Grasse is a group enterprise formed by the merger of three factories in Austria and Germany, and the predecessor Mepla factory has been producing furniture hardware since 1929, and slide rails and hinges are its main products. Grasse is one of the world's top five hinge producers, with a sales network in 60 countries and global revenues of 378 million euros in 2017.
Grasse and Salici are both brands that enter China but are not for the mass market, so they are often compared. In contrast to Salich, who focused only on hidden hinges for half a century, Glass's focus was on drawer slides. Its damping system has always been highly praised for its smooth and silent closure, and the main product is the damping pump that tests the integrated damping technology more than the hinge, and the damping hinge was launched in 2004, only slightly later than the Saliqi.
Grasse is headquartered in Austria with factories in Germany, the Czech Republic and the USA. The hinge is divided into Tiomos integrated damping hinge and NEXIS Nexis quick-release hinge and other special hinges. The Grasse hinge door opening angle range from 95° to 270° and the narrowest door gap is 0.9 mm, and is available in the same press-in toolless installation version as Blum. Its product catalogue is about 250 pages long, and hinged solutions for all types of doors can be found in Grasse. It should be noted that most of the hinges in Grasse are made of nickel-plated steel, but the half-bent version replaces the hinges with lighter, but less strong, zinc alloy to reduce the load-bearing pressure on the side panels.
Tiomos is the latest generation of high-end damping hinges launched by Grasse in 2010 and won the Red Dot Design Award that year. When closed to 20°, the cabinet door can automatically close slowly, if it is urgent, the Heavenly Demon Master damping hinge provides three levels of damping force adjustment, and the door will not be dragged by mud and water. There are about 26 items in the series, and the basic model has an opening angle of 110° and a unit price of 30 yuan. The M9 model is suitable for doors as thin as 12 mm, while the M0 offers a non-drilled solution with door thicknesses of up to 6 mm. In addition, refrigerator doors, mirror doors, aluminum frame doors, and linkage doors also have corresponding models, which can be purchased directly without customization.
Nix is an ordinary quick-release hinge, and you can choose your own external damper, although the appearance is low, but it can appropriately reduce the budget.
