Sugatsune inset glass door hinge is a free swinging hinge designed for inset glass doors on showcases, so the door can pivot smoothly while sitting flush within the frame. This hinge is suitable for showcases, matching typical retail or display case layouts where glass doors need clean alignment. The hinge is screw-on, so it secures to the cabinet structure with screws for a solid, repeatable mount. A built-in catch is part of the hinge design, so the door can stay in position without a separate catch component. The hinge is specified in a gold finish, which matches the GH-450/GA designation and supports projects calling for warm-toned hardware. As a glass door hinge, it is intended to work with glass panels rather than wood, fitting the needs of display cabinetry and similar applications.
This hinge offers vertical adjustment of plus or minus 1.0 mm, so the installer can fine-tune the glass door height to line up parallel with adjacent doors and cabinet framing. Horizontal adjustment of plus or minus 1.2 mm is also specified, so the door position can be shifted side-to-side to tighten reveals or correct minor drilling offsets. The screw-on mounting approach means the hinge body is fixed to the cabinet structure with screws, creating a rigid base for these small adjustments. The design references a spacer system for 5 to 8 mm glass, so the hinge can be set up to position the glass face correctly relative to the frame.
The GH-450/GA hinge is specified as suitable for showcases, so it fits applications like retail displays or glass-front cabinets where inset glass doors are required. The spacer system is described for glass thickness from 5 to 8 mm, so it can handle common metric glass sizes used in showcases. The web description notes specific spacer configurations: for 3/16 inch glass, use with 3 spacers; for 1/4 inch glass, use with 2 spacers; for 5/16 inch glass, a spacer is not required. These spacer details allow the hinge to position glass of those thicknesses correctly in relation to the hinge body. The applicable glass door size per pair is listed as width 600 mm, height 1,200 mm, and weight 15 kg, so two hinges in a pair are intended to support a glass door up to approximately 23-5/8 inches wide, 47-1/4 inches high, and 33 pounds. These size and weight parameters define the intended door envelope for this hinge configuration.
The vertical adjustment of plus or minus 1.0 mm allows the installer to raise or lower the mounted glass door slightly, which helps align the top and bottom edges with the cabinet frame on inset showcase fronts. Horizontal adjustment of plus or minus 1.2 mm permits shifting the door left or right on the hinge, so the gap between the door and cabinet sides can be balanced for an even reveal. The hinge is free swinging by design, so the door can move without spring force, which helps when doors need to stay open during loading of display items. The integrated catch works with this free motion by providing a holding action within the hinge, so the door can be retained without relying on a separate catch part. When used with the spacer guidance for 3/16 inch, 1/4 inch, and 5/16 inch glass, the hinge and spacers together set the glass position in the hinge accurately for each thickness, helping maintain consistent alignment across multiple doors in the same showcase run.
