The Sugatsune 180SUS is a 304 stainless steel concealed Euro hinge built for 3/4 inch overlay doors on frameless cabinets, with integrated soft-close and a screw-on mount engineered to hold up in demanding environments.
Most concealed hinges are plated steel, and plating is adequate for a dry kitchen cabinet well away from moisture. This hinge is different. The 180SUS body is solid 304 stainless, which is the material specification that matters in commercial kitchens, wet bars, outdoor kitchen enclosures, marine cabinetry, lab environments, and any other installation where condensation, cleaning chemicals, or ambient humidity would eventually lift a nickel or chrome finish. The 35mm cup bores into the back of the door in the standard way, and the arm fastens to a base plate on the cabinet side, ordered separately. The screw-on mount seats firmly without the quick-release mechanism of a clip system, trading door-removal convenience for connection strength and long-term stability.
Sugatsune built the 180SUS series around the premise that the hinge material should match the environment, not fight it. 304 stainless carries the same corrosion resistance throughout the body, not just on the surface, so it holds its appearance and its mechanical performance when the finish on a plated hinge would have failed. The soft-close mechanism is integrated into the hinge, so the damping action is part of the body rather than an add-on component that would need to be sourced and matched separately. The overall result is a hinge that reads cleanly in stainless-heavy design schemes and performs consistently in the conditions those schemes typically involve.
This hinge is the right call when the design or the environment rules out standard plated steel. Architects and designers specifying marine-grade or commercial wet-area casework reach for 304 stainless because the material requirement is explicit. Custom cabinet shops building for restaurant, hospitality, or healthcare clients use it to meet environment standards that a chrome-plated hinge will not satisfy over time. Homeowners installing cabinets in a pool house, boat galley, or outdoor kitchen enclosure will find that the stainless finish holds where plated alternatives corrode. It mounts to frameless cabinet boxes and pairs with the matching Sugatsune base plate, sold separately. For doors thicker than about 22mm or applications that need more than 105 degrees of swing, a different hinge series is the correct fit.
No. This concealed hinge requires a separate base plate that mounts to the cabinet side. Use the matching Sugatsune plate for this series; plates are brand-specific and a plate from another manufacturer will not connect to this hinge correctly.
Plated-steel hinges carry a surface finish over a steel body. In high-humidity, wet, or chemically exposed environments that plating can corrode or delaminate over time. Solid 304 stainless resists corrosion through the full body, not just at the surface, making it the right material for marine, commercial, or outdoor applications.
That depends on the door's height, width, and weight, and the 11 lb per pair weight rating is the load figure to work from. As a general guide, doors up to about 40 inches typically use two hinges, with taller or heavier doors requiring more. Use the manufacturer's load table to confirm the count for your specific door.
Correct. A screw-on hinge does not have the quick-release lever of a clip-on hinge. Door removal requires unscrewing the hinge from the plate. The trade-off is a more permanent, mechanically stable connection suited to the demanding environments this hinge is designed for.
Specify the 180SUS when the installation demands a hinge that holds its finish and its function in conditions that would compromise plated steel, and the soft-close, frameless geometry, and 304 stainless body all need to come from one part.
