Deltana solid brass cabinet hinges come in an array of fine finishes with ball tip finials as standard, so these hinges provide a finished look that supports consistent cabinet styling across a run of doors. The mounting type is full mortise, which seats the leaf edges into the door and frame for a clean semi-concealed appearance that helps cabinets read as built-in rather than surface-mounted. These hinges are part of Deltana free swinging full mortise hinges, so the leaves pivot freely and let doors open and close without spring tension interfering with the swing path. The hinge size is 2-1/2 x 1-11/16, which suits small cabinet doors where compact hardware keeps margins and reveals predictable. The brushed chrome finish ties into contemporary hardware schemes and gives a uniform metallic tone across visible hinge knuckles and finials.
The hinge size of 2-1/2 x 1-11/16 defines the leaf proportions, which helps layout work when spacing mortises along the door edge and face frame stile for repeatable results. Square corners on a full mortise layout make it straightforward to cut pockets with straight-edge jigs, then finish to the line with hand tools, keeping hinge seats tight without extra rounding. The .093 inch thickness keeps the leaf height predictable, so once the mortise depth matches the leaf thickness, the barrel alignment along the door edge remains straight. Using the specified #7 x 3/4 wood screw size means each hole is sized for cabinet material typical of doors and frames, which supports firm holding power without over-penetrating thin stock.
This product is classified as semi-concealed hinges and sits in the category Hinges|Semi-Concealed Face-Frame Hinges|Full Mortise Hinges, so it is oriented toward cabinet work where part of the hinge is recessed and part remains visible on the edge. The solid brass construction stated in the web description means the hinge body is made from brass, which is a common cabinet hardware material chosen for machinability and a refined appearance at the knuckle and finials. The brushed chrome finish applied to this solid brass hinge gives a muted metallic surface that visually pairs with brushed chrome pulls and knobs, helping maintain a unified hardware look on cabinet fronts. The free swinging description signals a hinge action that pivots without spring force, supporting standard cabinet doors that rely on catches or latches rather than self-closing mechanics.
The 2-1/2 x 1-11/16 hinge size listed in the SAP description ties directly to door proportioning, so once this footprint is accounted for, door edge setbacks and overlay decisions can be repeated across multiple openings. Having six hinge holes gives installers multiple fastening points in both leaf areas, which distributes stress when doors are opened to full swing and helps the leaf edges stay tight in their mortises. Square corner mortise geometry works well with shop-made jigs that guide routers or templates, allowing the same pocket outline to be used from cabinet to cabinet for consistent fitting. The .093 inch thickness provides a clear target for mortise depth, so once that depth is dialed in, both door and frame leaves sit flush to the wood surface, keeping the hinge barrel centered on the gap line. The manufacturer part number CH2517U26D uniquely identifies this brushed chrome version, which helps match hinges when adding doors to existing runs that already use this Deltana model.
The CH2517U26D model is a Deltana solid brass cabinet hinge described as free swinging full mortise, which suits cabinet doors that pivot on a recessed hinge without spring tension.
The 2-1/2 x 1-11/16 hinge size sets the leaf footprint, which guides mortise placement and helps keep door margins, reveals, and hardware spacing consistent along the stile.
The .093 inch thickness defines how deep to cut the mortise, so when pockets match this depth the leaves sit flush and the hinge barrel aligns cleanly along the edge gap.
Square corners match straight-edged mortise cuts, letting installers use simple chisel or router layouts and reducing the need to round pocket corners to fit the leaves.
Six hinge holes spread the load across multiple #7 x 3/4 wood screw locations, which supports the door during repeated use and helps keep the hinge seated in its mortise.
The brushed chrome finish on this solid brass cabinet hinge provides a muted metallic appearance that coordinates with brushed chrome cabinet hardware on face frames and doors.
The Deltana Free Swinging Full Mortise Hinges, Screw-on Brushed Chrome - CH2517U26D pairs a 2-1/2 x 1-11/16 footprint with .093 inch thick solid brass leaves, giving installers a defined template for clean mortises.
