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 on exposed cabinet edges where appearance matters as much as movement. The 2-1/2 x 1-11/16 hinge size keeps the leaf compact, helping it work well on smaller cabinet doors where larger architectural hinges would crowd the stile. A polished nickel finish gives a bright, metal look that coordinates with other nickel cabinet hardware for consistent visual lines across a run of doors. As semi-concealed hinges in the Full Mortise Hinges category, these hinges sit neatly in the door and frame, leaving only the trim details visible and supporting clean cabinet faces.
The mounting type listed as full mortise means the hinge sets into cut pockets on both the cabinet door and frame, which helps keep door faces aligned with surrounding parts once the mortises are cut accurately. The 2-1/2 x 1-11/16 overall size keeps the hinge compact across the stile and rail, fitting typical cabinet door widths without overhanging edges. A wood screw size of #7 x 3/4 inch matches the hinge hole layout, so the fasteners bite into face-frame stock and door edges at a depth suited to standard cabinet materials.
This product sits in the Semi-Concealed Hinges product class, so part of the hinge tucks into the mortise while the barrel and finials remain visible along the cabinet edge. That semi-concealed layout suits face-frame cabinets where some decorative hinge detail is expected on the stile. Being classified under Full Mortise Hinges, this hinge is intended for situations where both the door and frame accept routed pockets, keeping metal surfaces flush with the wood. The 2-1/2 x 1-11/16 hinge dimension works on many cabinet doors sized for interior storage, helping installers match hinge scale to lighter millwork rather than heavy entry doors. The polished nickel finish listed in the description supports use on cabinets specified with nickel pulls and knobs, giving designers one more coordinated metal surface at the door edge.
The solid brass cabinet hinge construction referenced in the description gives the leaves and knuckle a stable base material, so once mortised, the hinge sits firmly in the pocket and resists minor edge bruising during fitting. Full mortise mounting keeps both leaves flush to the wood surfaces, which helps doors close without rubbing when the mortise depth matches the .093 inch thickness. Six holes in the hinge mean each leaf can use multiple #7 x 3/4 inch wood screws, giving several pull points into the stile and rail so the hinge resists twisting under daily door swings. Square corners on the hinge match straight-bit routing patterns, which lets installers route clean, rectangular pockets that meet the hinge outline without overcut arcs. The ball tip finials as standard create a defined end to the hinge barrel, providing a repeatable visual stop at each hinge location so multiple doors along a cabinet run share the same hinge detail.
The CHA2517U14 is a Deltana solid brass cabinet hinge in the Semi-Concealed Hinges product class, so part of the hinge is mortised while the barrel and ball tip finials remain visible.
The full mortise mounting type sets both hinge leaves into routed pockets in the door and frame, allowing the hinge to sit flush so cabinet doors align closely with surrounding surfaces.
The hinge is described as 2-1/2 x 1-11/16, so installers can size mortises and door edges to match this compact cabinet hinge footprint.
The .093 inch thickness defines how deep the mortise should be, helping the hinge leaf sit flush and supporting consistent gaps between the cabinet door and frame.
The hinge is polished nickel and the description notes ball tip finials as standard, so the visible barrel ends present a bright, finished detail at the cabinet edge.
The hinge uses #7 x 3/4 inch wood screw sizing, so fasteners match the hinge holes and bite into typical cabinet stock depths along the frame and door edge.
This Deltana full mortise solid brass cabinet hinge with polished nickel finish, square corners, and ball tip finials suits cabinet work that calls for semi-concealed hardware with defined visual details. The 2-1/2 x 1-11/16 size, .093 inch thickness, and six-hole layout align with standard cabinet door proportions and mortising practices. For projects using full mortise cabinet hinges in polished nickel, this CHA2517U14 model gives a consistent footprint and finish across a run of doors.
