAP description defines both the material and the open slot feature, so you are working with a plastic shim that has a formed channel rather than fixed round holes. That slot lets the hinge or plate move along the slot axis during setup, which creates a small band of lateral adjustment beyond what the hinge adjustment screws alone provide. The 1.5 mm (1/16 inch) thickness gives each spacer a repeatable impact on door position, so stacking or omitting spacers changes side clearance in predictable steps on long cabinet lines. As a Grass America hinge accessory, this spacer keeps hinge-related fine-tuning inside a defined system of parts, which supports consistent alignment practices across many doors and jobs.

Common Questions About This Grass Spacer

Selecting This Spacer For Hinge Alignment

The 1.5mm side adjustment slotted spacer from Grass America combines a 1.5 mm (1/16 inch) thick profile with a slotted plastic body, so it offers controlled side correction at the hinge mount. With its role defined as a Hinge Spacers and Wedges component in the Hinges|Hinge Accessories category, it fits naturally into Grass-based hinge layouts where side reveals matter. For projects that benefit from repeatable, small-interval stand-off adjustments using a Grass hinge accessory, this spacer provides a clearly identified option through part number 00047-42.
