Nickel Concealed Hinge for 1/2" Overlay Doors at 85 Degrees

The Sugatsune Olympia is a free-swinging concealed hinge for 1/2 inch overlay doors on face-frame and frameless cabinets, finished in Nickel with a screw-on mount and an 85 degree opening angle.

Key Features

• 85 degree opening angle keeps a thick or close-clearance door from swinging into an adjacent wall or cabinet.
• 1/2 inch overlay, half crank arm positions the door at a partial overlay, the right geometry where two doors share a center partition or a shallow stile limits the reveal.
• Free-swinging motion holds the door at any position without a spring or damper pulling it closed.
• Screw-on mount fastens directly to the cabinet side or face-frame stile with wood screws, no system holes required.
• Nickel finish on plated steel ties cleanly into hardware collections already running a nickel palette.
• Fits face-frame and frameless cabinets, covering both construction types from a single SKU.

Where This Hinge Does Its Job

The 85 degree opening is the right call when full swing would cause a problem: a door sitting close to a wall, an adjacent cabinet that limits clearance, or a thick door that needs the tighter arc to clear its own frame without binding. It is a controlled, intentional angle built for the application, not a shortcoming. The half crank sets the door at a 1/2 inch partial overlay, which means it covers part of the cabinet side rather than the full panel, the standard setup when two doors meet on a shared center partition or when the frame geometry calls for a partial reveal. The 35mm cup bores into the back of the door, and the arm connects to a base plate on the cabinet, ordered separately. A matching Sugatsune plate is required to complete the installation.

Nickel Finish and Plated Steel Construction

The hinge body is plated steel in a Nickel finish. Nickel reads as a cool, polished neutral that coordinates naturally with brushed or satin nickel pulls, knobs, and other visible cabinet hardware. For a run where the hardware finish is already decided and Nickel is the spec, this hinge keeps the concealed components consistent with the rest of the palette. Maximum door thickness is 13/16 inch, so this hinge suits standard door stock. The 11mm cup depth and 45mm boring pattern mean the cup seats properly in a standard 35mm bore without bottoming out or leaving a gap at the surface.

Right Fit for This Angle and Overlay

This hinge belongs on projects where the 85 degree restriction solves a real clearance problem and a partial overlay is the specified door position. Designers specifying hardware for a run with tight wall clearances or a specific partial-reveal aesthetic will find the combination of angle and overlay geometry useful. Cabinet shops and installers working face-frame or frameless boxes can use the same SKU on either construction type. Because this hinge is free-swinging, the door stays where it is put and will not pull closed on its own. A catch or magnet is needed to keep the door closed. If the project calls for a self-closing spring or a soft-close damper instead, a different motion technology version of this series is the right pick.

Controlled Swing, Clean Finish, One SKU for Two Cabinet Types

When the job calls for a partial overlay door held at 85 degrees with a Nickel finish that coordinates across the whole run, this Sugatsune Olympia hinge delivers the geometry and the look without compromise.
