Grass Tiomos Frameless 160° Self-Close Hinge - 3/8 in. Overlay - Single Door Kit

Frameless (Euro Style) Cabinet Application

The Grass Tiomos Frameless 160° Self-Close Hinge Kit is designed for full-access, European-style frameless cabinets. This single-door cabinet hinge kit combines a wide 160-degree opening angle with reliable self-closing action and precise three-dimensional adjustment, making it an excellent choice for cabinet doors requiring smooth operation, accurate alignment, and a clean appearance.

Designed for Frameless European-Style Cabinets

• Full-access cabinet design: Frameless cabinets have no face frame, allowing cabinet doors and drawers to attach directly to the cabinet box for improved access to the cabinet interior.
• Maximize cabinet access: The frameless construction provides a clean, modern appearance while helping maximize usable storage space compared with traditional face-frame cabinet construction.
• Wide cabinet door opening: The 160° Tiomos hinge allows the door to swing wide, providing excellent access to cabinet contents and making it well suited for applications where maximum door clearance is desired.
• Professional-quality construction: Frameless cabinet construction does not mean reduced quality. The Grass Tiomos hinge system is engineered for precise movement, dependable operation, and long-term cabinet performance.

Grass Tiomos 160° Self-Close Hinge Technology

Grass Tiomos is an innovative cabinet hinge concept engineered to deliver smooth operation and precise door alignment. Its advanced internal kinematics are concealed within the hinge, providing controlled movement while helping cabinet doors open easily and close reliably.

The self-close mechanism helps draw the cabinet door closed during the final portion of its movement, providing a positive closing action without requiring a separate external closing mechanism.

Built-In Kinematics for Smooth Cabinet Door Operation

• Advanced hinge kinematics: The complex internal mechanism is integrated into the Tiomos hinge, remaining hidden while coordinating the hinge's movement for smooth and controlled cabinet door operation.
• Easy door movement: Tiomos kinematics are designed to make cabinet doors easy to open while providing controlled movement throughout the opening and closing cycle.
• Precise alignment: The hinge's adjustment capabilities make it possible to achieve consistent door reveals and fine-tune cabinet door positioning.
• 160-degree opening: The wide-angle hinge design provides expanded access to the cabinet interior.

Three-Dimensional Cabinet Door Adjustment

The Grass Tiomos hinge system provides three-dimensional adjustment to simplify cabinet door installation and alignment. Fine adjustments can be made in depth, side-to-side positioning, and height for a professional finished appearance.

• Depth adjustment: +3/-2 mm - A continuous, self-locking adjustment is provided through the worm gear integrated into the hinge.
• Side adjustment: ±2 mm - Side-to-side cabinet door positioning is adjusted directly on the hinge arm.
• Height adjustment: ±2 mm - The mounting plate included with this kit provides height adjustment through its integrated worm gear.

3/8 in. Door Overlay Configuration

This Grass Tiomos 160° frameless hinge kit is configured for a 3/8 in. overlay. Actual door overlay is determined by the combination of the cabinet door cup-hole distance, hinge style, and mounting plate height.

• Cup-hole distance: This kit is based on a cup-hole distance between 4 and 6 mm (5/32 in. to 15/64 in.).
• Overlay configuration: The 3/8 in. overlay is achieved through the specified hinge and mounting plate combination based on the applicable cup-hole distance.
• Important: If your cup-hole distance falls outside the 4-6 mm range, contact McFeely's Technical Support to determine the correct Grass Tiomos hinge and mounting plate combination.

Door Thickness Compatibility

This Grass Tiomos hinge kit is designed for cabinet doors up to 24 mm (approximately 15/16 in.) thick. For cabinet doors thicker than 24 mm, contact McFeely's Technical Support for assistance selecting the appropriate hinge components.

Recommended Hinge Combination

For most cabinet doors, a combination of one soft-close hinge and one self-close hinge provides an optimal closing rate. Heavier cabinet doors should use two soft-close hinges for appropriate controlled closing performance.

Cup-Hole Distance Explained

Cup-hole distance is the measurement from the edge of the cabinet door to the closest edge of the 35 mm hinge cup hole. Correct cup-hole positioning is important for achieving the specified door overlay and ensuring the hinge and mounting plate combination performs as intended.
