Deltana solid brass cabinet hinges come in an array of fine finishes with ball tip finials as standard, so this CH2525U3 hinge delivers a finished look on exposed ends while keeping the working joint compact for cabinet doors. The 2-1/2 inch by 2-1/2 inch hinge size sets a consistent leaf footprint, which helps maintain even reveals across a run of doors when you lay out your mortises. As a semi-concealed hinge in the Full Mortise Hinges class, it sets most of the hinge into the cabinet and door edge, which reduces visual clutter while still leaving the decorative ball tips visible. The polished brass finish matches projects that call for a warm, traditional metal tone, so it ties in with existing brass hardware on face-frame cabinetry.
The mounting type listed as Full Mortise means the hinge leaves are set into recesses in both the cabinet and door edges, so once installed the leaves sit level with the wood and the barrel projects for smooth swing. This screw-on polished brass hinge uses wood screw #7 x 3/4 inch, so you fasten directly into the cabinet material, which suits typical stile and frame construction in woodworking shops. Because this hinge belongs to the Full Mortise Hinges category with square corners, you can lay out clean rectangular pockets, which streamlines repeat cuts on a template when you are hanging multiple doors in a row.
The CH2525U3 hinge is identified as a semi-concealed hinge in the Full Mortise Hinges category, so it is suited to cabinet applications where you want most of the hardware recessed yet still want decorative tips visible at the edge. The 2-1/2 inch by 2-1/2 inch size works on many cabinet doors rather than large passage doors, so it fits typical kitchen, bath, and built-in cabinet dimensions that use smaller hinge footprints. Because Deltana solid brass cabinet hinges come in an array of fine finishes and this version is polished brass, it aligns with projects needing a matching brass tone on knobs, pulls, and other visible hardware. The square corner design ties into straight-edged mortising, so it pairs well with face-frame cabinetry where crisp corners around the hinge leaf match the style of rails and stiles.
The listing of mounting type as Full Mortise means every installation follows a defined recess depth equal to the 0.093 inch hinge thickness, which lets you standardize your router or chisel setup and repeat the same pocket across many doors. The presence of 6 holes on the hinge leaf gives you three fasteners into the door and three into the frame, so when you drive the specified #7 x 3/4 inch wood screws you distribute pull forces and help the hinge barrels stay aligned under regular cabinet use. Being part of the semi-concealed hinge class, the CH2525U3 keeps most hardware edges tucked into the wood, which reduces snag points while still presenting the ball tip finials as a neat visual detail on the cabinet exterior. The polished brass finish on a solid brass cabinet hinge supports consistent appearance across installations where all exposed hinge tips and leaves need to match surrounding brass components.
The CH2525U3 hinge uses Full Mortise mounting, so both the cabinet and door receive recesses, allowing the leaves to sit flush and the door to close neatly against the frame.
The Deltana CH2525U3 polished brass hinge measures 2-1/2 inches by 2-1/2 inches, giving a compact footprint that suits cabinet doors and helps keep proportions balanced on smaller door faces.
The CH2525U3 hinge thickness is 0.093 inch, providing a clear target depth for mortising so the leaves sit level with the wood and the hinge barrel lines up smoothly.
The CH2525U3 hinge specifies wood screw #7 x 3/4 inch, giving fastening that suits typical cabinet door and frame stock while providing solid thread engagement in woodworking applications.
The CH2525U3 hinge has 6 holes, three on each leaf, which helps spread load between the cabinet and door so the hinge alignment stays stable over regular use.
This Deltana solid brass cabinet hinge has a polished brass finish and ball tip finials as standard, giving cabinet doors a traditional brass look with a finished detail at the hinge ends.
