Amerock self-close 3/8 inset face mount hinge gives face-frame cabinets a semi-concealed, self-closing action that pulls the door shut at the end of travel, which helps doors sit closed without extra catches. This Amerock Corporation hinge is built as a semi-concealed hinge for face frames, so only a small portion remains visible while the working parts stay hidden, keeping a cleaner cabinet look on finished jobs. The hinge uses a 3/8 inch inset design, meaning the door edge sits partially inside the frame, which supports traditional face-frame layouts found in many kitchens and built-ins. An oil rubbed bronze finish ties into darker hardware and trim, maintaining visual consistency across a run of doors. Steel construction provides a solid hinge body, which supports repeated opening and closing in everyday cabinet use.
This hinge is configured as a face mount hinge, so it attaches to the front surface of a face-frame cabinet, aligning with common frame layouts in many shops. The 3/8 inch inset dimension defines how far the door edge overlaps and sits into the frame opening, guiding layout when positioning the door on new or existing frames. A projection of 1-1/16 inches describes how far the hinge extends outward from the mounting surface, which helps when checking clearance to adjacent doors, trim, or interior pull-outs. The 2 inch width provides a compact hinge footprint on the door and frame, useful where stile width is limited. A length of 2-3/4 inches gives the hinge body a taller mounting span, helping distribute screw locations along the frame and door edge.
This semi-concealed hinge fits face-frame cabinet construction where the door is designed for 3/8 inch inset, supporting layouts found in many kitchen, bath, and built-in applications. The Amerock self-closing function supports everyday residential cabinet doors that benefit from a gentle pull-closed action, reducing the tendency for doors to sit slightly open. The oil rubbed bronze finish works on projects using matching dark bronze pulls and knobs, so hinges visually tie into the rest of the cabinet hardware. Face mount geometry suits cabinets built without European-style cup bores, allowing traditional frame-and-panel doors to be used while maintaining a semi-concealed appearance. The semi-concealed hinge class helps hide most of the hinge mechanism behind the door and frame, which supports a finished look that emphasizes door profiles rather than hinge hardware.
The 2-3/4 inch hinge length and 2 inch width define a rectangular mounting area, helping installers repeat screw positioning across multiple doors for a uniform hinge layout. The 3/8 inch inset measurement gives a clear reference point when setting the door relative to the frame edge, which supports consistent reveals from door to door. The 1-1/16 inch projection value indicates how far the hinge stands off the mounting surface in the open position, which matters when laying out adjacent doors or checking clearance to inside components. Steel construction provides a firm pivot connection, supporting smooth swing as the door opens and closes. The Amerock Corporation part number CM7128ORB clearly identifies this specific oil rubbed bronze self-closing model, which helps match hinges during service work or future cabinet expansions.
The 3/8 inch inset on this hinge suits face-frame cabinets where the door edge sits partly inside the frame opening, helping match traditional 3/8 inch inset door designs.
