Youngdale 1/2 Inch Overlay Pin Hinge For Cabinet Doors
Youngdale 1/2 inch overlay pin hinge is a semi-concealed, free swinging hinge designed for cabinet doors that need a 1/2 inch overlay on a face frame. This hinge is a Youngdale self-locking pin hinge, so the hinge design supports a stable door position during everyday use. The hinge is completely hidden from frontal view when used with a door edge that is a minimum of 7/16 inch thick, which keeps the cabinet face clean while the hinge works behind the edge. As a semi-concealed hinge, it leaves only minimal hardware visible, which matters when matching existing jobs. The rubbed bronze finish provides a dark, traditional look that pairs with other rubbed bronze hardware on the same project to keep the installation visually consistent.
Key Pin Hinge Details That Support Cabinet Work
- The 1/2 inch overlay design sets the door overlay dimension, giving a predictable reveal when laying out face frame cabinets that match existing runs.
- The free swinging hinge style lets the door move through its opening arc without spring resistance, which suits applications where door motion is controlled by the user or by catches.
- The semi-concealed hinge classification means most of the hinge sits inside the cabinet structure, so the visible hardware on the face frame remains limited.
- The rubbed bronze finish coordinates with rubbed bronze pulls or knobs, helping the overall hardware set read as one system on built-in or furniture-grade work.
- The Youngdale Manufacturing Corporation brand and 6DS-200.RB part number give a repeatable reference, which supports future service work or matching additional cabinets to the same hinge style.
Installation And Adjustment Details For This Hinge
The Youngdale self-locking pin hinge uses screw-on mounting, so the hinge fastens directly with screws during installation. The door wings are double slotted for easy door adjustment, which lets the installer shift the door position within the slot range to align reveals after the hinge is mounted. All hinges have eight #6 x 5/8 inch screws in their installation specification, so the screw size and length are matched to the hinge design and typical cabinet materials. The hinge is completely hidden from the frontal view when paired with a door edge that is a minimum of 7/16 inch thick, which guides layout choices for door construction when planning a concealed look on the finished face.
Using This Youngdale Hinge In Cabinet Projects
Where This 1/2 Inch Overlay Hinge Fits Best
This Youngdale free swinging 1/2 inch overlay pin/knife hinge is intended for cabinet doors set on face frames, where the 1/2 inch overlay dimension sets a consistent coverage over the frame. The hinge works with doors that have an edge thickness of at least 7/16 inch, which allows the hinge to stay completely hidden from frontal view and keeps the hardware working behind the edge. The opening angle can reach about 125 degrees with 5/8 inch thick double doors on a 1-1/4 inch face frame, which gives useful access in tighter frame conditions. On a 1-1/2 inch face frame with 5/8 inch thick double doors, the opening angle can reach about 150 degrees, which allows doors to swing farther for easier interior reach on wider frames.
How Hinge Design Supports Alignment And Repeatability
The double slotted door wings provide adjustment room at the screw locations, so small shifts in door position can be made to fine-tune reveals along the frame and between double doors. As a self-locking pin hinge, the Youngdale design supports consistent operation each time the door is opened and closed, which matters for cabinets that see regular daily use. The semi-concealed configuration places much of the hinge within the cabinet structure while the rubbed bronze finish on visible areas coordinates with other rubbed bronze components in the space, keeping a uniform appearance from job to job. The specified opening angles on different face frame widths give a reliable guide when setting cabinet depth and nearby clearances around doors that need 125-degree or 150-degree swing for access.
