Sugatsune folding bracket 430.8mm is a drop leaf support constructed from aluminum in a black anodized finish, so it provides sturdy support while matching darker shelf and countertop layouts. This folding shelf bracket automatically locks when the flap is in the open position, which holds the leaf up without having to add separate catches or props. A built-in release lever unlocks the support, allowing the leaf to fold down when you want the extra space cleared. The bracket is designed for panel thickness from 5/8 inch to 1-3/8 inch, so it can be used on a range of typical wood, composite, or laminate leaf constructions in shops, garages, and residential projects. With its folding action, this Sugatsune America hardware lets you create work surfaces or shelves that stay out of the way when not needed.
This Sugatsune 430.8mm folding bracket is specified for panel thickness from 5/8 inch to 1-3/8 inch, so it suits many standard shelf and countertop leaf builds used in woodworking and cabinet shops. By matching to this thickness range, the hinge and locking geometry line up properly with the leaf edge, which helps the automatic lock engage consistently when the flap is raised. The maximum width for one drop leaf support is 23-5/8 inch, so a single bracket is suited to relatively narrow leaves where load and deflection stay within the designed range. The maximum width for two drop leaf supports is 51-3/16 inch, which allows wider worktops or shelves to be carried when a pair of supports is installed, providing better support distribution along the leaf.
This Sugatsune America folding shelf bracket is categorized under folding shelf brackets for shelf, closet, and garage organization, so it is suited to projects where a surface needs to pivot out of the way. In shop or garage workstations, a drop leaf supported by this bracket can provide an extra 23-5/8 inch wide surface with one support or up to 51-3/16 inch wide when using two, allowing temporary expansion of bench space. The automatic lock in the open position supports tasks that need a stable horizontal platform, such as assembly, layout, or tool staging, because the user raises the flap and the support holds without secondary latches. When storage or vehicle clearance is required, the release lever lets the leaf fold down, reclaiming aisle space in narrow service areas or inside closets.
The aluminum material of this drop leaf support keeps the bracket rigid while remaining lighter than many steel components, which reduces stress on cabinet sides or wall substrates during repeated folding cycles. The black anodized finish gives a finished appearance and provides a consistent surface along the bracket arms, which helps the mechanism move smoothly during lock and release operations. With the automatic lock engaging when the flap reaches its open position, the bracket provides predictable stopping action, which benefits installations where the same working height is needed every time the leaf is raised. The panel thickness range of 5/8 inch to 1-3/8 inch allows builders to stay within standard material sizes while still aligning the release lever and lock points correctly at the underside of the leaf, supporting repeatable installation layouts across multiple stations or rooms.
The Sugatsune 430.8mm folding bracket is designed for panel thickness from 5/8 inch to 1-3/8 inch, so it fits many standard shelf and countertop leaf constructions.
The drop leaf support automatically locks when the flap is in the open position, so once raised, the leaf is held up without setting extra catches, useful for quick workstation setup.
The folding bracket has a release lever for unlocking, allowing the user to disengage the support and fold the leaf down when floor or aisle space is needed.
For one drop leaf support, the maximum width is 23-5/8 inch, which suits narrower shelves or worktops where a single bracket can carry the expected load.
Two drop leaf supports allow a maximum width of 51-3/16 inch, so using a pair suits wider shelves or work surfaces that benefit from support at both ends.
