Hettich Obsidian Black Sensys Hinges

Overview

The Obsidian Black Sensys range is a line of black-finish furniture hinges from Hettich India, sold under the Furniture Hinges category. These hinges are designed for kitchen and cabinet applications where a matte black hardware finish and soft-close (Sensys) technology are wanted for a modern, elegant look. The range covers multiple sizes, opening angles, and mounting configurations, plus matching black cover caps and mounting plates.

What It Does

Sensys hinges use Hettich's soft-close mechanism to control door closing motion, avoiding slamming. The Obsidian Black finish variant applies this technology in a black-coated hinge body, arm, and cap so all visible hinge parts match dark or black cabinetry instead of standard nickel/silver finishes.

Who It Helps

• Kitchen and furniture manufacturers specifying black-finish hardware for cabinet lines
• Interior designers and modular kitchen fabricators matching hinges to black or dark cabinet fronts
• Retail and trade buyers purchasing hinges, mounting plates, and cover caps as a matched set

Key Capabilities and Product Variants

Buyer Questions This Page Should Answer

What door thicknesses do these hinges fit?

The range covers door thickness applications from 15-24 mm, 15-32 mm, and 15-28 mm, plus a 19 mm aluminium profile shutter option, depending on the specific hinge model chosen.

What door application types are supported?

Half Overlay and Inset Overlay door applications are both available within the Obsidian Black Sensys range; buyers should match the application type to their cabinet door layout.

Does this hinge include soft-close functionality?

Yes. Sensys hinges are built on Hettich's soft-closing hinge platform; a "Closing Functional" filter for Soft Closing is available when browsing the category, and separate functional (non-soft-close) hinge options may also exist in the wider range.

What's included with the hinge - do I need to buy the mounting plate separately?

Some variants (the 24 mm and 32 mm pair-packaged hinges) ship with a Mounting Plate and Cover Cap included. Other variants (8657i, 8638i, 8639i) are sold as the hinge unit only ("NA" unit designation) and mounting plates/cover caps in black are sold separately as individual pieces.

What opening angles are available?

Opening angles across the range include 90°, 95°, 110°, and 165° (zero-protrusion), letting buyers choose based on how wide the cabinet door needs to swing open.

Can I use these hinges on aluminium profile doors?

Yes. The 8638i model (TA32) is specifically designed for 19 mm aluminium profile shutters.

What is a Zero Protrusion hinge and when would I use one?

The 8657i (Base 12.5, Crank 0°) is described as a Zero Protrusion Hinge with a 165° opening angle, suited to cabinet designs needing minimal hinge intrusion into the cabinet interior at wide opening angles.

Comparison Context

Hettich also sells non-black Sensys hinges and other hinge series (Slide-on Hinge, Intermat) in its Furniture Hinges category. The Obsidian Black finish is a color/aesthetic variant within the broader Sensys soft-close hinge platform, rather than a mechanically distinct hinge system.
