The Sugatsune LIN-X lateral opening door system is designed for cabinet and wardrobe applications where traditional hinged doors or pocket door systems are not suitable.

Instead of swinging open or retracting into the cabinet, doors slide laterally across the opening on concealed, top-hung hardware. This makes the LIN-X system ideal for shallow cabinetry, appliance housings and joinery where internal pocket depth is not available.

The system features integrated soft-close action for smooth, controlled movement and is engineered to support a range of door sizes and weights depending on the selected system variant. Hardware is concealed within the cabinet structure, maintaining a refined, architectural appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a lateral opening door system?
