Sugatsune NSDX-35LK Soft-down Stay Damper 60 Lb

Product Description

The SUGATSUNE NSDX-35LK is an adjustable soft-down stay damper designed to control the opening and closing motion of upward-opening flap doors and lids. It provides a smooth, controlled descent by dissipating kinetic energy as the panel lowers, preventing hard slams and reducing hardware wear. Rated for a 60-pound load capacity, the NSDX-35LK is built from steel and zinc alloy with a nickel finish. It is configured for left-hand installation. Carpenters, millworkers, and finish hardware installers typically specify this type of damper in cabinetry, furniture, and architectural woodwork applications requiring soft-close lid or flap control.

The NSDX-35LK is suited for residential and commercial applications involving upward-opening flaps such as cabinet lid stays, murphy bed panels, display case lids, and similar overhead-access assemblies. Its adjustable design allows the installer to tune the damping resistance to match the weight and size of the specific panel. The nickel finish provides corrosion resistance and blends with common contemporary hardware finishes. This unit ships as a single piece and is the left-hand component of a paired or standalone installation.

Key Features

• Adjustable damping force accommodates varying panel weights up to 60 pounds
• Soft-down action prevents hard slams on upward-opening flap assemblies
• Steel and zinc alloy construction with nickel finish for durability and corrosion resistance
• Left-hand configuration for proper orientation on applicable panels
• Overall length of 8.5 inches fits standard cabinet and furniture framing layouts

Compatibility

Designed for upward-opening flap door and lid applications. Consult SUGATSUNE documentation to confirm pairing requirements for right-hand or dual-damper installations on specific panel widths and weights.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a finish carpenter or architectural hardware installer using standard hand tools. Verify the panel weight does not exceed the 60-pound rated load capacity before installation. Mount the damper securely to both the fixed frame and the moving panel using appropriately sized fasteners for the substrate material. Confirm left-hand versus right-hand orientation before drilling to avoid remounting.
