Hickory Hardware self-close 3/8 inset face mount hinge is a semi-concealed hinge designed for face-frame cabinet doors with a 3/8 inch offset. This hinge uses a surface mount design on the frame, which positions the leaf directly on the face frame so the door overlays the opening by the 3/8 inch offset. The self-close function built into this hinge pulls the door shut at the end of its swing, which helps doors seat consistently against the frame. The hinge is made from steel, giving a solid metal body that stands up to repeated cabinet door cycles in everyday use. A polished chrome finish on the hinge creates a bright, reflective look that coordinates with other chrome cabinet hardware in the same space.
This face mount hinge is built specifically as a surface mount design for face-frame cabinets, so the frame leaf sits directly on the front of the face frame rather than in a mortise. The 3/8 inch offset establishes where the door edge sits relative to the frame edge, which helps control overlay and reveal when aligning a bank of doors. The semi-concealed format means part of the hinge is visible on the frame side while the rest is tucked between door and frame, giving a familiar cabinet appearance. With a 2-3/16 inch width and 2-3/4 inch length or diameter, the hinge body provides a defined mounting area that suits typical cabinet stile dimensions.
This hinge belongs to the semi-concealed hinges product class and is intended for face-frame cabinet work where a 3/8 inch inset or offset layout is required. As a face mount hinge, it installs on the surface of the frame, which suits traditional kitchen, bath, or shop cabinet designs that rely on visible frame leaves. The steel construction supports repeated opening and closing on active cabinet doors in residential or shop environments. Because it is part of the 20010 collection from Belwith Keeler, it visually coordinates with other pieces from the same collection when building out a matched hardware set on multiple doors.
The 3/8 inch offset specification on this hinge gives a precise reference for door-to-frame positioning, which helps installers repeat a consistent overlay pattern from cabinet to cabinet. The face mount construction means layout work happens directly on the frame front, making it straightforward to mark hole locations relative to the door edge. A projection of 13/16 inch defines how far the hinge stands out from the mounting surface, which is useful when checking swing paths near adjacent cabinets or walls. The polished chrome finish provides a bright, smooth surface that pairs cleanly with chrome pulls or knobs, helping maintain a unified hardware appearance across the project. The 8-32 x 1 inch screw size sets the thread standard for mounting, supporting predictable hole sizing when drilling for this specific hinge model.
