Grass Tiomos FL - 160 Deg., Self-Close, Inset - Single Door Kit

Grass Tiomos Frameless 160° Self-Close Inset Hinge - Single Door Kit

Frameless (Euro Style) Cabinet Application

The Grass Tiomos Frameless 160° Self-Close Inset Hinge Kit is designed for frameless, full-access European-style cabinets with inset doors. This complete single-door hinge kit takes the guesswork out of selecting the correct Grass Tiomos hinge and mounting plate combination, providing precise adjustment, smooth operation, and reliable self-closing performance.

Frameless European-Style Cabinet Construction

• Designed for frameless (Euro-style) full-access cabinets, where doors attach directly to the cabinet box without a face frame.
• Frameless construction provides full access to the cabinet interior and maximizes usable storage space.
• Frameless cabinets typically feature thicker cabinet sides and wider doors and drawers because there is no face-frame lip.
• Full-access frameless cabinets can provide approximately 15% more storage space than comparable traditional framed cabinets.
• Frameless does not mean lower quality. It refers specifically to the cabinet construction method—the absence of a face frame.

Grass Tiomos 160° Self-Close Hinge Technology

Grass Tiomos is an innovative cabinet hinge system engineered to provide smooth door movement, precise alignment, and dependable closing performance. Its advanced kinematics are built directly into the hinge, allowing the internal mechanism to remain concealed while delivering exceptional functionality.

• 160° opening angle: Provides wide cabinet access and increased clearance for storage and everyday use.
• Self-closing operation: Helps bring the cabinet door smoothly toward the closed position.
• Integrated kinematics: Advanced internal hinge geometry makes doors easy to open and supports precise door alignment.
• Clean, concealed design: The sophisticated operating mechanism is contained within the hinge for a streamlined cabinet appearance.
• Inset application: Designed specifically for frameless cabinets using inset doors.

Three-Dimensional Cabinet Door Adjustment

The Grass Tiomos hinge system provides three-dimensional adjustment, allowing cabinet installers to fine-tune door position for consistent reveals and accurate alignment.

• Depth adjustment: +3/-2mm — A continuous, self-locking adjustment controlled by the worm gear built into the hinge.
• Side adjustment: ±2mm — Adjustment is made directly on the hinge arm for precise lateral positioning.
• Height adjustment: ±2mm — The mounting plate included with this kit provides height adjustment through an integrated worm gear.

Inset Door Application & Cup-Hole Distance

Proper cabinet door positioning is determined by the combination of the hinge style, mounting plate height, and cup-hole distance. This Grass Tiomos kit is configured for a specific cup-hole distance range to provide the intended inset installation.

• The resulting door position is determined by three factors: cup-hole distance, hinge type, and mounting plate height.
• This kit is designed for a cup-hole distance between 4 and 6mm (5/32 in. to 15/64 in.).
• If your cup-hole distance falls outside this range, contact McFeely's Technical Support for assistance selecting the appropriate Grass Tiomos hinge and mounting plate combination.

Door Thickness Compatibility

• Designed for cabinet doors up to 24mm (approximately 15/16 in.) thick.
• For doors thicker than 24mm, contact McFeely's Technical Support for help selecting the correct hinge components.

Grass Tiomos Self-Close Hinge Kit Benefits

• 160° opening angle for excellent cabinet access.
• Self-closing hinge action for convenient everyday operation.
• Three-dimensional adjustment for precise cabinet door alignment.
• Integrated worm-gear adjustment provides controlled, accurate positioning.
• Frameless inset design is ideal for European-style full-access cabinetry.
• Single-door kit simplifies component selection and installation.
• Grass Tiomos kinematics provide smooth, controlled cabinet door movement.

Recommended Hinge Configuration

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 closing control.

Important Installation Information

Cup-hole distance is the measurement from the edge of the cabinet door to the closest edge of the hinge cup hole. Verify your cup-hole distance and door thickness before installation to ensure this hinge and plate combination is appropriate for your cabinet application.
