To the uninitiated , a hinge is a hinge . But of course , nothing could be further from the truth . Hinges come in literally dozens of different styles , shapes and sizes .

There are barrel hinges and piano hinges , ball bearing hinges and spring-loaded butt hinges . You can get hinges made from cold-rolled and stainless steel , aluminium , brass and bronze . All with different purposes , designed for use on different types and sizes of door , inside and out .

And then there are concealed hinges .

Concealed hinges were originally developed for cabinet makers to achieve a pristine finish on kitchen units , cupboards , wardrobes etc . Whereas traditional hinge designs are visible between the door and unit when closed , concealed hinges tuck neatly away on the inside panel . With use of a double pivot arm , they are able to move a door out in the traditional arc without needing to be visible when the door is closed .

As with all hinge types , concealed hinges have evolved over time . There are now dozens of variations available on the market . But most manufacturers still stick to that core original purpose - making concealed hinges for standard cabinets .

The variations tend to focus on opening angles . So sure , if you ’ re looking for absolute precision in how your cabinet door opens - 90 ^o , 100 ^o , 120 ^o , 160 ^o - you are spoilt for choice .

But what about if you want a concealed hinge for a non-standard cabinet door size ? Something thicker , heavier or larger than usual ? What if you want a concealed hinge for use outside , in a garden kitchen for example , or in a cabinet under a sink , and you want to be sure they won ’ t corrode and wear over time when exposed to moisture ?

No hidden agenda - just solutions for every need

At Sugatsune , our focus is on supplying concealed hinges for as wide a range of applications as possible , for different sized doors in different situations .

For example , we offer models specially designed for thicker doors . Our groundbreaking Olympia 360 concealed hinge , which features our patented LAPCON adjustable rotary damper system , comes in both standard and heavy duty versions ( the Olympia H360 ).

The benefit of the adjustable rotary damper is that it lets you set the torque to match the weight of the door , providing perfectly smooth , controlled close for doors big and small . Our Olympia hinges are categorised by height of the door , up to 2400mm full length wardrobe doors .

Our standard Olympia hinges are designed for doors with a maximum thickness of 20mm and a maximum material density of 0.6kg / m ² . For the largest wardrobe doors , that translates into a maximum load of 18kg .

But sometimes you want a door that is thicker than 20mm for greater durability . A thicker door , however , adds more weight . For most manufacturers , the solution is to add more hinges . But this complicates hanging .

That ’ s why we developed the Olympia H360 range . The same premium close control in a concealed hinge , but for thicker , heavier doors . H360 hinges are designed for doors up to 30mm thick . So for a full length wardrobe , that pushes the maximum load capacity up to 26kg . And you still only need two or three hinges .

But what about even larger doors , especially those that are wider than standard cabinet widths ? As mentioned , the Olympia range is suitable for doors up to 600mm in width . Anything wider creates different load forces . For that , you need an even more robust hinge .

Enter the J95 . With a unique design developed to increase the load bearing capacity of a concealed hinge , the J95 works for doors up to 900mm in width with 3 hinges . Two hinges can support doors up to 25kg in weight , three hinges can handle up to 40kg .

Finally , our 100 series stainless steel concealed hinges are perfect for environments where corrosion from moisture is a concern . So for sink cabinets in the bathroom , kitchen or utility room , for units built into garages and outhouses , or as mentioned , for garden kitchens , summer houses or outdoor storage units , our stainless steel concealed hinges guarantee long-lasting performance in all environments .

So there we have it , concealed hinges unbound , the Sugatsune way - a range of solutions to suit every situation , with premium quality and performance guaranteed . Contact our sales team today to get matched with the ideal option for your requirements .
