Wood Technology Free Swinging Overlay Glass Door Hinge, 170° Screw-On Chrome - 2254.002.010

Glass Door Hinge For Overlay Installations

Glass door hinge from Wood Technology is designed for overlay glass doors where a chrome finish and wide opening angle are needed on cabinets or display cases. The hinge mounts on the cabinet sidewall or at the top and bottom, so it works in vertical or horizontal door layouts. The hinge can be set up as self-locking, or the catch can be removed to convert it to a free-swinging action, giving flexibility in how the glass door behaves in use. Elongated screw holes allow the hinge position to be adjusted after mounting, helping fine-tune overlay and reveal. The hinge clamps to the glass with a rubber backed metal clamp screw, gripping the glass and resisting slippage during operation. It is built for glass thickness between 3/16 inch and 1/4 inch, with 9/16 inch side overlay and 1/8 inch top or bottom overlay when installed.

Key Details That Support Glass Door Work

• The hinge offers an angle of opening of 170 degrees, which lets glass doors swing wide to improve access to cabinet interiors and reduce interference during loading or adjustments.
• The amount of overlay is 9/16 inch on the side and 1/8 inch on the top and bottom, providing defined coverage that helps planners size face frames, door edges, and clearances around adjacent components.
• The hinge mounts on a sidewall or at the top and bottom, so the same part can serve different cabinet layouts and simplify standardization of hardware on related projects.
• The hinge is clamped to the door with a rubber backed metal clamp screw to prevent slippage, which supports consistent alignment of the glass over time during repeated opening and closing.
• The glass door max weight is 22 pounds and the recommended maximum glass door size is 39-3/8 inches by 23-5/8 inches, helping match hinge capacity to the planned panel dimensions.

Installation And Overlay Adjustment Details

This Wood Technology glass door hinge is a screw-on style, so it fastens to the cabinet structure through its mounting plate. Elongated screw holes in the hinge allow small shifts in position after initial mounting, which helps dial in the 9/16 inch side overlay and 1/8 inch top or bottom overlay. The hinge clamps to glass from 3/16 inch to 1/4 inch thick using a rubber backed metal clamp screw, so the grip on the glass is spread over a pad that resists movement. With mounting options on the sidewall plus the top and bottom, the same hinge format can be used in different cabinet orientations while keeping the defined 170 degree opening angle.

Using This Hinge In Cabinet And Casework

Where This Glass Door Hinge Performs Best

This Wood Technology free swinging overlay glass door hinge is suited for glass doors within the stated maximum of 39-3/8 inches by 23-5/8 inches and up to 22 pounds, aligning hinge performance to small and mid-size doors. The defined glass thickness range of 3/16 inch to 1/4 inch targets common architectural and cabinet glass sizes, so it fits many standard panels specified for display cases and cabinet fronts. Sidewall mounting supports typical vertical cabinet doors, while top and bottom mounting allows the hinge to work with doors that pivot off horizontal surfaces. The 170 degree angle of opening lets the glass move well out of the way of interior shelves and stored items, which is helpful when positioning objects or cleaning inside the cabinet.

Details That Support Repeatable Hinge Results

The self-locking design, with a removable catch to convert to free-swinging operation, gives control over how the door rests when closed or opened, so the same hinge can serve projects needing either positive catch or free-swing motion. Fully adjustable mounting via elongated screw holes provides room to shift the hinge slightly during layout, which allows installers to tune reveals and overlay without changing parts. The rubber backed metal clamp screw holding the glass spreads pressure through the backing material, helping the hinge maintain its grip and keeping the glass seated in the same position over repeated cycles. The combination of 9/16 inch side overlay and 1/8 inch top and bottom overlay defines how far the door covers the cabinet structure, supporting consistent visual lines when multiple doors are aligned along a run.
