Product Details
What does the Tiomos Wedge +5D do for mounting plates?
The Tiomos Wedge +5D helps you set a controlled inclination of plus 5 degrees for cruciform mounting plates. This is useful when your cabinet door alignment needs slight adjustment for smooth closing and even spacing.
Which mounting plates is this wedge compatible with?
This wedge is designed for cruciform mounting plates that require an underlay of either plus 5 degrees to achieve the correct door position. If your hinge system uses a cruciform plate, this component is typically the correct choice for that adjustment range.
Can I use it when I need a plus or minus adjustment?
This specific part is for the plus 5 degree application. If your installation requires a minus 5 degree correction instead, you will need the matching wedge for that direction to ensure accurate alignment.
Is the finish suitable for visible hinge areas?
The wedge is nickel plated, which offers a neat, corrosion resistant surface for use in typical hinge and fitting locations. It helps the component blend well with many common nickel plated hardware sets.
What material is it made from, and why does that matter?
The Tiomos Wedge +5D is made from zinc alloy. Zinc alloy components are commonly used in cabinet hardware because they provide good strength for reliable hinge positioning while remaining easy to handle during installation.
Will this wedge make a noticeable difference to door alignment?
Yes. Using the correct wedge under a cruciform mounting plate helps fine tune the door angle so the door sits correctly and reduces misalignment issues. This can improve consistency of gaps and make the hinge adjustments quicker and more predictable.
How do I make sure I am ordering the correct part for my hinge set?
Check that your hinge system uses a cruciform mounting plate and that you specifically need a plus 5 degree underlay wedge. The Tiomos Wedge +5D is supplied as Part No 348.40.020, so matching the part number against your existing components is the best way to confirm compatibility.
Where can I use it, from home cupboards to commercial installs?
Tiomos Wedge +5D is suitable for living and commercial solutions where cabinet hinges and furniture fittings need dependable alignment. If you are maintaining, replacing, or setting up doors in a trade environment, choosing the correct wedge helps keep adjustments accurate across multiple units.
