Nickel Finish And A Precise Half-Overlay Fit

The Sugatsune Olympia self-close hinge is a concealed European-style hinge built for 1/2 inch overlay doors on face-frame and frameless cabinets, finished in nickel and screw-mounted for a solid, lasting connection.

Key Features

• Nickel finish on steel brings a clean, consistent look to visible hardware in kitchens, baths, and built-ins.
• Self-close spring pulls the door shut automatically over the last few degrees of travel.
• 85 degree opening angle is engineered for the clearance conditions this hinge is designed to serve.
• 1/2 inch overlay, half-crank arm positions the door to partially overlay the cabinet side, including pairs sharing a center partition.
• Screw-on mounting fastens the hinge directly to the cabinet for a firm mechanical hold.
• Fits face-frame and frameless cabinets with the appropriate base plate, ordered separately.

Where This Hinge Belongs

A 1/2 inch overlay means the door covers part of the cabinet side rather than the full panel, the geometry you need wherever two doors share a single center partition or wherever a partial overlay is the specified look. The half-crank arm carries that positioning precisely. The 35mm cup bores into the back of the door, and the arm connects to a base plate mounted on the cabinet side or frame, sold separately. Because this hinge accepts both face-frame and frameless mounting, it works across a range of cabinet builds when paired with the right plate for the application. The screw-on connection means the plate anchors with wood screws, which is reliable on solid wood frames and panel sides alike.

Steel Build, Nickel Finish

The hinge body is steel, with a nickel finish that coordinates with other brushed or satin nickel hardware across a cabinet run. For a kitchen or bath where hardware finish consistency matters across pulls, knobs, and hinges, nickel here closes the loop. The maximum door thickness for this hinge is 13/16 inch, keeping it in the standard door range. For doors thicker than that, a thick-door hinge with deeper cup geometry is the right call.

Who Reaches for This Hinge

Cabinet shops finishing face-frame boxes with a partial-overlay door program will recognize this geometry immediately. It is also a practical fit for remodelers replacing hardware on existing partial-overlay cabinets where the nickel finish needs to match what is already on the job. The 85 degree opening suits applications where clearance is the governing factor, keeping the door from swinging into an adjacent wall, column, or appliance. Designers specifying a coherent hardware finish across a full kitchen will find the nickel option useful as the concealed complement to visible pulls and knobs in the same family.

Common Questions

A Consistent Nickel Look, Correctly Placed

Specify this hinge when a partial-overlay door program calls for a clean nickel finish, a self-close spring, and the confidence that the clearance angle is already worked into the design.
