Deltana solid brass cabinet hinges come in an array of fine finishes with ball tip finials as standard, giving cabinet doors a finished look that matches decorative hardware on face-frame work. The 1.5 x 1.5 inch hinge size keeps the leaf compact on smaller cabinet doors, which helps when laying out tight face-frame reveals. The solid brass construction provides a substantial hinge body, which supports consistent movement on typical cabinet door applications. The polished chrome finish delivers a bright, reflective surface, which ties in with other chrome components in the same installation. Being part of Deltana semi-concealed hinges, this hinge leaves part of the hardware visible, which makes finish selection meaningful in kitchens, baths, and built-ins. The hinge is described as free swinging, allowing the door to move without built-in resistance, which suits cabinets that depend on catches or latches for holding position.
The full mortise mounting type places both hinge leaves into the cabinet and door edges, which helps align the door with the frame plane on semi-concealed face-frame installations. The square corners on the hinge leaves align with square-cut pockets, which suits jigs or hand tools set for straight, clean corners. The 1.5 x 1.5 inch size keeps the mortise compact, which is useful when working near narrow stiles or thinner door edges on smaller cabinets. The .093 inch leaf thickness defines the mortise depth, guiding how much material is removed so the hinge knuckle sits correctly between cabinet and door.
The CH1515U26 designation identifies this 1.5 x 1.5 inch hinge in polished chrome, which helps match it to drawings and cut lists on cabinet jobs. As a semi-concealed hinge in the full mortise category, it suits face-frame cabinet doors where part of the hinge shows and part is set into the wood, balancing appearance with traditional joinery. The polished chrome finish pairs with chrome pulls or latches on cabinet fronts, helping keep a consistent hardware look across doors in kitchens, baths, or shop cabinets. Because the hinge is compact, it works well on smaller cabinet doors where larger architectural hinges would crowd the stile or look oversized.
The full mortise mounting style, combined with square corners, lets installers repeat the same hinge pocket layout from door to door using templates or shop jigs, which supports uniform reveals across a run of cabinets. The 0.093 inch hinge thickness sets a predictable mortise depth, helping doors sit properly when hinges are installed to consistent reference lines. With four screw holes per hinge leaf sized for #7 x 3/4 inch wood screws, each hinge spreads holding power into the door and frame, which helps keep alignment stable under regular opening and closing. The free swinging hinge action works with separate door control hardware, so the hinge focuses on smooth pivoting while other components handle closing or latching as designed.
The CH1515U26 is a Deltana solid brass cabinet hinge described as a full mortise, semi-concealed hinge, so it installs into mortised pockets while leaving part of the hinge visible on the cabinet.
The hinge dimensions are 1.5 x 1.5 inches, which keeps the leaf compact for smaller cabinet doors and helps when laying out mortises on narrow stiles or rails.
The full mortise mounting places the leaves into the door and cabinet edges, helping the door sit flush with the frame when the pockets are cut to the hinge thickness.
This hinge is made from solid brass with a polished chrome finish, providing a bright surface that coordinates with other chrome cabinet hardware.
The square corners match square-cut mortises, which works well with straight-bit routing or chisel work and avoids the need to radius the pocket corners.
The hinge uses #7 x 3/4 inch wood screws, aligning with common cabinet screw sizing and helping installers use familiar pilot hole and driving setups.
