Deltana solid brass cabinet hinges give a cabinetmaker or installer a compact, square-corner hinge built from solid brass, so the moving joint stays stable on cabinet doors and face frames during everyday use. These Deltana solid brass cabinet hinges are designed as full mortise hinges, meaning leafs sit flush in a routed pocket, keeping the hinge neatly set into the door and frame instead of sitting on the surface. The hinge size of 2-1/2 x 2-1/2 inches keeps the proportions suitable for cabinet doors rather than large passage doors, which helps maintain proper scale on face-frame projects. A thickness of 0.093 inch gives the leaves a solid feel at the hinge line, helping the door track smoothly without a flimsy action at the knuckle. Ball tip finials are standard on this model, so the hinge pins finish with a traditional decorative profile that suits many cabinet styles.
This Deltana full mortise hinge is designed as a screw-on hinge, so each leaf fastens to the cabinet door and frame using #7 x 3/4 inch wood screws. The full mortise mounting type means both leaves sit into pockets cut into the edge of the door and the face frame stile, allowing the outside faces of the leaves to sit level with the wood. Square corners on the hinge align with straight-sided mortises, so layout lines can be struck and cut with a square and chisel without rounding the corners. The 0.093 inch leaf thickness defines how deep the mortise must be cut, which sets the door gap and keeps the barrel aligned along the door edge.
This hinge belongs to the semi-concealed hinge class, so part of the solid brass hinge is set into the wood and part remains visible at the barrel and finials on cabinet work. The product sits in the hinges category under semi-concealed face-frame hinges and full mortise hinges, which places it directly in typical cabinet and face-frame door installs rather than in large commercial door systems. The 2-1/2 x 2-1/2 inch size suits smaller wood doors often found in cabinetry, where a compact hinge keeps the leaf footprint close to the stile width. Polished chrome over brass means the visible barrel and ball tip finials present a finished appearance at the cabinet face, tying into other polished chrome hardware in the same project.
The full mortise mounting pattern gives a fixed reference for repeated hinge locations, because the 2-1/2 inch by 2-1/2 inch leaf outline and square corners match directly to a routed template or measured layout. With six screw holes in the hinge leaves, using #7 x 3/4 inch wood screws spreads holding power along the stile and door edge, which keeps the hinge from shifting at the joint once driven. The 0.093 inch leaf thickness also contributes to alignment, because matching mortise depth across multiple doors keeps the hinge barrels in a straight line down a run of cabinets. Ball tip finials on the hinge pins help installers visually confirm barrel alignment along a bank of doors, since the repeated finial tips form a consistent row at the top and bottom of each cabinet opening.
The CH2525U26 is a Deltana solid brass cabinet hinge built as a full mortise, semi-concealed hinge, so it seats into routed pockets while leaving the barrel and finials visible on the cabinet.
The hinge measures 2-1/2 inches by 2-1/2 inches, keeping the leaves compact for cabinet door applications where smaller proportions match typical stile and rail sizes.
The 0.093 inch hinge thickness sets the depth of the mortise, which helps define door reveal and keeps the hinge barrel properly centered along the edge of the door.
This hinge is a screw-on style that uses #7 x 3/4 inch wood screws through six holes, so the leaves fasten directly into the cabinet door and frame stile.
The hinge is made from solid brass with a polished chrome finish, so the visible barrel and ball tip finials show a bright chrome surface over the brass body.
Square corners on the hinge leaves pair with straight-sided mortises, allowing hinge pockets to be cut with square layout lines and chisel work instead of rounded corners.
The Deltana full mortise cabinet hinge CH2525U26 pairs a 2-1/2 x 2-1/2 inch footprint with solid brass construction, giving cabinet projects a compact yet substantial hinge at each door. The polished chrome finish provides a bright appearance on the exposed barrel and ball tip finials, tying into other polished chrome hardware choices. With six screw holes sized for #7 x 3/4 inch wood screws and square-corner leaves, this hinge supports a straightforward layout on cabinet doors and face frames. Use this hinge when a full mortise, semi-concealed design and polished chrome finish are needed together on cabinet installations.
