What Sugatsune makes
Sugatsune makes hardware for architecture, furniture and industry. Its furniture and architectural range covers:
- Hinges: concealed door hinges, cabinet hinges and torque hinges.

- Motion: lid supports and stays, slide rails and linear guides.
- Fittings: handles, pulls and knobs, hooks, catches and latches, locks, brackets and shelving systems, casters and levelling glides.
Sugatsune groups its motion hardware by the movement it gives: free-stop, soft, assist, detent, unique and multi-linear motion.
HES concealed hinges
The HES series is designed to be hidden inside the door and frame, so the hinge does not interrupt the design of the door. Sugatsune offers three families:
- HES1F: integrates into an 8 mm frame.
- HES2S: surface-mounted on the door frame for easier installation, with no cut-out on the jamb side for some models.
- HES3D: 3-way adjustable hinges in several sizes and load capacities; Sugatsune lists the HES3D-E190 as meeting fire-resistance standards.
Drawings and BIM for specification
Sugatsune product pages provide 2D CAD files in DXF and DWG, 3D models in STEP, X_T, IGES, SAT and 3D PDF, and processing and installation diagrams. Selected products, such as the HES3D-E190, also have BIM data in Revit format.
Who Sugatsune suits
Residential and hospitality projects with flush or hidden doors, handleless joinery and built-in furniture, where the hardware should be precise and out of sight.
