Product Information
Full details
The Titus B-Type 170° wide-angle hinge is designed for cabinetmakers and DIY enthusiasts building frameless or face-frame cabinets. Its primary benefit is the 170° opening angle combined with a quick slide-on mounting system for efficient assembly. A key consideration is that the mounting plate is sold separately, and soft-close functionality requires an additional add-on purchase.

FAQs
What is the primary advantage of the 170° opening angle?
The 170° opening angle provides significantly wider access to the inside of the cabinet, making it easier to view and retrieve items, especially in deep or corner cabinets.
Is the mounting plate included with the hinge?
No, the Titus B-Type hinge is sold individually, and the corresponding mounting plate is sold separately. You will need to purchase a compatible B-Type mounting plate.
How do I achieve a soft-close effect with this hinge?
Soft-close functionality is not built-in. You can purchase the TL170 951-0F15-650 soft-close add-on separately and install it onto the hinge for quieter, gentler door closure.
What are the dimensions of the hinge cup?
The hinge cup has a diameter of 35mm and a depth of 11.5mm.
Can this hinge be used for face-frame cabinets?
Yes, the Titus B-Type hinge is designed for both frameless and face-frame cabinet doors.
How many hinges are included when I purchase one unit?
The Titus B-Type hinge is sold individually. You will receive one hinge per purchase. You typically need two hinges per cabinet door.
What adjustments can be made to the hinge?
The hinge offers three-way adjustability: side adjustment (±3/0.5mm), height adjustment (±2mm), and depth adjustment (+4/-0mm) when used with a compatible mounting plate.
Troubleshooting
Cabinet door is not closing properly or is misaligned.
Utilize the three-way adjustment system on the hinge. Adjust side (+3/0.5mm), height (+2/-2mm), and depth (+4/-0mm) using the designated screws until the door is properly aligned and closes smoothly. Ensure the mounting plate is securely attached.
Hinge does not seem secure on the mounting plate.
Verify that the hinge is fully slid onto the mounting plate and that the locking mechanism has engaged. Check for any obstructions preventing a full connection. Ensure the correct B-Type mounting plate is being used.
Soft-close functionality is not working.
Confirm that the TL170 soft-close add-on has been purchased and correctly installed according to its specific instructions. The hinge itself does not have built-in soft-close; it requires the separate accessory.
The hinge cup is difficult to install into the door.
Ensure the pre-drilled holes in the door are clean and meet the 35mm diameter and 45mm hole center specifications. Do not force the hinge; if resistance is met, re-check hole dimensions and cleanliness.
