Grass® Tiomos® 160-Degree Self-Close Hinge Group

Grass® Tiomos® self-close hinges provide smooth, reliable cabinet door operation with a wide 160-degree opening angle and precise three-dimensional adjustment. Designed for professional cabinetmaking and woodworking applications, the Tiomos hinge system makes it easy to fine-tune door position for consistent gaps, overlays, and alignment.

The Tiomos hinge features continuous, self-locking depth adjustment using a worm gear mechanism. Height and side adjustments provide additional control, allowing cabinet doors to be aligned accurately after installation. The self-close mechanism brings the door smoothly toward the closed position for dependable everyday operation.

Precise Three-Dimensional Hinge Adjustment

Tiomos hinges are engineered for straightforward cabinet door alignment with independent adjustment points. Depth adjustment is continuous and self-locking through the worm gear principle, while height adjustment depends on the selected mounting plate. Side adjustment is integrated into the hinge arm for convenient fine-tuning.

• Depth Adjustment: +3/-2 mm through a continuous, self-locking worm gear
• Height Adjustment: Up to ±2 mm with worm-gear base plates or approximately ±2.5 mm with elongated mounting holes
• Side Adjustment: ±2 mm through the hinge arm
• Opening Angle: 160 degrees
• Closing Action: Self-close mechanism for smooth, controlled cabinet door closing

Cabinet Door Overlay and Installation Geometry

The door edge protrusion is the amount that the edge of an open cabinet door extends into the cabinet opening. This dimension varies according to the hinge configuration and mounting method. Door edge protrusion can be changed by adjusting the height of the mounting plate and using the hinge's lateral adjustment.

The minimum gap is the space between the closed cabinet door and the front of the cabinet. Proper drilling distance, cup position, door thickness, hinge cranking, and mounting plate height all contribute to the final door overlay and minimum gap.

Drilling Distance (DD) is the distance between the edge of the cabinet door and the edge of the hinge cup hole. Cup Center (CC) is calculated from the drilling distance plus half of the hinge cup diameter. Door Overlay is the portion of the cabinet side wall or face frame covered by the door on the hinge side.

Overlay Options

The hinge cup overlay, combined with the drilling distance and mounting plate configuration, determines the finished door overlay. Tiomos hinges can be configured for a range of cabinet door applications.

• Full Overlay - Cranking 00: Uses a hinge with 00 cranking and a 00 base plate height for full-overlay applications.
• Overlay - Cranking 03: Uses a hinge with 00 cranking and a 3 mm base plate configuration for overlay applications.
• Half Overlay - Cranking 9.5: Uses a hinge with 00 cranking and a 9.5 mm base plate configuration for half-overlay applications.
• Inset - Cranking 19: Uses a hinge with 00 cranking and a base plate height appropriate for inset installation.
