Sugatsune Thick Door Hinge For Concealed Cabinets

Sugatsune thick door hinge H230-C26/26T is a concealed cabinet hinge designed for thick doors in both face-frame and frameless applications, so it supports projects where a standard European hinge will not match the door build. This hinge is specified as a 1 inch overlay model, which allows the door edge to overlap the face frame or cabinet side by that amount, giving consistent reveals across a run of cabinets. The hinge is a 26mm European thick door hinge, so it matches 26mm style boring patterns and fits into modern concealed hinge layouts. Sugatsune America identifies this hinge as a self-close hinge, which means the hinge pulls the door shut in the final part of travel and holds it closed without separate catches. The hinge is rated as a concealed cabinet hinge, keeping hardware out of sight so the door face stays clean while the hinge manages the door weight.

Load Ratings And Ordering Details That Matter

• This THICK DOOR EUROPEAN HINGE 26MM OL SC has a listed load capacity of 13 lbs for 2 hinges, so a pair on a smaller thick door supports that door weight within the stated range.
• The same hinge is rated at 22 lbs when 3 hinges are used, allowing a third hinge on a taller or heavier thick door to share the door load.
• The hinge supports 33 lbs with 4 hinges, which lets a long or dense door be carried by additional hinges while keeping load per hinge within the rating.
• With 5 hinges, the listed capacity is 40 lbs, so large or high-use thick doors can be hung using more hinges to distribute the weight.
• Sugatsune America specifies this product under Manufacturer Part # H230-C26/26T, giving installers a precise identifier when matching existing jobs or ordering repeats.

Hinge Mounting And Overlay Use On Cabinets

This 100 degree screw-on hinge mounts using a screw-on method, so the hinge cup and arm fasten directly to the door and cabinet with screws during installation. The 100 degree opening angle allows the door to swing open to that angle, which provides working access to the cabinet interior while keeping the door travel within that arc. As a 1 inch overlay hinge, it positions the door so that it overlaps the supporting face frame or side panel by 1 inch, providing a defined overlay that can be repeated from cabinet to cabinet. Being built as a European concealed long arm hinge, it sits inside the cabinet line when the door is closed, so only the door face shows while the mechanism handles the door motion.

Using This Thick Door Hinge In Cabinet Projects

Where This Concealed Hinge Fits Best

This European thick door hinge is categorized under Hinges, European Concealed Long Arm Hinges, and European Thick Door Hinges, so it aligns with cabinet builds that call for concealed European hardware on thicker doors. As a concealed cabinet hinge, it supports cabinet doors where the hardware must stay hidden when closed, which suits residential or commercial cabinetry that favors a clean exterior. The 26mm OL SC description identifies it as a 26mm thick door European hinge with overlay and self-close function, so it is suited to cabinets where the door overlay and concealed self-closing action are both required. Its 100 degree screw-on design is useful on cabinets that need a practical opening angle for day-to-day access without exceeding that swing. Because the hinge works on both face-frame and frameless thick door layouts, it can be applied to mixed construction runs in the same project while keeping the hinge style consistent.

Why Load And Self-Close Details Support Results

The load capacity listing of 13 lbs for 2 hinges shows how a pair of these hinges can carry a typical smaller thick cabinet door within the rated limits, which supports predictable door performance. When 3 hinges are fitted to a door, the 22 lb capacity spreads the weight across more points, which helps when a door is taller or uses heavier thick materials. The 33 lb rating with 4 hinges allows long or heavy doors to be supported by adding more hinges, so each hinge works within the specified capacity. On very large or dense doors, the 40 lb capacity with 5 hinges means the installer can plan a five-hinge layout to handle that weight. The self-close feature specified for this hinge brings the door closed at the end of travel and holds it there, which simplifies alignment with door catches and keeps doors resting in the same position. As a 100 degree screw-on European concealed hinge, it combines the defined opening angle and screw-fastened mounting with a clean concealed look, supporting repeatable cabinet door movement and appearance across a job.
