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.
