Hickory Hardware self-close hinge is a semi-concealed, variable overlay, face mount hinge that controls how a cabinet door overlays the face frame, which helps dial in consistent reveals on face-frame cabinets. The hinge is part of the semi-concealed hinge class, so a portion of the hardware remains visible while the rest sits against the cabinet, giving installers a predictable visual line when matching existing jobs that use this style. Face mount construction lets the hinge mount directly to the front of the cabinet frame, which simplifies layout on face-frame boxes and speeds up repeatable placements across multiple openings. The self-close function pulls the door shut at the end of travel, which helps doors sit fully closed without constant adjustment. Variable overlay capability allows the same hinge to work across different overlay dimensions within its range, which can reduce hinge variety carried on the truck for similar cabinet runs.
The hinge uses a face mount configuration, so mounting points are on the front of the cabinet face frame where layout marks remain visible during installation. A stated length or diameter of 3-3/16 inches gives a clear overall size reference, which helps installers visualize how the hinge will sit along the door edge and frame stile. The 3/4 inch projection describes how far the hinge assembly extends out from the mounting surface, which influences how the door swings past the face frame and clears adjacent components. A width of 1-13/16 inches defines the footprint across the frame and door edge, which matters when spacing multiple hinges on narrow rails or stiles. Together, these dimensions support planning for door spacing, hinge count, and alignment before drilling pilot locations on the job.
This hinge is listed as a semi-concealed hinge in the face mount hinge category, which aligns it with cabinet doors mounted to face-frame cabinets rather than frameless boxes. The variable overlay description points to use on doors that partially cover the face frame, supporting layouts where overlay can shift to straighten reveals along a wall. Being described as a flush hinge means the door is intended to sit nearly level to the frame, which suits traditional and many stock cabinet designs that avoid heavy European cup hardware. The 3-3/16 inch length dimension fits typical cabinet door edges, so it can be positioned along the stile without dominating the door profile. Width at 1-13/16 inches gives a compact footprint on narrow face frames, which is useful when mounting multiple hinges on small upper doors.
The hinge projection of 3/4 inch controls how the pivot moves the door past the front of the cabinet, which helps keep doors from rubbing the frame edge during opening. The satin silver cloud finish provides a muted metallic appearance, which blends into many modern and transitional cabinet color schemes without demanding attention. Use of steel as the material provides a solid metal body, which supports repeated opening and closing in typical cabinet environments. The Belwith Keeler brand identification connects this hinge to a known hardware manufacturer, which can matter when matching existing Hickory Hardware hinges already installed in a space. The manufacturer part number P296-SC gives a precise reference for reorders or for aligning specifications across drawings, quotes, and on-site hardware pulls.
The P296-SC is a semi-concealed, face mount, flush hinge with self-close and variable overlay, so it suits face-frame cabinet doors that partially overlap the frame while keeping some hardware visible.
The variable overlay description allows the same hinge style to support different door overlays on the face frame, which helps align reveals along runs where openings vary slightly.
The 3-3/16 inch length indicates the overall size of the hinge body along the door edge, helping plan hinge spacing on stiles and balance hardware placement on tall or short doors.
The 3/4 inch projection indicates how far the hinge extends from the mounting surface, which affects door swing clearance around adjacent doors, frames, or trim pieces.
The self-close feature draws the cabinet door into the closed position at the end of travel, helping doors rest fully shut after use and supporting a consistent finished appearance.
The 1-13/16 inch width and face mount style create a compact footprint on the front of the face frame, which helps when installing multiple hinges on narrow rails or stiles.
This hinge is a steel, semi-concealed, face mount solution with self-close and variable overlay, which aligns well with many face-frame cabinet door applications that call for visible yet compact hardware. The satin silver cloud finish offers a neutral metallic look, which ties into a wide range of cabinet colors and pulls from the same design family. Dimensional details of 3-3/16 inch length, 3/4 inch projection, and 1-13/16 inch width define its footprint, supporting layout planning before any holes are drilled. For cabinet projects that match Belwith Keeler or Hickory Hardware styling, this P296-SC hinge provides a defined specification that can be repeated across new installations and replacements.
