With a rich history spanning over 90 years, Sugatsune have earned worldwide recognition for innovation, quality, and reliability. Their commitment to craftsmanship and customer satisfaction drives them to continually develop innovative solutions that enhance the functionality and aesthetics of spaces.

The latest offering in their architectural range includes the ALT-ST20 and ALT-ST15. The ALT-ST20 system has been designed with both the manufacturer and consumer in mind. Capable of handling panels from 1600mm to 2400mm high, up to 600mm wide and weighing 20KG, this is the perfect product for all your cabinetry needs.

What is a pocket door?

Pocket door systems allow for single or a pair of panel doors to be opened and then gives the ability to retract inside the cabinet resulting in an opening with minimal protrusion. With space becoming such a valuable requirement, the ALT-ST20 opens up tight spaces.

With most pocket door systems in the market, one of the key factors that drives people away is the cost of the hardware and the cost of installation.
One of the key focus points around the development of this product has been around ease of installation. Ultimately this means reduced manufacturing costs, opening up a wider audience. 

The range offers variations for both inset and overlay cabinets with soft close as standard. Both systems allow for easy adjustment with 5 angles in which it can be adjusted to.

The recent addition of an online selection tool also reduces the time needed for manufacturers to specify the correct hardware required for the project.
