The Sugatsune GH-456C/SN is a free-swinging, screw-on overlay glass door hinge finished in Satin Nickel, designed for glass-panel cabinet doors up to 33 lb. It includes an integrated catch that holds the door in the closed position without a spring or damper.
This hinge is built for glass cabinet doors that should open fully and stay open without pulling themselves shut. Because the mechanism is free-swinging, there is no spring tension working against the user's hand. The integrated catch handles the one task a free-swinging hinge cannot: keeping the door reliably closed until someone pulls it open. That combination suits display cabinets, glass-front uppers, and any application where a quiet, non-self-closing hinge with a secure closed position is the right call. The hinge accepts a 5/16-inch glass panel, which is the glass spec to confirm against the door blank before ordering.
On a glass cabinet door, the hinge is fully visible from the front, so finish is a design decision as much as a spec decision. Satin Nickel reads as a warm, matte brushed tone that pairs naturally with stainless pulls, brushed nickel knobs, and similar mid-tone hardware across a kitchen or display installation. Sugatsune's machined hardware carries consistent finish quality, and the Satin Nickel color on this hinge is a catalog finish name, not a paraphrase. If the rest of the project uses Polished Chrome or another finish, sibling SKUs in this family carry those options.
Designers and cabinet shops reach for this hinge on glass-front display cabinets, hutches, china cabinets, and upper kitchen cabinets where the door should open and hold without closing itself. The 33 lb weight limit covers most glass panels in these applications, but it is worth calculating the panel weight before specifying. Homeowners doing a single cabinet retrofit and shops fitting out a full kitchen run will both find the screw-on mount straightforward: the hinge attaches directly to the cabinet, no plate order required. The overlay configuration is the right fit where the glass door is meant to cover the cabinet opening rather than sit flush inside it.
No. The screw-on design fastens directly to the cabinet. There is no separate base plate to order.
Yes. The free-swinging mechanism has no spring, so the door holds at whatever angle it is left. The integrated catch keeps it closed when pulled shut.
The hinge is a wrap-angle style that attaches to the glass edge rather than boring through it. Tempered glass is always a sound choice for safety on any cabinet glass panel, and your glazier can confirm what the project requires.
This SKU is Satin Nickel. The same hinge family is available in Chrome, Polished, and other finishes as separate SKUs.
Overlay. The door covers the cabinet opening. For inset glass doors that sit flush inside the opening, a different hinge model is needed.
When the project calls for a visible, Satin Nickel hinge on an overlay glass door that opens without resistance and catches cleanly when closed, the GH-456C/SN is the straightforward specification.
