Soft-close dampening hinge from Sugatsune America is a light duty torque hinge designed to control closing movement so a lid does not slam shut. The built-in damper slows the motion as the lid approaches closed, which protects the lid and surrounding structure during everyday use. As a hinge in the torque hinge product class, it resists motion through its range, which helps hold lighter lids in position while they move toward the closed position. The hinge is classified as light duty, which suits smaller or lighter-weight lids in cabinetry or similar applications where heavy loads are not present. This hinge is part of the HG-JHM series, tying it to a consistent product family for projects that standardize hardware. The black finish supports projects calling for darker hardware that visually recedes. Wurth Baer Supply offers this hinge for woodworking professionals who need predictable soft closing performance.
This mortise mount type hinge is designed to be recessed into the mounting surface, so installers cut a matching mortise before fitting the hinge body. As part of the invisible and recessed hinges category, this layout helps keep hardware out of view when the lid is closed, which supports clean cabinet lines on visible projects. The 4 holes on the hinge leaf establish clear fixing locations, allowing installers to fasten the hinge securely into the mortised area and maintain a repeatable layout from lid to lid. The 1 knuckle design defines a tight pivot zone, which makes it easier to plan the mortise position so the lid closes fully without binding against adjacent materials.
This hinge is identified as a light duty torque hinge, so it is suited to lighter lids in woodworking or similar constructions where controlled closing is important. The hinge belongs in the invisible and recessed hinges category, which makes it a practical choice when the project calls for concealed hardware along the lid edge. Because the mortise mount type sets the hinge into the material, it works well on lid and frame edges that can accept a machined recess. The HG-JHM14-S-8BL part number ties it directly to the HG-JHM series, which is useful for projects that already rely on that Sugatsune family and need a soft-close dampening version to match. The black finish supports designs using dark panels or trim where exposed metal should blend instead of stand out.
The hinge with built-in damper keeps a lid from slamming shut, so the closing force is absorbed in the hinge rather than at the stop, which can help limit impact on joinery and contents over repeated cycles. As a torque hinge, it provides resistance through its motion, which contributes to controlled movement as the lid approaches the closed position. The 1 knuckle layout concentrates the pivot, giving a predictable swing path so shop drawings can reflect actual movement. With 4 holes, the hinge can be fastened at multiple points, spreading the working load across the mounting surface and supporting long-term alignment. The mortise mount type installation seats the hinge flush in the edge, helping maintain consistent gaps around the lid and supporting smoother operation when combined with the soft-close function.
The HG-JHM14-S-8BL is a soft-close dampening torque hinge, so it controls lid movement and helps prevent the lid from slamming shut during everyday operation.
The hinge with built-in damper slows the closing motion of the lid, which reduces impact at the closed position and supports a more controlled, quieter close.
This hinge is described as light duty, so it is intended for lighter lids where the torque and soft-close action match smaller or less demanding applications.
This hinge uses a mortise mount type, so it is recessed into the material to support invisible and recessed hinge applications along the lid edge.
The 4 holes provide multiple fixing points, which distributes load into the substrate and helps keep the hinge anchored and aligned through repeated lid cycles.
The black hinge finish suits projects using dark casework or trim, where the hardware is intended to blend visually while still delivering soft-close performance.
The soft-close dampening hinge HG-JHM14-S-8BL from Sugatsune America offers a mortise mount type, torque hinge action, and a built-in damper that keeps lids from slamming shut. For light duty lids where recessed, invisible hinge hardware and controlled closing are priorities, this hinge aligns the mounting style, movement control, and black finish into one consistent solution ready for integration into woodworking projects.
