Deltana Free Swinging Full Mortise Hinges, Screw-on Oil Rubbed Bronze - CH2525U10B

Deltana Solid Brass Cabinet Hinges For Fine Jobs

Deltana solid brass cabinet hinges give cabinet doors a solid, precise swing that suits woodworking projects where appearance and function both matter. These free swinging full mortise hinges sit into the cabinet and door so the leafs are recessed, which helps create a more finished look on face-frame or similar cabinet builds. The 2-1/2 x 2-1/2 inch size keeps the hinge compact, so it works well on smaller doors where a larger hinge might crowd the frame. The oil rubbed bronze finish provides a dark, classic appearance, which helps the hinge blend into darker stains or painted finishes. Ball tip finials are standard on these hinges, adding a more traditional detail at the hinge ends that complements face-frame cabinetry. Each hinge is part of Deltana semi-concealed hinges, so only selected portions remain visible when the door is closed, supporting clean cabinet lines.

Key Hinge Details That Support Cabinet Work

• The 2-1/2 x 2-1/2 inch hinge size keeps the hardware compact, which helps on cabinet layouts where stile width or rail spacing is tight, especially on smaller doors or narrower face frames.
• The full mortise mounting type places the leaves into recesses in the door and cabinet, which helps align the door edge to the frame and can reduce gaps when the mortises are cut accurately.
• Square corners on the hinge match straight mortise cuts, which lets installers use chisel or router setups without rounding corners, saving cleanout time on repetitive cabinet runs.
• Solid brass construction gives the hinge a substantial feel, which matters on cabinet doors that are opened frequently and where a metal-to-wood connection is part of the hardware design.
• The oil rubbed bronze finish provides a dark, muted surface, which helps hardware visually coordinate with bronze-toned knobs, pulls, or other bronze-finished cabinet components.
• Standard ball tip finials on the hinge add a turned detail at the ends, which suits traditional or decorative cabinet styles where the hinge tips remain visible along the face frame.
• Six holes on the hinge leafs distribute holding power across the mortised area, which helps keep the hinge seated in the wood when doors are cycled open and closed.
• The .093 inch hinge thickness provides a solid leaf section, which supports consistent mortise depth and helps maintain alignment between the door and cabinet frame over time.

Full Mortise Hinge Fit And Screw-On Mounting

This Deltana full mortise hinge is designed to be set into recesses in both the cabinet and the door, which helps the leaves sit flush with the wood surfaces when installed. The hinge uses a screw-on wood mount with #7 x 3/4 inch wood screws, so it fastens directly into the cabinet material for a mechanical connection. With six screw holes, load is shared across the hinge footprint, which supports alignment on cabinet doors that see regular use. The square corner pattern gives a straightforward layout for marking and cutting mortises, especially when using jigs or straightedge guides. As a semi-concealed hinge, parts of the hinge remain visible while other areas are recessed, which supports a mix of decorative and functional hardware on face-frame or similar cabinet work.

Using This Semi-Concealed Hinge In Cabinet Projects

Where This Deltana Full Mortise Hinge Fits

This Deltana full mortise cabinet hinge fits applications that call for semi-concealed hinges in a compact format. The 2-1/2 x 2-1/2 inch size suits smaller cabinet doors where large butt hinges might be oversized. Because the hinge is part of the semi-concealed hinge class, it works in layouts where a portion of the hardware is meant to show while other parts stay recessed in the mortise. The square corner design pairs well with straight-edged mortise work often found in custom cabinetry, millwork shops, or on-site installs using jigs. Solid brass material supports use in cabinet environments where metal hardware is installed into wood doors and frames as part of a permanent assembly. With an oil rubbed bronze finish and ball tip finials, the hinge can be matched visually with other bronze-finished cabinet components to keep a consistent look across a project.

Details That Support Repeatable Mortise Results

The full mortise mounting type of this hinge sets a clear target for mortise depth and outline, which helps installers repeat the same cut on multiple doors and frames. At .093 inch thick, the leaves give a known dimension for setting router bits or chisels, allowing the mortise to match the hinge thickness for flush seating. Square corners keep layout simple, since the hinge outline transfers directly to the workpiece without radiused edges, which can speed up runs when using templates. Six screw holes and the #7 x 3/4 inch wood screw spec give a defined fastener pattern, so drilling and driving can follow a consistent sequence from cabinet to cabinet. The free swinging action allows the door to move without built-in spring tension, which helps doors close under their own weight or with separate catch hardware, supporting predictable motion across a bank of cabinets.
