Soft-Close Dampening Hinges Heavy Duty Black pair a built-in damper with torque hinge function to keep a lid from slamming shut, which helps protect the lid, casework, and anything positioned under the swing path. The hinge is identified as heavy-duty, so it is intended for applications where the lid places higher load on the hinge than light-duty furniture doors. This product is classified as a torque hinge in the invisible and recessed hinges category, so it is designed to hold lid motion in a controlled way rather than simply free-swinging. The black finish supports projects that call for darker hardware, which matters when the hinge is visible on darker cabinets or equipment. The hinge is part of the HG-JHM series from Sugatsune America, so HG-JHM14-S-20BL ties into a defined product family that installers can reference when standardizing on a hardware line.
The hinge is a mortise mount type, so installation involves routing or machining a pocket for the body of the hinge, which lets the hinge sit recessed and align flush with the surrounding material. As an invisible and recessed hinge, it is intended to be concealed within the structure when the lid is closed, which supports clean cabinet lines and protected hardware edges. The 1 knuckle format focuses the pivot at a single axis, which helps installers set a consistent reveal along the lid edge without managing multiple knuckles. With 4 holes in the hinge design, fasteners can be positioned to pull the hinge tight into the mortise, which supports stable alignment of the lid through repeated opening and closing cycles.
This hinge is categorized under hinges and specifically invisible and recessed hinges, so it is aimed at projects where the hardware should be largely hidden inside the construction. The built-in damper is specified to keep a lid from slamming shut, so the hinge suits lids on cabinets, chests, or enclosures where controlled closing is important for user comfort or component protection. Because it is identified as a torque hinge, it is meant to manage the motion of the lid rather than simply swinging freely, which supports applications where a steady, damped close is part of the design intent. The heavy-duty description positions HG-JHM14-S-20BL for more demanding lids than light-duty hardware, which matters when the lid has added weight from thicker materials or applied components on its surface.
The manufacturer part number HG-JHM14-S-20BL ties directly to the HG-JHM series, so this hinge can align with other HG-JHM components already used in a shop layout. As a Sugatsune America product, it comes from a brand focused on engineered hinge solutions, which helps buyers match this hinge with other Sugatsune components by series and function. The hinge is identified as a torque hinge with built-in damper, so its internal mechanism is intended to manage both movement and closing speed, which supports repeatable lid action from job to job. The black heavy-duty construction connects finish and load intent in one component, which allows designers to keep a consistent dark hardware theme while still addressing higher lid forces. Its classification as an invisible and recessed hinge signals that the mortise mount installation is part of the design, which helps maintain clean lines on visible furniture or equipment faces.
The HG-JHM14-S-20BL is a torque hinge with a built-in damper, so it both supports the lid and slows the closing motion for controlled, reduced-impact lid movement.
The built-in damper is specified to keep the lid from slamming shut, so it slows the final travel, which protects the lid, casework, and items around the closing area.
This hinge is a mortise mount type, so it fits into a machined pocket, letting it sit recessed for a cleaner look and more stable, repeatable alignment.
The description calls it heavy-duty, so it is intended for applications where the hinge must handle higher lid loads than light-duty hinges, supporting demanding woodworking projects.
The 1 knuckle design concentrates the pivot on a single axis, and the 4 holes distribute load, so alignment is straightforward and the hinge seats firmly in the mortise.
As an invisible and recessed torque hinge with damper for lids, it suits cabinets, chests, or enclosures where concealed, soft-closing lid motion is part of the design.
The Soft-Close Dampening Hinges Heavy Duty Black from Sugatsune America combine torque hinge function with a built-in damper, so each lid closes in a controlled, non-slamming motion. The mortise mount, invisible and recessed hinge design lets the HG-JHM14-S-20BL sit cleanly within your cabinet or enclosure while the 1 knuckle, 4-hole layout supports straightforward alignment and solid mounting. For projects calling for a heavy-duty, soft-closing lid solution in a black finish, this HG-JHM series hinge gives you a clearly defined part number to specify on drawings and repeat across builds.
