Nickel Finish And A Precise Partial Overlay Fit

The Sugatsune Olympia is a soft-close concealed hinge for 3/8 inch overlay doors on face-frame and frameless cabinets, finished in Nickel for a clean, understated look that holds up in working kitchens and custom casework alike.

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, including doors that share a center partition.
• 85 degree opening angle is the correct swing for wall-adjacent and restricted-clearance cabinets where a wider arc would hit a wall or adjacent door.
• Screw-on mounting fastens directly to the cabinet without requiring pre-drilled system holes.
• Works on face-frame and frameless cabinets when paired with the matching Sugatsune base plate, sold separately.
• Nickel finish on steel coordinates with the full Olympia hardware line for a consistent look across a project.

Where This Hinge Belongs

This hinge is sized for 3/8 inch partial overlay doors, the geometry used when a door covers only part of the cabinet side rather than nearly all of it. That includes single doors on a partial-overlay run and pairs of doors that share a center partition, where each door overlays its half. The 35mm cup bores into the back of the door at a 45mm bore pattern, and the arm connects to a base plate mounted on the cabinet. That plate is a separate purchase and must be a Sugatsune Olympia-series plate; plates are not interchangeable across brands. The screw-on plate mount works on any cabinet side, face-frame stile, or frameless panel whether or not system holes are present.

The 85 degree opening is deliberate. At this angle, the door clears the cabinet front without swinging into an adjacent wall, appliance, or neighboring door. It is the right spec for wall-adjacent upper cabinets, columns flanking a refrigerator, and any run where swing clearance is tight.

Steel Build, Nickel Finish, Five-Way Adjustment

The hinge body is steel, and the Nickel finish sits in the mid-range of the Olympia palette: warmer than the cooler tones of stainless but without the darker contrast of black nickel. It reads as polished but not flashy, which makes it easy to coordinate with brushed nickel pulls, stainless appliances, or chrome fixtures in the same space. The five-way adjustment built into the Olympia series lets height, side, and depth be dialed in after the door is hung, so an even reveal is achievable across a full run without re-boring. Doors up to 13/16 inch thick seat correctly in the 35mm cup at an 11mm cup depth.

Designed For Contractors and Cabinet Shops

Reach for this hinge on projects that call for partial-overlay doors in restricted-swing positions, whether that is a wall cabinet beside an end panel, a flanking column, or any run where 85 degrees is the right call. It suits cabinet shops building face-frame and frameless boxes on the same order, and contractors who want a single hinge SKU that handles both cabinet types cleanly. For doors that need a wider swing where clearance is not an issue, the Olympia series offers other opening angles. For a full overlay application on the same job, an overlay hinge in the same Olympia Nickel finish keeps the look consistent.
