More recently, we have extended this innovative design to the LDD-V100, a door damper capable of holding ultra- heavy interior doors weighing up to 100kg. When paired with our HES concealed hinges, the LDD-V100 forms part of a unique solution - impeccable soft close control for interior doors with no components visible in the closed position. Pristine appearance The LDD range underlines how our design values reach beyond straightforward functionality. We understand that, to our customers in the interior design and architecture trade, in furniture manufacture and in industrial equipment supply, appearances matter. In maximising the choices available to our customers, we are therefore always thinking about how we can create components that look as great as they work. Push-to-open is a concept that delivers simplicity combined with a minimalist contemporary aesthetic. Our so-called ‘touch latches’ require no handle, with a light push to the door itself all that is required to open and close. While there is nothing wrong with handles and pulls per se - and we manufacture and sell an extensive range of them, with a heavy emphasis on premium quality design - not needing a handle at all again adds to the options available. We supply touch latches in two types, magnetic and non- magnetic. Our magnetic types provide strong, durable hold, passing up to 50,000 open/close cycle tests. The ML-ZN80, a heavy-duty version designed for use on full length cabinet doors, is the only product available on the market that can provide push-to-open functionality for the kind of heavyweight doors found on walk-in closets and concealed partitions. Our non-magnetic touch latches use a simple catch mechanism on the counter plate to hold a closed door in place. Lighter in weight and requiring a smaller push force to activate than magnetic equivalents, they are ideal for small to medium sized cabinets. The ESN-195 mini touch latch, which weighs just over 2g, provides a strong retaining force that belies its size and is ideal for use on small flaps such as bin lids where durable hold is still required. Premium function married with flawless form - that’s the Sugatsune way.
