The newest feature of the TEC Softclose hinge system is a three tiered adjustment switch that enables you to regulate the closing action of the door. These three levels of adjustment provide a different level of resistance on the damping system in the soft-close mechanism. Set at the highest level, the damping system has the most resistance and provides the longest closing action. To achieve less resistance you can place the adjustment switch at the medium level or lower level. The settings can be different for each hinge on the door so that you can achieve the maximum benefit in your closing action regardless of the size or weight of the door. The development of the TEC Softclose is based on the ever popular 3- dimensional TEC face frame hinge with a variety of overlays offered. The Softclose mechanism is pre-mounted in to the interior of the hinge cup, therefore, no additional installation of the Softclose is required. The drilling depth of the cup remains at mm and there are no protruding parts in the interior of the cabinet. Made in the USA, the TEC Soft-close offers quiet and effortless closing action every time. 3

Technical information for TEC Soft-close hinges There are numerous variables that will determine the choice of hinge. Determine the requirements of the application. Consider the following points based on the door to cabinet application. Door overlay 2 Base plate mounting to face frame: a. Wrap-around - 3 4 thick frames only b. Side mount - frames thicker than 3 4 3 Door clearance/hinge arm clearance (for interior rollout trays) 4 Door gap - distance between face frame and the back of the closed door 5 6 7 Minimum reveal - distance between two doors hinged back-to-back Door thickness - thicker doors can restrict opening angle and minimum reveal Hinge cup boring pattern for dowelled hinges Number of hinges per door The number of hinges is determined by the door height, door weight, quality of the material and the fixing of the cup and mounting plate. The load and height data refer to 24" standard door widths. 96" 84" 2 3 4 5 The table refers to hinges with and without integrated dampers. Grass strongly recommends a trial mount for all hinges and base plates. Example: For doors measuring 56" x 24" and weighing 9 lbs., Grass recommends the installation of 3 hinges. 63" 56" 35" 24" Note: The distance between the top and bottom hinge must be greater than the width of the door. 24" The TEC Soft-close hinge meets and exceeds the minimum requirements of ANSI/BHMA A56.9 standard. inches pounds 5 20 30 45 60 All-steel Construction TEC hinges feature a solid metal hinge cup.
