Why Choose Our Hinges?
Sugatsune constantly innovates to allow you to develop creative products that suit your needs. Although we specialize in stainless steel products, we use other common materials like brass, zinc alloy, plastic, and aluminum for our hinges. Overall, our hinges are made from 22 different materials with 27 different finishes to ensure you get something for your project regardless of scope or industry. The variety of finishes also ensures you maintain the aesthetics of your structures and furniture for functionality.
Some of our hinges, like the HG-JV65 Series, feature our soft-close and self-close technology. That means the hinge closes in a slow and controlled manner to eliminate squeaks and slams. It also closes without any external force once it attains an angle of 35 degrees from its closed position.
In the unlikely event that you desire a cabinet hinge or door hinge that we do not stock, we will gladly work with you to develop a custom solution. We take great pride in creating innovative industrial hardware solutions, an excellent opportunity to expand our product line.

FAQs
Are Sugatsune's soft-close hinges suitable for outdoor or corrosive environments?
Those hinges that are crafted from 304 and 316 grade stainless steel hinges are designed to withstand the elements. Products like the popular 304B concealed hinge, and the new 180SUS which is a soft-closing, stainless steel Euro hinge, have passed 500-hour, ISO9227 salt water tests reflecting their durability and reliability in the outdoors.
Can Sugatsune's hinges be installed in retrofit applications where mortising is not possible?
This, of course, depends on the application, type of opening, and what hinge you desire to use. Many of our cabinet and furniture hinges can be surface mounted, but we recommend reviewing the catalog page for each respective product or calling one of our technical experts at (800) 562-5267 to be sure.
How do I calculate the required torque or number of hinges needed to support a heavy cabinet door or lid using a friction hinge?
The simplest way to calculate the torque of the door or lid in your project is to use the following formula:
Torque = (Door Weight × Distance of the flap from the hinge to the edge) ÷ 2
