Sugatsune AHB-18/SN hinge is a free swinging half overlay overlay angle hinge that supports doors without internal spring tension, which suits applications where you want doors to move freely rather than self-close. This semi-concealed hinge design keeps hardware exposure limited, which helps maintain cleaner cabinet faces while still allowing straightforward alignment. The hinge is classified as a specialty hinge, which positions it for situations where standard concealed hinges do not address overlay angles or semi-concealed layouts. The satin nickel finish provides a neutral metallic appearance, which coordinates well with many cabinet styles while maintaining a consistent look across visible hinge portions. As a screw-on style hinge, it relies on screw attachment for mounting, which lets installers position and tighten the hinge directly to door and cabinet, supporting precise placement during layout and adjustment.
The web description lists a minimum door thickness of 13/16 inch for recess mount, which means doors routed or recessed for the hinge should meet that thickness so the hinge sits properly in the material. It also lists a minimum door thickness of 11/16 inch for surface mount, which suits thinner doors when the hinge is applied directly to the surface rather than recessed. The SAP description specifies this as an 11/16 surface nickel overlay angle hinge, which aligns the hinge with projects where that door thickness and surface mounting style match the design. As a screw-on hinge, mounting relies on driving screws through the 7 holes into door and frame, which allows controlled placement and consistent clamping pressure along the hinge leaf.
This product is categorized as a semi-concealed hinge in the specialty hinges group, which fits cabinets or enclosures where some hinge exposure is acceptable but a fully surface-mounted strap hinge is not desired. The half overlay description indicates the hinge supports overlay doors that cover part of the cabinet face, which is common in many cabinet layouts that require visible but compact hinge hardware. The overlay angle hinge wording signals that the hinge geometry addresses angled or overlay-specific conditions, which is useful where door and cabinet faces do not align on a simple flush plane. With a maximum door height of 27-9/16 inches, this hinge suits small to medium doors, helping maintain proper support without overspecifying larger hinge systems. The maximum door width of 17-3/4 inches further focuses it on narrower doors, which keeps torsion and leverage within a range the 5.7 lbs. per pair capacity is designed to handle.
The stated load capacity of 5.7 lbs. per pair defines how the hinge is intended to carry door weight, which helps installers align door design with the mechanical limits of the hinge for repeatable operation. The free swinging action means there is no internal spring trying to return the door, which removes spring tension from the installation variables and lets external catches, magnets, or user handling dictate the final door position. The minimum door thickness values of 13/16 inch for recess mount and 11/16 inch for surface mount establish how much material is present around the screw holes, which supports screw holding strength over time. The 7 holes in the hinge give multiple points for fastening, which spreads the door load along the hinge leaf and reduces stress on any single point as doors are opened and closed. The satin nickel finish provides a smooth, consistent surface on the visible areas of this semi-concealed hinge, which helps doors present a uniform appearance in finished cabinetry.
The Sugatsune AHB-18/SN is a free swinging half overlay overlay angle hinge in the semi-concealed specialty hinge class, which suits overlay cabinet doors where a partially visible hinge is acceptable.
The Sugatsune AHB-18/SN hinge has a load capacity of 5.7 lbs. per pair, which guides door weight selection so the hinge remains within its intended operating range.
The Sugatsune AHB-18/SN hinge is specified for doors up to 27-9/16 inches high and 17-3/4 inches wide, which focuses it on small to medium cabinet doors.
The Sugatsune AHB-18/SN hinge lists a minimum door thickness of 13/16 inch for recess mount and 11/16 inch for surface mount, which defines compatible door stock thicknesses.
The Sugatsune AHB-18/SN hinge is free swinging, meaning it does not self-close and allows the door to move without spring resistance, useful where external catches control closure.
The Sugatsune AHB-18/SN hinge has a satin nickel finish, which gives the visible semi-concealed portions a neutral metallic look that coordinates with many cabinet styles.
The Sugatsune AHB-18/SN hinge combines a free swinging half overlay design, semi-concealed layout, and satin nickel finish, which aligns with projects needing controlled overlay doors and visible but compact hardware. Its 5.7 lbs. per pair capacity, maximum door dimensions of 27-9/16 inches high by 17-3/4 inches wide, and defined minimum thicknesses for recess and surface mounting help match the hinge to appropriate door sizes. For overlay cabinet doors that fit these dimensions and thickness ranges, this overlay angle hinge offers a defined operating envelope for planning your next installation.
