Deltana solid brass cabinet hinges come in an array of fine finishes with ball tip finials as standard, so each hinge provides a finished look that matches other decorative hardware on built-in or shop-built cabinets. The size designation 2-1/2 x 1-11/16 hinge sets the leaf proportions, which helps you plan door and frame layout on smaller cabinet doors or face-frame sections.

The hinge thickness of .093 inch sets a clear target depth for each pocket, which supports consistent inset and helps doors sit flush across a bank of cabinets. With dimensions of 2-1/2 x 1-11/16 hinge, the scale of the hardware suits smaller doors, so you can plan spacing and clearances in face-frame or casework layouts.
