Terq Glidex-Sys™ concealed hinge with adjustable damper installed in a cabinet
Fluid Motion Control System

Glidex-Sys™

Engineered for Silky-Smooth Motion and Quiet Closure.

Glidex-Sys™ coordinates defined stages of the hinge’s opening and closing cycle, supporting controlled movement, consistent deceleration and a quiet approach to the closed position. The result is a movement that feels calm, controlled and comfortable in everyday use.

How it works

Four stages of fluid control

Key points

What it delivers

  • Weighted feel, smooth motionA composed, weighted feel from the first touch. Internal fluid damping absorbs friction and vibration for an effortless, smooth glide.
  • Opening-end cushioningNear full opening, damping absorbs excess energy, softening end-of-travel impact and protecting the cabinet side panel.
  • Free-stop holdFrom 45° to full opening, the door stays where it is left: balanced, quiet and hands-free.
  • Dual-valve, quiet closureA high-viscosity, dual-valve hydraulic damper sets a smooth, linear deceleration, drawing the door to a flush, quiet close without bounce.

Operating details vary by model; see each product page for the functions it includes.

Works with

Model-specific control

The four stages run through the family; some models add direct control over the damping.

  • Hold range by modelPosition hold runs from 45° to each hinge’s maximum opening: 45°–105° on GS105, GSA105 and GSM105, 45°–100° on SD100, and 45°–155° on GS155.
  • GSA105 · Damping adjustmentFine-tune the closing response to suit the door.
  • GSA105 · soft-close deactivation switchDeactivate or reactivate soft-close as the application requires.
  • SD100 · Cup-integrated damperThe damper sits in the hinge cup, preserving clearance around drawers and shelves; it also has a soft-close deactivation switch.
