Sugatsune SLUL-8 swing up mechanism is a vertical swing up mechanism designed for taller, heavier downward-opening doors, so it supports door projects that fall in the 11 to 17.6 lb door weight range. This mechanism uses a unique swing upward mechanism, which shifts the door from a downward-opening position to a controlled vertical open position, helping keep the front clear while the door is in use. The spring gently opens the door after pulling it forward 4-3/4 to 5-15/16 inches, or 120 to 150 mm, so the user transitions from closed to open with a short initial pull. A built-in soft close function prevents slamming, so the door moves into the closed position with reduced impact on the cabinet and hardware over time. Adjustable lift-assist feature refines the opening force to best match your door's size and weight, which supports smoother everyday operation for the finished installation.
This SLUL series lift assist mechanism offers 3-way adjustability, which lets the installer dial in door position after mounting the hardware to the case. Vertical adjustment of plus or minus 1/4 inch, or 6 mm, lets you shift the door height relative to the cabinet opening, helping align reveals and margins. Horizontal adjustment of plus or minus 1/8 inch, or 2.5 mm, shifts the door side-to-side, which helps match gaps between adjacent doors or align a single front to surrounding components. Tilt adjustment of plus or minus 5 degrees changes the angle of the door in the open or closed position, useful for correcting minor racking and achieving an even presentation with nearby cabinetry.
The SLUL-8 vertical swing up mechanism is specified for taller, heavier downward-opening doors, so it suits upper cabinets or work surface fronts that pivot down and then swing upward for access. Because the mechanism supports 11 to 17.6 lb door weights, it can be matched to medium-sized fronts built from common cabinet materials within that weight band. The unique swing upward mechanism moves the door away from the work area, which is useful in applications where the user needs an unobstructed opening while the door is held up. The spring that gently opens the door after a 120 to 150 mm forward pull helps in overhead or chest-height locations, reducing the effort once the user initiates the motion. The soft close action that prevents slamming suits environments where doors are opened and closed frequently, such as busy shops or residential kitchens, since it moderates closing speed.
This SLUL series lift assist mechanism uses an adjustable lift-assist feature so the opening force can be refined to the door's size and weight, which helps create consistent feel across multiple doors using similar construction. By tuning the lift-assist to the 11 to 17.6 lb door range, the installer can set a balance where the door stays controllable without feeling unreasonably heavy. Three-way adjustability provides another layer of control after installation, because vertical adjustment of plus or minus 1/4 inch, horizontal adjustment of plus or minus 1/8 inch, and tilt adjustment of plus or minus 5 degrees all work together to dial in final alignment. These adjustments let the hardware compensate for minor casework variation, so finished doors can be aligned to surrounding components for a clean appearance. Vertical, horizontal, and tilt adjustability also support small corrections over time, which can help maintain consistent reveals and smooth operation through regular use.
The Sugatsune SLUL-8 swing up mechanism is rated for 11 to 17.6 lb doors, so it is suited to medium-weight downward-opening fronts built within that range.
The SLUL-8 uses a unique swing upward mechanism that shifts a downward-opening door into a vertical open position, keeping the door raised while the cabinet interior is accessed.
The SLUL-8 adjustable lift-assist feature refines the opening force to best match the door's size and weight, so operation can be tuned to feel balanced for the specific front.
The SLUL-8 soft close function slows and cushions closing, so the door does not slam, which reduces impact on the cabinet and creates quieter operation.
The SLUL-8 swing up mechanism offers 3-way adjustment: vertical plus or minus 1/4 inch, horizontal plus or minus 1/8 inch, and tilt plus or minus 5 degrees for alignment.
The SLUL-8 mechanism uses a spring that gently opens the door after it is pulled forward 4-3/4 to 5-15/16 inches, or 120 to 150 mm, starting the assisted motion.
The Sugatsune SLUL-8 swing up mechanism from Wurth Baer Supply pairs a unique vertical swing upward mechanism with a defined 11 to 17.6 lb door weight range, making it a focused choice for taller, heavier downward-opening doors. Its adjustable lift-assist feature and 3-way adjustability - vertical, horizontal, and tilt - let you fine-tune both the opening feel and final alignment so the finished door operates smoothly and sits correctly in the opening. With the spring-driven assisted opening after a 120 to 150 mm pull and soft close action that prevents slamming, this SLUL series lift assist mechanism supports controlled, predictable motion on every cycle. Use these verified details to match the SLUL-8 to suitable door sizes and applications where vertical swing access and controlled closing are priorities.
