The TEC Soft-close face frame hinge system from Grass America features an adjustable switch to regulate the closing action of cabinet doors, which the company says makes doors close consistently, regardless of the size and weight. The TEC system contains a three-tiered adjustment switch that controls the damping resistance, enabling fine-tuning of the closing action. Set at the highest level, the damping system has the most resistance and provides the longest closing action. The lowest-resistance setting allows light and small doors to be operated with very little closing pressure. The settings can be different for each hinge to achieve optimal and consistent closing action regardless of the size or weight of the door, the company says

The hinges feature three-dimensional adjustment (height, side, and depth), as well as a variety of available overlays for customization that allow for a standard traditional face frame look, or an overlay hinge for a frameless style. The low-profile cup allows for a shallow drilling depth of 11mm, and the mechanism contains no parts that protrude into the interior of the cabinet. The one-piece hinge and base plate construction is sized for 42 and 45mm boring patterns.
