Hickory Hardware self-close 3/8 inset hinge describes a semi-concealed face mount hinge that controls how a cabinet door sits on a face frame and pulls the door shut at the end of travel. This hinge is a semi-concealed hinge from Belwith Keeler, so part of the hardware stays hidden while a portion remains visible on the frame, giving a controlled look that suits many cabinet lines. The 3/8 inch offset sets the door position relative to the face frame, which matters when matching existing 3/8 inch inset layouts on replacement jobs. A self-close function in the hinge reduces door bounce-back because the hinge action draws the door closed, helpful on frequently used kitchen and shop cabinets. The hinge is designed as a face mount hinge, so it mounts directly to the cabinet face frame, which aligns with common North American face-frame construction in residential and light commercial cabinetry.
This hinge is described as a 3/8 inch offset face mount design, which means the geometry and mounting style are tuned for 3/8 inch inset or offset doors on face-frame cabinets. The center-to-center dimension is listed as 2-1/8 inches, so the screw holes on the hinge leaf that attaches to the frame are spaced 2-1/8 inches apart, which matters when aligning with existing pilot holes during replacements. The hinge length or diameter is listed as 3-3/16 inches and the width as 2-1/4 inches, giving an overall footprint that tells installers how much flat surface on the frame and door stile is needed for solid mounting. A projection of 15/16 inch describes how far the hinge assembly extends, which affects how the door swings clear of the frame and nearby components during normal operation.
This hinge is categorized as a semi-concealed face-frame hinge, so it suits cabinets built with face frames where installers want a mix of hidden hardware and visible hinge detail. The 3/8 inch offset specification ties the hinge directly to doors designed for 3/8 inch inset or offset layouts on the frame, which is common in many traditional and transitional cabinet lines. Because the product is a face mount hinge, it fastens to the front surface of the face frame, so it matches standard construction where frames are built from stiles and rails that present a flush mounting surface at the cabinet opening. The center-to-center measurement of 2-1/8 inches on the mounting holes plays a role when working on service jobs, because it indicates how closely this hinge will align to many existing semi-concealed hinge drilling patterns, making change-outs more predictable where the same pattern is present. The 3-3/16 inch length and 2-1/4 inch width define a moderate hinge size that suits common cabinet door sizes rather than very small doors, helping installers judge fit in relation to door stile width. The projection of 15/16 inch provides information about how the hinge positions the door as it opens, influencing clearance to adjacent doors or trim.
The material for this hinge is specified as steel, which provides a rigid base for the hinge knuckle and leaves, contributing to consistent movement and alignment under typical cabinet door loads. The finish is named Satin Silver Cloud, so the visible portion of this semi-concealed hinge presents a muted silver tone that can coordinate with similar finishes on other cabinet hardware for a unified look on exposed parts. As a self-close hinge, it is designed so the hinge action draws the door shut near the closing point, which can reduce partial-closure issues on frequently used doors, supporting a more uniform finished installation across a bank of cabinets. The manufacturer is listed as Belwith Keeler under the Hickory Hardware name, giving a defined brand and product family that cabinet shops can standardize on when they want the same operating feel and finish across new builds and later replacements. The SAP description stating 3/8 offset hinge, SC, satin silver cloud reinforces the 3/8 inch offset and self-close functions, tying identification labels directly to the mechanical behavior and finish so inventory labels match what installers see on site.
The P295-SC is a semi-concealed face mount hinge, so it mounts on the cabinet face frame while keeping most of the mechanism hidden behind the door and frame during normal use.
The 3/8 inch offset sets how the door overlays or insets relative to the face frame, which helps match existing 3/8 inch inset cabinet layouts when installing or replacing hinges.
The self-close feature on this hinge means the hinge action pulls the door shut near the end of travel, which helps doors stay closed after normal use without extra latches.
This hinge lists a 2-1/8 inch center-to-center screw spacing, a 3-3/16 inch length, and a 2-1/4 inch width, giving installers clear dimensions for planning frame and door mounting areas.
The hinge projection is 15/16 inch, so the installed hardware extends just under an inch, which affects swing clearance to adjacent doors, walls, or trim pieces.
This hinge is made from steel with a Satin Silver Cloud finish, combining a sturdy steel body with a muted silver appearance on the visible portions of the hardware.
The Hickory Hardware self-close 3/8 inset hinge with Satin Silver Cloud finish offers a semi-concealed, face-mounted solution built on steel construction for cabinet doors designed around 3/8 inch offset geometry. With defined dimensions including 2-1/8 inch center-to-center spacing, 3-3/16 inch length, 2-1/4 inch width, and 15/16 inch projection, it gives cabinet shops and installers concrete numbers for planning fit on face-frame cabinets. For projects that specify Belwith Keeler Hickory Hardware, the P295-SC part number and 20011-2 collection reference provide straightforward identification when aligning new installations or replacements to an existing hardware standard.
