Pro Value Series Free Swinging Overlay Institutional Hinge, Screw-on Dull Chrome - PROIH76-26D

PROIH76-26D Hinge For Institutional Overlay Doors

PROIH76-26D hinge is a semi-concealed overlay institutional hinge that supports projects where a durable, repeatable door swing is required on casework and cabinetry. The hinge is part of the Pro Value Series, so it fits common institutional hardware standards and helps keep component choices consistent across a job. A free swinging design lets the door move without built-in closing force, which suits applications where controlled or assisted closing is handled by other components or is not needed. The hinge has a dull chrome finish, giving a neutral, low-glare appearance that works well on functional installations. Being a 2-3/4 inch five knuckle hinge, it provides a familiar geometry for aligning doors and matching the look of existing semi-concealed hardware. As an overlay institutional hinge, it is intended for door overlays on the cabinet face, simplifying layout when matching standard layouts.

Key Details Of This Dull Chrome Overlay Hinge

• The hinge is designed for a 32 mm hole pattern, which matches common system boring layouts and helps speed up line boring, drilling, and hinge placement across multiple doors.
• The 2-3/4 inch five knuckle configuration creates a stable pivot point, supporting smooth free swinging motion and helping doors track predictably through the full swing.
• The hinge is made from .095 inch steel, providing a solid leaf thickness that supports demanding institutional use where doors are opened and closed frequently.
• The hinge has a dull chrome finish, offering a practical, subdued appearance that coordinates with other functional hardware and reduces visible fingerprints and glare.
• A hospital tip on the hinge design smooths the hinge end profile, which is useful in institutional environments that favor reduced snag points and clean, finished hardware lines.

Installation Details For This Semi-Concealed Hinge

This Pro Value Series semi-concealed hinge is designed for a 32 mm hole pattern, so it aligns naturally with system-bored cabinet sides and doors in institutional and commercial casework. That pattern helps keep drilling operations consistent from cabinet to cabinet, which is important when hanging multiple doors in a run. The hinge is screw-on, giving installers direct control over positioning during mounting and allowing fine adjustments by shifting screw locations within the prepared pattern. Recommended screws are #8 x 3/4 inch, which match the .095 inch steel hinge leaves and typical cabinet materials, helping achieve secure fastening in wood substrates. The hinge is designed for a door thickness of 13/16 inch, tying the hardware choice directly to the panel stock so the overlay and alignment land where expected on the cabinet face.

Using This Pro Value Series Hinge On Projects

Where This Institutional Overlay Hinge Fits Best

This semi-concealed overlay institutional hinge is designed around a 32 mm hole pattern, which ties it directly to system-bored institutional and commercial cabinetry. That design makes it a strong match where casework is produced on 32 mm line boring equipment and needs hardware that drops into those rows cleanly. The hinge suits door thicknesses of 13/16 inch, aligning well with thicker door constructions often found in high-use environments. With a 2-3/4 inch five knuckle configuration, it shares proportions with many institutional hinges, which helps when matching hardware style or replacing similar semi-concealed units on existing installations. The dull chrome finish provides a straightforward look that blends with other institutional hardware, keeping attention on function while still presenting a consistent, professional appearance across a room of cabinets.

The hinge uses .095 inch steel construction, which supports frequent door cycling typical in institutional, commercial, or shop spaces. A hospital tip on the hinge profile smooths the exposed ends, which aligns with environments that value reduced snag points along door edges and hardware. The hinge is free swinging, so it does not provide self-closing or spring closing; this suits installs where doors are meant to move freely or where separate closing control is used. The BHMA/ANSI Tested Grade 1 rating shows that the hinge has been tested to a high performance standard, which matters when hardware must support heavy daily use without frequent hinge replacement. The 4.8 mm pin diameter contributes to the strength of the knuckle assembly, supporting the pivot where doors see the most stress in repetitive opening cycles.
