Nickel Concealed Hinge for 3/8" Partial Overlay Doors

The Sugatsune Olympia 360-26-9T is a free-swinging concealed Euro hinge sized for doors at a 3/8 inch partial overlay, with a nickel finish and screw-on mounting that suits both face-frame and frameless cabinets.

Key Features

• Free-swinging motion keeps the door at any position without spring tension or damping, making it the right base for push-to-open and touch-latch systems.
• 3/8 inch (9mm) overlay, half crank arm positions the door at a partial overlay, the geometry used where two doors share a single partition or stile.
• 105 degree opening angle provides practical everyday access suited to this partial-overlay geometry.
• Fits both face-frame and frameless cabinets when paired with the appropriate matching base plate, sold separately.
• Nickel finish on steel coordinates with satin nickel pulls, knobs, and other visible hardware across the cabinet run.
• Screw-on mounting with a standard 35mm cup bore and 45mm hole spacing fits common CNC boring setups.

Where This Hinge Gets Used

A 3/8 inch partial overlay puts the door over roughly a third of an inch of the cabinet side or face frame stile, the typical setup where two adjacent doors share one center partition. Each door takes a half-crank hinge, and both doors together make up an even, symmetrical pair. This hinge also fits single-door cabinets specified at a partial overlay rather than a full cover.

The free-swinging action means no spring pull and no built-in damping. The door stays open where you leave it, which is what push-to-open and touch-latch hardware requires. A separate soft-close adapter or integrated catch handles the close; this hinge supplies the motion only.

The 35mm cup bores into the door, and the arm screws to a Sugatsune base plate mounted on the cabinet. That plate is ordered separately and must match the Olympia series and your cabinet construction. Door thickness must fall between 15mm and 20mm (roughly 5/8 to 13/16 inch) for the cup to seat correctly.

Finish and Construction

The hinge is steel with a nickel finish. Nickel reads as warm and neutral, landing between the cooler tone of chrome and the yellow warmth of brass. In a cabinet run where the pulls, knobs, or other hardware are specified in satin nickel, this hinge keeps the visible hardware family consistent even when the hinge itself is largely hidden. The Olympia series is Sugatsune's workhorse concealed line, built to the standard 35mm cup format with a 45mm boring pattern that aligns with CNC programs already in use in most production shops.

Who Should Specify This Hinge

Cabinet shops running face-frame or frameless work where partial overlay is part of the design will find this hinge straightforward to bore and hang. Designers specifying handle-less fronts with push-to-open hardware need a free-swinging hinge at the right overlay, and this is one of the cleaner ways to get there. Contractors coordinating hardware finishes across a kitchen or bath can match the nickel to the rest of the visible hardware package. The 13.2 lb weight rating per pair covers standard cabinet doors in the thickness window; confirm the count against the manufacturer load table for taller or heavier doors.
