Sugatsune Olympia Concealed Hinge for Nickel-Finished Cabinetry

The Sugatsune Olympia soft-close hinge hangs 1/2-inch overlay doors on face-frame and frameless cabinets, with an 85-degree opening angle and a nickel finish that coordinates with polished and brushed hardware across a full cabinet run.

Key Features

• Integrated soft-close damps the door over the final degrees of closing so it settles quietly every time.
• 85-degree opening angle controls the door swing in installations where clearance is limited.
• 1/2-inch overlay, half-crank arm positions the door at a partial overlay, suited for doors sharing a center partition.
• Screw-on mounting fastens the hinge directly to the cabinet for a firm, reliable connection.
• Face-frame and frameless compatibility makes this hinge useful across traditional and modern cabinet construction.
• Nickel finish on steel blends cleanly with other nickel hardware across the same job.

Where the 85-Degree Swing Does Its Job

An 85-degree opening is not a compromise — it is the right geometry for cabinets set against a wall, beside a refrigerator or tall unit, or in any corner layout where a door swinging wider would collide with an adjacent surface or appliance. The Olympia hinge keeps the door within that arc consistently, so designers and installers can plan tight kitchen runs without leaving extra clearance for the door to clear. The 35mm cup bores into the door in the standard way, and the arm connects to a base plate on the cabinet, which is sold separately. Pair this hinge with a Sugatsune base plate matched to your cabinet construction and overlay position.

Nickel Steel Built for a Finished Look

The hinge body is steel in a nickel finish. That finish choice matters on jobs where the visible face hardware — pulls, knobs, and exposed hinges — is specified in nickel, because the hinge arm will be visible on glass-door cabinets or open-frame installations where the door swings past the cabinet face. Soft-close is integrated into the hinge, so no add-on damper is needed, and the damped close protects the finish and the door edge from repeated contact over the life of the cabinet.

Who This Hinge Is For

This is the hinge to reach for on kitchens, bath vanities, and built-ins where two adjacent doors share a center partition and each door needs a half-overlay position, or where a single door runs close to a wall and the 85-degree limit is the right call. It suits cabinet shops finishing a run in nickel hardware and contractors who want a screw-on hinge that does not depend on pre-bored system holes in the cabinet side. For doors thicker than 13/16 inch, move to a thick-door hinge in the Olympia line. For wider clearance in an open run, consider the higher-angle Olympia variants where the layout allows it.

Common Questions

A Controlled Close in Nickel, Ready for Tight Layouts

Specify the Sugatsune Olympia in nickel when the design calls for a quiet, damped close on partial-overlay doors and the layout demands a measured swing — delivered in a finish that ties the full hardware package together.
