Hickory Hardware self-close 1/2 overlay hinge gives a face-mounted solution for 1/2 inch overlay cabinet doors, so you can hang doors on face-frame cabinets while keeping most of the hinge discreet. This semi-concealed hinge design leaves only part of the hardware visible, which keeps sightlines cleaner while still letting you access the hinge for adjustments or replacement as needed. The hinge is part of the semi-concealed hinges product class, so it suits projects where you want traditional face-frame function with less exposed hardware. The polished brass finish provides a bright metal look, which helps match existing polished brass cabinet hardware on doors and drawer fronts in the same run. The steel construction gives a solid metal body, which supports typical cabinet door weights in residential and light shop environments where steel hardware is standard.
The 1/2 inch overlay measurement defines how far the door covers the face frame, so you can size doors and lay out reveals along the cabinet run with predictable gaps. The face mount design means the hinge attaches directly to the front of the cabinet frame, which keeps installation on face-frame boxes centered around straightforward screw locations. The center-to-center dimension of 1/2 inch between specific points on the hinge provides a repeatable reference, which helps when creating jigs or marking out consistent hole spacing from cabinet to cabinet. The self-close function is built into the hinge, which lets the door pull itself shut in the closing range and reduces door bounce in everyday use. The screw-on style gives a conventional mechanical fastening method, which works well with common shop drills and drivers used on site or in the shop.
This 1/2 inch overlay face mount hinge is designed for face-frame cabinets using a 1/2 inch door overlay, so it aligns with common kitchen and utility cabinet layouts that follow that overlay standard. The semi-concealed hinge class keeps most of the mechanism tucked around the frame, which suits projects aiming for a more finished look without switching to fully concealed hardware. The partial wrap hinge configuration lets the hinge wrap around the frame edge, which suits traditional face-frame construction where the frame provides a solid mounting edge. The polished brass finish matches polished brass cabinet hardware, which helps keep knobs, pulls, and hinges visually consistent across doors in the same space. The hinge is sold in pairs, which matches typical cabinet door installations using two hinges per door in standard height applications.
The manufacturer part number P2710F-3 clearly identifies this specific 1/2 inch overlay polished brass hinge, which helps you reorder or match existing installations without mixing different overlay or finish variants. The steel material gives a consistent machining and drilling feel, which supports predictable pilot hole sizing and screw bite during installation on wood face frames. The 2-1/4 inch length or diameter and 1-1/3 inch width dimensions define the hinge footprint, which lets you align multiple hinges at the same setback and maintain uniform spacing between doors. The 1-1/2 inch projection tells you how far the hinge extends from its mounting surface, which helps reduce surprises when checking clearance against cabinet interiors or adjacent doors. The self-close feature provides closing assistance at the end of the swing, which keeps doors resting fully shut and helps cabinets look aligned along the run instead of sitting partly open.
This hinge is a semi-concealed face mount hinge for face-frame cabinets with a 1/2 inch overlay, so it suits traditional framed cabinet construction using that overlay standard.
The 1/2 inch overlay means each door overlaps the frame by 1/2 inch, so you size doors wider than the opening and maintain consistent reveals across cabinet faces.
The self-close function on this hinge helps pull the door fully closed near the end of travel, which keeps doors resting shut and helps cabinet faces look aligned.
The polished brass finish gives a bright brass appearance, which helps match other polished brass cabinet hardware and keeps the hardware look consistent across the project.
The partial wrap design lets the hinge wrap around the frame edge, which helps locate the door on the frame and provides additional bearing surface along the edge.
The 2-1/4 inch length defines the hinge footprint, which helps you plan hinge spacing on the frame and check for clearance on narrow stiles or next to other hardware.
