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

The Sugatsune Olympia is a concealed long-arm European hinge in a nickel finish, built for 3/8 inch partial overlay doors on face-frame and frameless cabinets, with integrated soft-close and screw-on mounting.

Key Features

• Integrated soft-close damps the door over the final closing arc so it settles quietly without slamming.
• 3/8 inch overlay, half-crank arm positions the door at a partial overlay, suited to shared-partition and partial-overlay configurations.
• 105 degree opening angle delivers solid everyday access on partial-overlay doors.
• Nickel finish on plated steel coordinates with brushed and satin metal hardware across the project.
• Works on both face-frame and frameless cabinets when paired with the matching Sugatsune base plate, sold separately.
• Five-way adjustment lets you dial in height, side, and depth after the door is hung.

Where This Hinge Belongs

A 3/8 inch partial overlay is the geometry of choice when two doors share a center partition, each overlapping its side of the panel by about 3/8 inch, or wherever a partial reveal is the design spec. The half-crank arm on this hinge carries exactly that position. The 35mm cup bores into the back of the door, and the arm connects to a Sugatsune base plate mounted to the cabinet. That plate is a separate purchase and must be matched to your cabinet construction and the Olympia series. The hinge fits both face-frame and frameless boxes, so it covers the mixed-construction realities of residential and commercial casework alike.

Door thickness for this hinge runs from 15mm to 20mm (roughly 5/8 to 13/16 inch), covering the standard range for cabinet doors in paint-grade and veneer plywood as well as solid-wood frames. Doors outside that range need a different hinge.

Nickel Finish and Steel Construction

The Olympia is plated steel in a nickel finish, a neutral tone that reads as neither warm nor cool and sits comfortably alongside brushed nickel pulls, satin chrome slides, and similar mid-tone metal hardware. Nickel in this line holds up to the repetitive motion of a soft-close mechanism, and the Sugatsune Olympia series is built for exactly that kind of daily cycling. The 13.2 lb weight rating per pair reflects the engineering behind a hinge intended for production and contract work, not just occasional residential use.

Who Reaches for This Hinge

Cabinet shops running mixed face-frame and frameless work will find this hinge straightforward to specify across both box types without switching lines. Designers coordinating hardware on projects where nickel is the finish standard get a concealed hinge that won't break the palette. Contractors who install pre-built cabinets appreciate a hinge with five-way adjustment, since it absorbs the small tolerances that accumulate in a full kitchen run. The 45mm bore pattern matches standard production tooling, so there is no retooling required at the CNC or boring station.
