Youngdale Free Swinging 5/16" Overlay Pin/Knife Hinge, Screw-on Rubbed Bronze - 5DS-PLY.RB

Youngdale Free Swinging Pin Hinge For Overlay Doors

Youngdale free swinging pin hinge is a semi-concealed pin/knife hinge that provides a 5/16 inch overlay, so it supports face frame cabinet layouts where the door overlays the frame by that amount. The Youngdale self-locking pin hinge design keeps the hinge engaged on the door and frame, which helps the door stay aligned during normal cabinet use. Because this hinge is completely hidden from frontal view when the door edge is at least 7/16 inch thick, it preserves a clean cabinet front while the hinge continues to handle the door movement. The semi-concealed hinge style keeps the functional hardware mostly out of sight, which is useful when matching visible surfaces to a rubbed bronze finish theme. The pin/knife hinge format supports free swinging operation so the door moves through its opening range without a built-in stop.

Key Pin Hinge Details For Cabinet Projects

• This Youngdale self-locking pin hinge is completely hidden from frontal view when used on a door edge with a minimum 7/16 inch thickness, so the cabinet face presents a continuous look while the hinge operates behind the door edge.
• The hinge provides a 5/16 inch overlay, which sets the relationship between the door and the face frame so layout work can follow a consistent overlay measurement across multiple doors.
• Door wings on this Youngdale free swinging pin hinge are double slotted for easy door adjustment, so minor shifts in door position can be made at the hinge instead of re-drilling or re-fitting the door.
• The rubbed bronze finish on this pin/knife hinge offers a dark metallic tone that coordinates with other rubbed bronze components, so visual hardware themes can carry across a cabinet run.
• Opening angle is 120 degrees with 5/8 inch thick double doors on a 3/4 inch face frame, so those door and frame combinations open wide enough for common cabinet access without stressing the hinge.
• Opening angle is 160 degrees with 5/8 inch thick double doors on a 1-1/2 inch face frame, which allows a broader swing in deeper face frame situations to improve reach into the cabinet interior.

Overlay, Adjustment, And Hinge Mounting Behavior

The 5/16 inch overlay of this Youngdale free swinging pin hinge defines how far cabinet doors extend past the face frame, which helps maintain consistent reveals when laying out multiple openings. Because the door wings are double slotted for easy door adjustment, the installer can shift doors slightly at the hinge, which saves time during fit-out and helps align margins without trimming. The self-locking pin hinge feature holds the hinge on the mounting surfaces during normal use, which supports stable operation once the hinge is fastened with the specified #6 x 5/8 inch screws. When the door edge is at least 7/16 inch thick, the hinge remains completely hidden from frontal view, which keeps attention on the door style and finish.

Using Youngdale 5DS-PLY.RB Hinges In Cabinet Work

Where This Semi-Concealed Pin Hinge Fits Best

The Youngdale 5DS-PLY.RB hinge is a semi-concealed pin/knife hinge in the pin/knife hinge category, so it suits applications calling for this specific hinge style within face frame cabinetry. With a 5/16 inch overlay and an opening angle of 120 degrees on 5/8 inch thick double doors with a 3/4 inch face frame, it supports typical kitchen or built-in cabinet door swings where moderate opening is adequate. In installations using 5/8 inch thick double doors on a 1-1/2 inch face frame, the hinge provides a 160 degree opening angle, so those doors can swing farther away from the cabinet interior to create a larger working opening. Because it is completely hidden from frontal view when the door edge is at least 7/16 inch thick, this hinge works well on cabinets where visible hardware is minimized and the rubbed bronze finish can coordinate with other non-frontal components.

Why These Hinge Details Support Consistent Results

The double slotted door wings on this Youngdale self-locking pin hinge allow easy door adjustment at the hinge, which helps refine door gaps and alignment after initial mounting and reduces rework. The 5/16 inch overlay value gives a clear reference dimension, so door sizing and hinge placement can be repeated across similar openings without recalculating offsets. The self-locking pin hinge action keeps the hinge engaged with its mounting points in normal use, which supports repeatable door motion throughout the hinge life. The specified opening angles of 120 degrees and 160 degrees for the listed door and face frame combinations define how far the doors will swing, which assists in planning adjacent cabinets or walls so doors clear surrounding structures. By remaining hidden from frontal view with a minimum 7/16 inch thick door edge, this semi-concealed hinge allows designers to emphasize door profiles and finishes while the rubbed bronze hinge continues to support door movement behind the scenes.
