Sugatsune Aileron Lift-Assist 

Soft-Close Hinge Set

1) This system mounts onto a 35 mm hinge set 

from Sugatsune. Determine the spacing of the 

hinges and mark their locations by drawing a 

centerline for each hinge component.

4) Reset the depth of the combo square to 19 

millimeters. 

2) Set the depth of the combo square to 20.5 mil-

limeters. Here  the measurement is transfered to 

a combo square.

5) Draw a wide cross mark on the hinge center-

lines on the cabinet body. These will locate the 

hinge plates. 

3) Place a cross mark on each hinge centerline 

on the lid. This will locate the cup hinges on the 

inside of the cabinet lid.

6) Reset the combo square to 118 mm. Choose 

which side to mount the lid stay. Extend that 

hinge centerline and mark a cross line where the 

lid stay will attach to the lid.
