Nickel Self-Close Concealed Hinge for 3/8" Overlay Doors

The Sugatsune Olympia 360-C26-9T85 is a self-closing concealed hinge in a nickel finish, built for 3/8 inch overlay doors on face-frame and frameless cabinets, with a screw-on mount and an 85 degree opening angle.

Key Features

• Self-close spring draws the door shut automatically over the final degrees of travel.
• 3/8 inch overlay, half crank arm positions the door at a partial overlay, suited for shared partitions and partial-overlay face-frame work.
• 85 degree opening gives controlled swing clearance, the correct geometry for this overlay and cabinet configuration.
• Screw-on mount fastens directly to the cabinet with wood screws, no tool-free system holes required.
• Nickel finish on steel delivers a clean, neutral look that pairs naturally with brushed hardware across a project.
• Works on face-frame and frameless cabinets, paired with a matching Sugatsune base plate, sold separately.

Where This Hinge Belongs

A 3/8 inch overlay sits the door over the cabinet side by just under half an inch, a partial-overlay position most common where two doors share a center partition and each door covers roughly half of it. The half crank arm geometry carries exactly that position, and the 85 degree opening is the correct swing for this configuration, not a shortcoming. It gives the door enough clearance to open fully for everyday access while keeping the geometry right for the overlay.

The 35mm cup bores into the back of the door at a standard 11mm depth, with a 45mm boring pattern for the side fasteners. The hinge then clips to a Sugatsune base plate mounted to the cabinet, ordered separately. That plate must be matched to this hinge and to your cabinet construction. Plates are brand-specific: a Sugatsune Olympia hinge connects to Sugatsune Olympia plates only.

Nickel Finish and Steel Build

The nickel finish on this hinge reads as a warm, polished neutral, a step distinct from the cooler tone of stainless and the darker read of black nickel. On face-frame work where the hinge stays concealed, finish is mostly a matter of cabinet-side consistency, but for open shelving or glass-door adjacent cabinets where the arm is occasionally visible, nickel blends well with the brushed pulls, knobs, and drawer hardware that dominate most residential and light commercial projects. The steel construction handles the daily load of standard doors up to 13/16 inch thick, which covers the common 3/4 inch door stock with a small margin.

Who Should Specify This Hinge

Cabinet shops and finish carpenters working face-frame kitchens and bath vanities with a partial-overlay layout will find this hinge a straightforward fit. The screw-on mount is the right call for any cabinet that does not have pre-drilled 5mm system holes, and for installers who prefer a fastened connection over a press-in plate. It suits frameless boxes as well when the plate is mounted with screws. Homeowners replacing existing partial-overlay hinges on a face-frame cabinet can use this as a direct substitute, provided the existing cup bore is 35mm with 45mm hole spacing. For doors thicker than 13/16 inch, a thick-door hinge is the appropriate choice.
