Nickel Concealed Hinge for 3/8" Overlay Doors on Face-Frame and Frameless Cabinets

The Sugatsune Olympia 360-C26-9T is a self-close concealed hinge for 3/8 inch overlay doors on face-frame or frameless cabinets, finished in nickel and built to the Olympia series standard for long-term residential and commercial casework.

Key Features

• Self-close spring draws the door shut over the last few degrees of travel without requiring a damper.
• 3/8 inch overlay, half crank arm positions the door at a partial overlay, suited to doors sharing a center partition or single partial-overlay applications.
• 105 degree opening angle delivers reliable everyday access on standard cabinet doors.
• Screw-on mounting fastens securely to the cabinet with wood screws, no system holes required.
• Nickel finish on steel coordinates with nickel hardware across the cabinet and resists the wear of repeated handling.
• Works on both face-frame and frameless cabinets when paired with the appropriate matching base plate, sold separately.

Where This Hinge Fits the Job

A 3/8 inch overlay positions the door to cover the cabinet side by roughly 3/8 inch, the half-crank geometry used when two doors meet on a shared center partition or when the design calls for a partial-overlay look rather than a full cover. This hinge handles that configuration on either a frameless box or a face-frame cabinet, giving specifiers and installers a single SKU that crosses both construction types.

The 35mm cup bores into the back of the door, and the arm connects to a base plate mounted on the cabinet side or face-frame stile. That plate is a separate purchase matched to your cabinet construction and door position. Screw-on mounting means the plate fastens with standard wood screws, so no pre-drilled 5mm system holes are needed in the cabinet.

Door thickness for this hinge runs from 15mm to 20mm (approximately 5/8 to 13/16 inch). For doors outside that range, a different hinge series is the right call.

Nickel Finish Built for Frequent Use

The nickel finish on steel makes this hinge a natural match for nickel pulls, knobs, and other visible hardware in the same space. The Olympia series is built for the demands of production cabinetry and commercial casework, so the finish holds up under repeated opening cycles and the steel carries a weight rating of 13.2 lb per pair, drawn from the manufacturer load guidance for this series. Confirm hinge count against the load table for your specific door height and weight.

Who Reaches for This Hinge

Cabinet shops specifying a partial-overlay program in nickel will find this hinge consistent across a run: screw-on mounting works on both frameless and face-frame boxes without swapping hardware, and the Olympia series carries a reputation among commercial and residential installers who want a dependable Sugatsune product. It also suits contractors finishing out a renovation where the existing hardware palette is already nickel and a full-overlay hinge would not fit the reveal the design calls for. For doors where a damped, cushioned close is required rather than a spring pull, the soft-close version of this series is the appropriate choice.

Common Questions

Consistent Nickel Finish, Clean Partial-Overlay Result

Specify this hinge when the job calls for a partial-overlay door that closes on its own, on either cabinet type, finished in nickel to match the rest of the hardware program.
