Sugatsune Olympia Concealed Hinge for 3/4" Overlay Face-Frame and Frameless Cabinets

The Sugatsune Olympia 360-U26-19T is a concealed long arm European hinge in a Nickel finish, built for 3/4 inch overlay doors on face-frame and frameless cabinets. It opens to 105 degrees, closes with a self-open mechanism, and mounts by screw-on to a separately purchased base plate.

Key Features

• Self-open mechanism releases the door automatically when pushed, suited to handle-less door applications.
• 3/4 inch overlay, half crank arm positions the door to overlap the cabinet side by three-quarters of an inch.
• 105 degree opening angle provides full everyday access for standard cabinet doors.
• Works on face-frame and frameless cabinets for flexibility across cabinet types and construction methods.
• Nickel finish over steel coordinates with brushed metal hardware across kitchen, bath, and built-in applications.
• Screw-on mounting fastens directly and securely without clip mechanisms.

Where the Olympia Hinge Fits

This hinge is built for the 3/4 inch overlay position, the half-crank geometry used where the door overlaps the cabinet side by three-quarters of an inch. That includes single overlay doors on frameless boxes and face-frame cabinets alike. The 35mm cup bores into the back of the door, and the arm screws to a base plate on the cabinet. The base plate is sold separately and must match the Sugatsune Olympia series.

The self-open function is the defining feature here: the mechanism releases the door when pressed, making it the right hinge for handle-less fronts where a push-to-open approach is part of the design. Because it is a self-open hinge and not a self-close or soft-close hinge, the door does not pull or dampen shut on its own. A latch or catch keeps the door closed between uses.

Nickel Finish and Steel Construction

The hinge body is steel in a Nickel finish, a tone that reads as warm and brushed without the high contrast of chrome or the darkness of black nickel. In a kitchen or bath where the pulls, knobs, and other visible hardware carry a nickel finish, this hinge keeps the hardware palette consistent even after the door is opened wide. The 11mm cup depth suits standard door stock, and the door thickness window runs from 15mm to 20mm (roughly 9/16 to 13/16 inch).

Who Specifies This Hinge

Designers and cabinet shops specifying handle-less fronts will find this hinge directly suited to the application. It works on both frameless production boxes and traditional face-frame builds, so a mixed project does not require two different hinge families. Contractors doing finish installs on contemporary kitchens with integrated pulls or touch-latch systems should verify that the cabinet is fitted with a compatible catch before completing the install. For projects where a damped, quiet close is the priority rather than a push-to-open function, a soft-close hinge in this overlay and angle range is the better pick.

A Hinge That Earns Its Place in Handle-Less Design

When the design calls for handle-less fronts in a Nickel finish, on face-frame or frameless boxes, the Olympia self-open hinge delivers the mechanism and the finish in a single, field-proven part.
