Deltana solid brass cabinet hinges give a cabinetmaker a compact 2-1/2 inch by 2-1/2 inch hinge that supports small doors while keeping the hardware footprint tight, which helps when laying out face-frame and inset cabinet projects in tight spaces. The solid brass construction creates a dense, stable leaf, so the door pivots smoothly and the knuckle feels substantial during opening and closing over repeated use. These hinges are part of the semi-concealed hinges product class, so most of the body sits in the mortise while a consistent trim line remains visible, which keeps the door appearance clean while still letting the hinge define the reveal. Ball tip finials are standard on these hinges, giving the barrel a defined termination point that visually finishes the hinge edge across a run of cabinets.
The full mortise mounting type on this hinge places both leaves into cut pockets, so the brass surfaces sit level with the cabinet and door faces, which supports clean lines on face-frame and casework installs. Square corners on the hinge let the installer cut straight-edged mortises without rounding, which speeds layout when using jigs or straight chisels. With six hinge holes, the load is distributed along the leaf, so each #7 x 3/4 inch wood screw engages the cabinet material with moderate bite for typical cabinet door sizes. The .093 inch leaf thickness defines the mortise depth target, which helps set the door flush to the frame without excess shimming or back-cutting once the pocket depth is dialed in.
This hinge sits in the semi-concealed hinges product class, so most of the brass leaf is buried in the full mortise while a controlled portion remains visible, which works well on cabinet doors where a traditional hinge line is part of the design. The 2-1/2 inch by 2-1/2 inch footprint suits smaller cabinet doors, letting the hinge sit comfortably on narrow stiles without crowding panel profiles or adjacent hardware. With square corners and a full mortise mounting type, the hinge pairs naturally with routed pockets on face-frames and cabinet sides, supporting installers who prefer sharp-cornered templates over radius-cut recesses. The PVD polished brass finish gives the hinge a consistent polished brass appearance, which coordinates with other polished brass cabinet hardware on built-ins, vanities, and kitchen runs.
The CH2525CR003 manufacturer part number identifies this specific 2-1/2 inch by 2-1/2 inch hinge configuration, which lets shops reorder the same solid brass hinge for future runs and keep cabinet lines visually consistent. Ball tip finials are standard, so every hinge in a project carries the same finished barrel detail, which helps create a uniform top and bottom sight line along rows of cabinet doors. The .093 inch hinge thickness gives a predictable leaf dimension, helping jigs and depth stops produce repeatable mortises so hinges seat flush without additional tuning. Six hinge holes combined with #7 x 3/4 inch wood screws concentrate holding strength near the stile face, which is useful when doors are opened frequently and the hinge line sees regular stress. The solid brass cabinet hinge construction supports a smooth pivot at the barrel, so doors move cleanly on their axis, which benefits alignment when multiple doors must close along the same face frame.
The hinges measure 2-1/2 inches by 2-1/2 inches, giving a compact footprint that suits smaller cabinet doors and keeps the hinge from crowding narrow stiles.
The full mortise mounting sets both leaves into recessed pockets so the brass sits flush with the cabinet and door surfaces, helping maintain consistent reveals and clean lines.
The hinges use square corners, matching straight-edged mortises and working well with routed or chiseled recesses that do not require rounded corners.
The hinge leaves are .093 inch thick, giving a solid feel and setting a clear target depth for mortising so the hinge seats flush without overcutting.
The hinge is specified with #7 x 3/4 inch wood screws, so pilot holes and drilling depth can be matched to typical cabinet-grade materials.
The hinges feature a PVD polished brass finish, providing a polished brass appearance that coordinates with other brass cabinet hardware.
The Deltana full mortise cabinet hinge in solid brass gives installers a defined 2-1/2 inch by 2-1/2 inch footprint, .093 inch leaf thickness, and square corners, which streamlines mortising and alignment on cabinet projects. With ball tip finials standard and a PVD polished brass finish, the hinge carries a consistent visual detail along a run of doors. The CH2525CR003 part number ties these specifications together, so the same hinge can be specified whenever a semi-concealed solid brass cabinet hinge is needed.
