Description
Sugatsune Inset Pocket Door Kit For Cabinets
Sugatsune inset pocket door kit is a pocket door hardware system designed to slide a cabinet door back into the cabinet on two slides, keeping the front clear when access is needed. The kit is classified as pocket door hardware for multimedia and workspace components, so it suits projects where doors need to move fully out of the way while equipment or storage stays accessible. A minimum cabinet depth of 22-1/2 inches defines the cabinet carcass size this system is built around, guiding case construction so the slides and retracted door sit inside the opening without interference. The specified door height range from 19-11/16 inches to 27-9/16 inches sets the workable door panel size, which keeps the system operating in its intended geometry for smoother travel. Brand identification as Sugatsune America signals a purpose-built pocket door solution with matched components.
Key Pocket Door System Details For Builders
- The inset pocket door system design lets the door sit flush in the opening before it retracts, supporting clean cabinet faces where fronts align with surrounding panels in built-in multimedia or workspace installations.
- Two slides manage the door movement, giving the panel guided support along both sides so travel remains controlled as the door transitions from closed position into the pocket cavity.
- The system uses 5-speed adjustable soft-closing dampers, allowing the closing motion to be tuned so the door slows at the end of travel, which helps reduce impact on the cabinet and door edges.
- Fittings in this ST15 S-Type configuration allow the door to retract further into the cabinet than the ALTST20-D360 series, opening up more front access to shelves or equipment in the cabinet interior.
- The inset pocket door system is sold per kit, aligning one part number with a complete matched mechanism for a single door installation on qualifying cabinet dimensions.
Inset Pocket Door Fit, Depth, And Slide Motion
The minimum cabinet depth of 22-1/2 inches defines how far back the slides and retracted door can travel, so carcass depth is planned around that measurement when laying out built-ins. The specified door height range of 19-11/16 inches to 27-9/16 inches keeps the door within the engineered limits of the ST15 S-Type mechanism, which supports consistent slide engagement from top to bottom. Two coordinated slides carry the door into the cabinet, and the synchronized board ties their motion together, so both sides move uniformly along the track. Adjustable soft-closing dampers with five speed settings control the end of the closing stroke, which can reduce door bounce and help the front settle into its inset position. Hinges and hinge mounting plates position the door at the cabinet front, then hand off the panel to the slides as it moves toward the pocket.
Using This Pocket Door System In Cabinet Projects
Where This Inset Pocket Door Kit Performs Best
This inset pocket door system is categorized under shelf, closet, and garage organization, as well as multimedia and workspace components, so it suits cabinetry where clear front access is valuable. Applications such as media cabinets, workspace storage, or equipment enclosures benefit from door panels that retract fully on two slides instead of swinging into the room. The fittings allow further door retraction into the cabinet than the ALTST20-D360 series, which creates a wider, more open front area for working with contents or displays. An inset configuration holds the door panel within the plane of the cabinet face when closed, supporting projects that require flush fronts alongside adjacent doors or panels. The soft-closing dampers help the door close into this inset position in a controlled way, useful where repeated operation is expected during daily use.
Details That Support Repeatable Pocket Door Results
The Sugatsune America branding and ALT-ST15-D360S-22 part number identify a specific ST15 S-Type pocket door hardware configuration, which helps maintain consistency across multiple cabinet runs using the same system. Two pocket door slides and a synchronized board provide coordinated movement, so both sides of the door travel together each time it is opened or closed. The 5-speed adjustable soft-closing dampers let installers fine-tune closing behavior around actual door weight and cabinet construction, which reduces the chance of slamming and helps protect hinges and slide connections. Hinges paired with hinge mounting plates set the pivot relationship between door and cabinet, which establishes a repeatable starting point before the panel retracts on the slides. The specified minimum cabinet depth of 22-1/2 inches and the door height range guide case and door sizing, which promotes repeatable performance when the same standards are used across a project.
