Sugatsune free swinging overlay glass door hinge is a screw-on hinge designed for overlay glass doors on showcases, so it supports typical display cabinet layouts where glass sits over the frame. The wrap angle glass door hinge design suits overlay use, so the door overlays the cabinet structure while the hinge manages the pivot at the frame edge. This hinge is suitable for showcases, so it aligns well with retail, museum, or residential display cabinetry where clear viewing and smooth door swing are important. The hinge is a free swinging style with no catch, so the door moves freely through its swing range without built-in detents that might interrupt motion. The product has a gold finish described as GLD, supporting installations where a warm metallic tone coordinates with other showcase hardware.
The mounting position is adjustable vertically plus or minus 1 mm, so the installer can fine-tune the door height against adjacent doors or case edges to reduce uneven reveals. The mounting position is also adjustable horizontally plus or minus 1.2 mm, so the door gap side-to-side can be tuned after mounting to help reduce rubbing or misalignment at the strike side. A spacer is provided to accommodate different glass thicknesses from 5 mm to 8 mm, so a single hinge model covers common showcase glass sizes. For 3/16 inch glass, the specification is to use 3 spacers, so the hinge interface fills the gap created by the thinner glass thickness. For 1/4 inch glass, the specification is to use 2 spacers, so the hinge mounts the glass securely without over-clamping the panel. For 5/16 inch glass, the specification indicates the spacer is not required, simplifying mounting for thicker glass.
The hinge is suitable for showcases, so it fits installations like display cases, trophy cabinets, or merchandise cabinets where glass overlay doors are standard. The applicable glass door size per pair is specified with a width of 600 mm, or 23-5/8 inches, so a pair of hinges is intended to support doors within that width range in typical showcase layouts. The applicable glass door height per pair is 1,200 mm, or 47-1/4 inches, so taller display doors within that height are addressed by the hinge capacity specification. The applicable glass door weight per pair is 15 kg, or 33 lb, so a standard pair of hinges is specified for doors within that weight range to provide door support consistent with the manufacturer rating. These width, height, and weight specifications per pair of hinges help the installer select a door size that works within the stated limits for typical glass showcase construction.
The mounting position vertical adjustment of plus or minus 1 mm allows fine corrections when the case or frame variations produce minor misalignment, which matters when multiple glass doors meet at a shared reveal line. The horizontal adjustment of plus or minus 1.2 mm allows the installer to shift the door relative to the side panel, which helps create a consistent gap and reduces contact during opening and closing cycles. The spacer supports glass thicknesses from 5 mm to 8 mm, or approximately 3/16 inch to 5/16 inch, so a single hinge model can be used across several common glass thickness standards in showcase work. The detail specifying 3 spacers for 3/16 inch glass, 2 spacers for 1/4 inch glass, and no spacer for 5/16 inch glass provides a clear pattern that aligns the clamping geometry of the hinge with the actual glass thickness. This glass thickness accommodation helps the hinge seat the glass panel in a consistent plane, which supports smooth swinging and predictable clearances at adjacent case components.
The Sugatsune GH-456N/GA hinge is designed for overlay glass doors used on showcases, so it suits display cases where glass doors overlay the cabinet or frame structure.
The GH-456N/GA hinge offers vertical adjustment of plus or minus 1 mm, allowing fine height tuning of the glass door to align edges and reveals with adjacent doors or casework.
The GH-456N/GA hinge provides horizontal adjustment of plus or minus 1.2 mm, so the door position can shift slightly side-to-side to set consistent gaps and reduce edge contact.
The GH-456N/GA spacer system accommodates glass thickness from 5 mm to 8 mm, or about 3/16 inch to 5/16 inch, matching common glass sizes used in showcase construction.
A pair of GH-456N/GA hinges is specified for glass doors up to 600 mm wide, 1,200 mm high, and 15 kg in weight, supporting typical showcase door dimensions.
The GH-456N/GA is free swinging with no catch, so the glass door moves through its swing range without built-in detents, allowing separate latching or locking solutions.
The Sugatsune free swinging overlay glass door hinge, model GH-456N/GA, combines overlay use with screw-on installation, so it fits straightforward showcase casework layouts. The specified vertical and horizontal adjustment ranges support in-field tuning when doors are hung, giving flexibility to respond to case tolerances. The spacer system covers glass from 5 mm to 8 mm, aligning with common 3/16 inch, 1/4 inch, and 5/16 inch glass types in display applications. The stated applicable door width, height, and weight per pair give a clear window for selecting door dimensions that match the hinge rating. For showcase projects that need a gold-finished, overlay, free swinging glass door hinge, this GH-456N/GA configuration offers defined adjustment and sizing parameters ready for specification.
