Sugatsune J160-D22 Series 1" Overlay Specialty Hinge with Soft-Close, Nickel Finish, - J160-D22-25T-NI

Sugatsune J160-D22 Hinge For Wide-Opening Doors

Sugatsune J160-D22 hinge is a concealed cabinet hinge designed as a specialty 1 inch overlay solution for doors that need a wide swing without obstructions. The hinge provides a wide-opening 160 degree opening angle, which lets doors clear adjacent cabinets or hardware in tight layouts. The product belongs to the J160-D22 Series from Sugatsune America, so it works within that family of European standard hinges when a 160 degree motion is required. This hinge is part of the concealed cabinet hinges class, which keeps hardware hidden from the front and maintains a clean cabinet face in finished installations. The hinge uses a nickel finish, giving the hardware a consistent appearance that matches other common nickel cabinet components. The product is specified under manufacturer part number J160-D22-25T-NI, which helps match it precisely when repeating a layout or duplicating an existing installation.

Key Hinge Details That Support Cabinet Projects

• The hinge offers 3-way adjustability, which allows precise alignment of the cabinet door in three directions and helps dial in consistent reveals across a run of doors.
• The built-in damper provides a soft-close action, which slows the door at the end of travel and reduces impact on the cabinet case over repeated use.
• The hinge has a load capacity of 55 lbs (25 kg) per 2 pieces, which supports medium-weight cabinet doors in pairs and helps plan hinge counts for stable operation.
• With a capacity of 88 lbs (40 kg) per 3 pieces, the hinge can handle heavier doors when three hinges are used, which matters on taller or thicker doors.
• The maximum door width rating of 31-1/2 inches (800 mm) for 2 pieces helps define workable door sizing so doors stay within the designed load range in service.
• The maximum door width rating of 35-7/16 inches (900 mm) for 3 pieces supports slightly wider doors when three hinges are installed, helping maintain smooth movement.
• The recommended door thickness range of 11/16 to 1-7/16 inches (18-36 mm) defines the door construction this hinge is engineered around, supporting consistent cup fit and strength.
• The cup dimension of 1-3/4 inches by 2-13/16 inches specifies the mortise size required in the door, which helps prepare accurate machining for the hinge cup.
• The hinge is finished in nickel, which provides a uniform visual match to typical nickel-plated cabinet hardware and maintains a professional look when doors are open.
• The wide-opening hinge allowing 160 degree opening gives extended access to cabinet interiors, which helps in applications where full-width access or pull-out systems are used.

Installation Details For Overlay And Cup Sizing

This specialty hinge is specified as a 1 inch overlay hinge, which means it is designed for door layouts where the door overlays the cabinet side by 1 inch and needs predictable overlay geometry. The recommended door thickness range of 11/16 to 1-7/16 inches (18-36 mm) defines the door construction that matches the hinge arm geometry and cup depth, which supports proper seating of the cup and stable screw holding. The cup dimension of 1-3/4 inches by 2-13/16 inches directly informs drilling patterns, so the required bore can be prepared before installation to match the hinge footprint. The wide-opening 160 degree function influences door clearance around adjacent components, helping plan cabinet spacing and inside hardware placement.

Using This 160 Degree Soft-Close Hinge In Practice

Where This Concealed Hinge Performs Best

The hinge functions as a wide-opening hinge allowing 160 degree opening, which works well on cabinets where maximum access to the interior is needed. In setups with pull-out trays or interior hardware, the 160 degree range keeps doors out of the way, so interior components can extend freely. The product is categorized under European concealed long arm hinges, tying it to frameless and European-style cabinet construction where hidden hardware and overlay control are important. The hinge is also listed as a concealed cabinet hinge within European standard hinges, which aligns it with standard cup boring practices commonly used in production shops. The 1 inch overlay specification defines its role in face geometry, making it suitable when the door needs to cover more of the cabinet side for visual or functional reasons on overlay cabinets.

Details That Support Alignment, Load, And Soft-Close

The 3-way adjustability with built-in damper allows fine tuning of vertical, horizontal, and depth positioning, so doors can be aligned to neighboring fronts even after carcasses are installed. This adjustability reduces rework because small case variances can be corrected at the hinge instead of rebuilding parts. The built-in damper that allows doors to soft-close slows the closing motion, which lessens noise and reduces stress on the cabinet structure over many open-and-close cycles. The load capacity rating of 55 lbs (25 kg) per 2 pieces and 88 lbs (40 kg) per 3 pieces helps define hinge spacing and count, supporting stable operation on both medium and heavier doors within those ranges. Maximum door width values of 31-1/2 inches (800 mm) for 2 pieces and 35-7/16 inches (900 mm) for 3 pieces link hinge count directly to door size, which helps maintain smooth travel and reduces sagging in long-term use. The nickel finish provides a consistent appearance that fits with typical nickel cabinet interiors, which is noticeable when doors are open during work. The combination of 1 inch overlay geometry, European standard cup sizing of 1-3/4 inches by 2-13/16 inches, and 3-way adjustment supports repeatable layouts when producing multiple cabinets using the same hinge specification.
