Sugatsune Olympia Hinge For Controlled Cabinet Doors

Sugatsune Olympia hinge delivers an 85 degree opening angle that limits door travel, which helps keep standard-thickness cabinet doors clear of adjacent walls or appliances in tight runs. This concealed cabinet hinge design keeps hardware hidden, supporting clean cabinet faces in both face-frame and frameless layouts. The hinge is powered by a 5-Speed Lapcon adjustable damper, which manages the closing action so doors come to a controlled self-close instead of slamming. That damper design lets installers match the closing feel to door size within its rated load capacity. As a self-close 1/2 inch overlay hinge, it positions doors to overlap the cabinet front for common kitchen and bath layouts using that overlay standard. The hinge is part of the Sugatsune 360 Olympia series, tying it to a known family for matching across a project.

Key Olympia Hinge Details For Cabinet Projects

• The 85 degree opening angle controls how far the door swings, which matters when cabinets are installed near walls, corners, or tall panels where full-swing doors might strike adjacent surfaces or hardware.
• The 5-Speed Lapcon adjustable damper moderates closing speed, so doors settle into the self-close action instead of rebounding, which supports quieter operation and reduces impact on the cabinet case over time.
• Three-way adjustment for depth, vertical, and overlay allows fine-tuning of door position after installation, which helps align reveals, compensate for minor drilling variation, and straighten door gaps across a run.
• The clip on type connection is designed for easy installation, so once mounting plates are fixed the hinge cup and arm can be attached or removed quickly, helping with door removal, finishing, or final alignment work.
• Successful completion of a 200,000 cycles test demonstrates the hinge design has been proven through repeated open-and-close motion, which supports long-term use in frequently operated cabinet doors.

Olympia Hinge Adjustment And Installation Use

This Sugatsune Olympia hinge supports 3-way adjustment with the door installed, so depth, vertical, and overlay settings can be dialed in without removing the door from the cabinet. Depth adjustment of plus 1.5 to minus 2.5 millimeters lets the door face move in or out relative to the cabinet front, which helps flush doors with adjacent panels or appliance fronts. Vertical adjustment of plus or minus 2.5 millimeters shifts the door up or down on the cabinet, which is useful for leveling door tops across a bank of cabinets. Overlay adjustment of plus 0 to minus 4 millimeters changes how far the door overlaps the cabinet front, which helps equalize reveal lines between doors that share a stile or face-frame member.

Where This Sugatsune Olympia Hinge Performs Best

Applications Matching Overlay, Width, And Thickness

The Sugatsune Olympia hinge in this version is identified as a self-close 1/2 inch overlay hinge, so it is suited to cabinet layouts built around a half-inch overlay standard on face-frame or frameless cases. The load capacity rating of 6 kilograms, or 13.2 pounds, per two hinges means door weights in that range can be supported using a pair of hinges, which covers many standard cabinet doors. When three hinges are used, the load capacity increases to 10 kilograms, or 22 pounds, which serves taller or heavier doors within that rating. A maximum door width of 600 millimeters, or 23-5/8 inches, defines the span this hinge configuration is designed to support, which guides planning for door panel sizes. The hinge is intended for standard door thickness, and the listed maximum door thickness of 20 millimeters, or 13/16 inch, ties that thickness range to typical cabinet door construction in many shops.

Why The Olympia Hinge Design Supports Clean Results

The concealed cabinet hinge format keeps the Sugatsune Olympia hinge hidden inside the case when the door is closed, which supports uninterrupted exterior door fronts on completed cabinets. The clip on type connection between hinge and mounting plate lets installers hang doors after case installation, which streamlines workflow on larger jobs where doors and cases may be processed separately. Having 3-way adjustment available with the door installed allows final tuning during punch-out, which reduces rework caused by minor drilling shifts or case racking. The 85 degree opening angle still provides practical access to cabinet interiors while limiting the door swing, which helps maintain clearance in tight galley kitchens or bath vanities near side walls. The 5-Speed Lapcon adjustable damper slows the final part of the close, which helps protect standard-thickness doors and face frames from repeated hard impacts. The hinge having successfully passed a 200,000 cycles test signals durability under frequent use in residential or light commercial cabinet installations.
