Deltana solid brass cabinet hinges provide a compact 2-1/2 x 1-11/16 hinge layout that supports smaller cabinet doors where space is tight and consistent alignment matters. The full mortise mounting style seats the hinge leaves flush in the door and frame, helping create a neat, semi-concealed look on face-frame cabinets. A satin nickel finish over the solid brass construction delivers a subdued metallic appearance that coordinates with many modern and transitional cabinet pulls. The design as a semi-concealed hinge class means part of the hinge remains visible, giving installers a predictable visual reference while the leaf edges stay recessed. Ball tip finials are standard on these hinges, adding a finished end detail that suits traditional and upscale cabinet projects without changing the basic installation steps.
The full mortise mounting style on this Deltana full mortise hinge lets both leaves recess into the edge of the cabinet door and the face-frame stile, so the barrel becomes the main visible element. Square corners tie directly to straight-routed pocket geometry, allowing a rectangular mortise without corner rounding. Leaf thickness at .093 inch defines the mortise depth, guiding how deeply to cut so the hinge sits flush and the door reveals stay even. Six mounting holes per hinge work with #7 x 3/4 inch wood screw sizing, giving clear guidance for pilot hole choice and bite depth into typical cabinet stock. As a semi-concealed face-frame hinge, the mounting layout supports repeatable positioning across multiple openings on a run of cabinets.
This hinge belongs to the semi-concealed face-frame hinges category, so it is aimed at cabinet projects that use a face-frame construction rather than full-overlay frameless layouts. The 2-1/2 x 1-11/16 overall size suits many cabinet doors where rail width and stile width limit hardware footprint, allowing mounting without crowding neighboring hinges. A full mortise mounting type means each leaf is set into the edge of the door and frame, which helps the door edge align predictably to the face-frame front. Square corners on the hinge leaves tie directly to square-cut mortises, which benefits installers who prefer routing rectangular pockets rather than working around radius corners. Being part of the full mortise hinges category reinforces that this hinge is designed for fully recessed leaf installation instead of surface mounting.
The solid brass construction of these Deltana full mortise hinges provides a base metal that works well with a satin nickel finish, giving a visually consistent surface that coordinates with satin nickel cabinet hardware on doors and drawers. Ball tip finials as standard deliver a finished appearance at each end of the hinge barrel, which helps tie traditional or decorative door designs together without needing extra trim pieces. With six holes in each hinge, fasteners can be distributed along the leaf length, which helps maintain door alignment by resisting twisting loads during everyday opening and closing. The .093 inch hinge thickness defines both the mortise depth and the reveal planning, so once the first opening is dialed in, the same settings can be repeated across a full bank of cabinets. The manufacturer part number CHA2517U15 identifies this specific satin nickel, solid brass, full mortise hinge, helping match hinges across future cabinet additions or service work.
The CHA2517U15 hinge measures 2-1/2 x 1-11/16 inches, which helps fit smaller cabinet doors and narrow rails while still giving adequate bearing area.
The full mortise mounting style recesses each hinge leaf into the door and frame, helping the barrel align cleanly and supporting consistent door reveals across multiple cabinets.
These Deltana full mortise hinges use square corners, which match straight-routed mortises and simplify layout when using standard router jigs or chisels.
The hinge is specified for #7 x 3/4 inch wood screw mounting, which guides pilot hole and depth planning in typical cabinet-grade hardwoods or softwoods.
The hinge is made from solid brass with a satin nickel finish, giving a sturdy base metal with a muted metallic look that pairs with satin nickel pulls.
These cabinet hinges feature ball tip finials as standard, providing a finished decorative end on the barrel that suits traditional and detailed cabinet styles.
