FAQs
What is the main advantage of the Sensys 8645i hinge?
The primary advantage is the integrated Silent System, which provides smooth, quiet closing of cabinet doors, preventing slams and reducing wear.
What door thickness can these hinges accommodate?
These hinges are designed for doors with a thickness ranging from 15 mm to 24 mm.
Are these hinges suitable for overlay doors?

The hinges offer three-way adjustment: overlay (side-to-side), depth (in/out), and height. Adjustments are made via screws on the hinge arm and the mounting plate.
What is included in the package?
The package includes one pair of hinges (2 hinges), two TH52 cross mounting plates, and M3.5 x 17 mm screws.
What is the hinge cup diameter and depth?
The hinge cup diameter is 35 mm, and the cup depth is 12.8 mm.
What does Quality Classification EN 15570 Level 3 mean?
This classification indicates that the hinges meet high European standards for strength, durability, and performance, suitable for demanding applications.
Troubleshooting
Door does not close softly.
Verify the Silent System mechanism is functioning. Ensure no obstructions are hindering the closing motion. Check if the door thickness is within the specified range (15-24 mm).
Door is not aligned correctly.
Utilize the three-way adjustment screws (overlay, depth, height) on the hinge and mounting plate to achieve proper alignment.
Hinge does not clip onto the mounting plate.
Ensure the mounting plate is securely fastened and correctly positioned. Check for any damage or debris on the clip mechanism of both the hinge and plate.
Door opens too wide or not wide enough.
Confirm the hinge's maximum opening angle is 110°. If issues persist, check for obstructions or improper installation.
