Deltana solid brass cabinet hinges come in an array of fine finishes with ball tip finials as standard, so this hinge provides a decorative look while handling normal cabinet door movement. The hinge is a free swinging full mortise design, which lets the cabinet door move through its swing without built-in friction or holds, useful when the door needs to move smoothly from open to closed. A 2-1/2 inch by 2-1/2 inch hinge size gives a compact footprint that suits many cabinet doors where a smaller, proportionate hinge leaf is preferred. The antique nickel finish delivers a muted metallic tone that coordinates with similar cabinet hardware finishes on the job. Being part of a semi-concealed hinge class, this hinge leaves some of the hardware visible while setting part of it into the mortise, which supports projects that need a traditional hinge appearance with cleaner lines.
The full mortise mounting type on this hinge means part of each leaf sits into a cut recess, which positions the pivot point closer to the cabinet edge so the door gap can be controlled more precisely. Square corners on the hinge work naturally with mortises laid out to the same shape, which suits installers who cut pockets using hand tools or square-cornered jigs. With six screw holes, the hinge can be fastened along more of the leaf, which helps the door stay aligned under normal cabinet use. The .093 inch thickness affects the depth of the mortise, so once the pocket is cut to that leaf thickness, the hinge face sits flush with the surrounding surface. The #7 x 3/4 inch wood screw callout ties the hinge to screws sized for common cabinet stock thicknesses, which supports a solid bite into the material while keeping the fastener length manageable on typical case construction.
The 2-1/2 inch by 2-1/2 inch hinge size places this model in a range suited to many cabinet doors rather than full-size entry doors, which matches jobs in kitchens, baths, built-ins, and furniture-grade casework. Being categorized as a semi-concealed hinge means part of the hinge remains visible when the door is closed, so it suits projects where the hinge is intended to contribute to the cabinet's finished look. The antique nickel finish on the solid brass construction pairs with other hardware specified in similar tones, which helps carry a consistent appearance across knobs, pulls, and latches on the same run of cabinets. Ball tip finials as standard on the hinge barrels add a traditional decorative cap at each end of the pin, which can tie in with classic or period-style trim details in the surrounding millwork. Because the hinge is free swinging, it lets the cabinet door move without spring tension or detents, which supports applications where door position is controlled by external catches or the user rather than by the hinge itself.
The solid brass material called out in the web description gives the hinge a non-ferrous base metal, which accepts the array of fine finishes and helps maintain that appearance along cut edges and around the ball tip finials during normal cabinet service. The full mortise mounting type defines how to lay out both the door and frame edges, so once a pattern is set for a given door size, an installer can repeat that mortise and rely on the same reveal and swing each time. Square corners simplify transferring hinge dimensions directly to the workpiece, which keeps scribe lines straightforward and helps reduce layout time for multiple identical doors. The .093 inch thickness provides a known leaf gauge, which means depth settings on cutting tools can be dialed in and reused across a job for consistent flush mounting. With six screw holes sized for #7 x 3/4 inch wood screws, each hinge leaf can be anchored at several points, which supports door alignment because the load is spread rather than concentrated at only a few fasteners. As part of Deltana solid brass cabinet hinges offered in various finishes, this antique nickel model can be matched with other hinges from the same line, which helps keep hinge geometry familiar while varying only the surface finish from project to project.
The CH2525U15A is a Deltana solid brass cabinet hinge classified as a semi-concealed full mortise hinge, which suits cabinet doors where part of the hinge remains visible.
This hinge is listed as 2-1/2 inch by 2-1/2 inch, which places it in a compact size range suited to many cabinet door applications.
This hinge uses a full mortise mounting type, so the leaves sit into matching recesses in the cabinet door and frame for a flush-mounted installation surface.
Square corners match mortises cut with straight-edged tools, allowing clean, square pockets and simplifying layout for installers who work from rectangular hinge outlines.
The .093 inch thickness determines mortise depth, so setting cutting tools to that gauge helps each hinge leaf sit flush and keeps door alignment consistent.
This Deltana hinge is specified for #7 x 3/4 inch wood screws, which match the hinge leaf thickness and suit common cabinet material thicknesses.
The Deltana Enterprises CH2525U15A hinge combines a 2-1/2 inch by 2-1/2 inch leaf size, full mortise mounting, and square corners with solid brass construction and an antique nickel finish, giving cabinet projects a consistent look and established geometry.
