Short Soft Closing Hinge Wide Opening 165 Degrees AY08-01A

AY08-01A Wide Opening 165° Soft Closing Short Hinge
Unmatched Access. Unbeatable Performance.

Introducing the AY08-01A Wide Opening 165° Soft Closing Short Hinge — a high-performance cabinet hinge designed for maximum door clearance and smooth, silent operation. With an ultra-wide 165° opening angle, this hinge is the perfect solution for deep cabinets, corner units, pull-out shelves, and space-constrained environments where full access is non-negotiable.

Unlike standard 95° or 110° hinges, the AY08-01A allows the door to swing nearly flat against the adjacent cabinet, providing complete visibility and reach into the interior — a critical advantage for kitchen pantries, bathroom vanities, utility cabinets, and luxury furniture.

Despite its wide-angle performance, the AY08-01A features a compact (short) arm design, making it ideal for narrow stiles, thin doors, or shallow mounting spaces where a long-arm hinge would interfere. This space-saving engineering ensures maximum functionality without compromising structural integrity.

Equipped with an integrated hydraulic damper, the hinge delivers soft, silent, automatic door closure — eliminating slamming, reducing noise, and protecting cabinetry from impact. This enhances user comfort, safety, and product durability, especially in high-traffic residential and commercial settings.

The clip-on installation system allows the hinge body to snap securely into the mounting plate — enabling tool-free assembly and easy maintenance. This reduces labor time by up to 40%, making it ideal for mass production lines and after-service adjustments.

With full 3D (triaxial) adjustability (±2.5mm vertical, ±2.0mm lateral, ±1.5mm depth), the AY08-01A ensures perfect door alignment even after installation — a must for precision cabinetry and high-end finishes.

Constructed from high-grade zinc alloy (ZL01/Zamak3) with stainless steel shafts and nylon bushings, the hinge is tested for 50,000+ open/close cycles, guaranteeing long-term durability and smooth performance under daily use.

Available in Full Overlay and Half Overlay configurations, the AY08-01A offers maximum design flexibility — allowing manufacturers to support multiple door styles with a single hinge platform.

Finished with satin nickel plating, the hinge is 72-hour salt spray tested, providing excellent corrosion resistance — ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, and humid environments.

Designed to NISKO-compatible standards, the AY08-01A integrates seamlessly with common European mounting systems, making it a direct upgrade or replacement for standard 35mm cup hinges.
