Hickory Hardware self-close hinge gives a semi-concealed solution for face frame cabinet doors that need controlled closing in a polished brass look. This Belwith Keeler hinge mounts on the face of the frame, so it lets you work with existing face-frame layouts while providing a self-closing function. The flush hinge design from the 20010 collection keeps most of the hardware out of sight when the door is closed, helping maintain a clean appearance while still using a sturdy steel component. The polished brass finish ties into traditional or brass-forward jobs where visible hardware needs to match other brass pieces. With a manufacturer part number P144-3, it is easy to reference this exact hinge style when planning repeat orders or matching existing installations across multiple openings.
This face mount hinge is built as a semi-concealed face-frame hinge, so it fastens directly to the face of the cabinet frame in applications that use variable overlay doors. The screw-on design works with standard threaded fasteners sized 8-32 by 1 inch, which sets expectations for pilot hole sizing and threading in wood or compatible materials. With its 2-3/4 inch overall length and 2-3/16 inch width, this self-close hinge offers a footprint suited to typical cabinet doors, helping align the door edge to the frame during installation. The 13/16 inch projection and 3/8 inch offset work together to define how the mounted door stands off and overlays the frame, supporting predictable reveals across a line of cabinets.
This semi-concealed hinge from the 20010 collection is intended for face-frame cabinets that benefit from a self-close function and a brass appearance on exposed parts. The variable overlay design suits doors that do not follow a fixed overlay value, giving flexibility in how much of the frame remains visible. Because it is a face mount hinge, it fits projects where the hinge leaf attaches to the front of the frame rather than inside the cabinet, supporting straightforward layout on existing frames. The polished brass finish fits jobs requiring brass-tone hardware on traditional kitchens, bath cabinets, or built-ins where the hinge edge remains partially visible along the door and frame line.
The 3/8 inch offset dimension gives a reference for planning door overlays, helping maintain consistent gaps between doors and frames across multi-door installations. The 13/16 inch projection defines how far the hinge brings the door away from the frame, which matters when doors must clear adjacent doors, face trim, or carcass edges. The self-close function built into this hinge aids in pulling the door shut once it reaches a certain point, which helps doors settle firmly against the frame without manual adjustment each time. With its steel construction under a polished brass finish, this Belwith Keeler hinge balances discreet mounting with visible brass details, making it practical for cabinet runs where visual consistency and predictable door motion are both priorities.
The Hickory Hardware self-close hinge is a semi-concealed face mount design, so it suits face-frame cabinet doors where part of the hinge shows at the frame edge but most of the hardware remains hidden.
The self-close variable overlay hinge uses a 3/8 inch offset, which supports different door overlay positions on the face frame while maintaining consistent gaps and reveals in a cabinet run.
The hinge projection of 13/16 inch indicates how far the mounted hinge moves the door off the face frame, which affects door clearance against adjacent doors, trim, or cabinet components.
The hinge uses steel for the main structure with a polished brass finish, combining a sturdy base for repeated door cycles with a brass appearance where the hinge edge remains visible.
The P144-3 hinge is a face mount, screw-on design, so it attaches to the front of the face frame using 8-32 by 1 inch screws to secure the hinge leaves.
The 2-3/4 inch length and 2-3/16 inch width help define the hinge footprint, which guides door edge layout, screw spacing, and how many hinges to position along taller doors.
