Hickory Hardware self-close hinge is a steel semi-concealed face frame hinge that provides controlled self-closing action on cabinet doors, which helps doors return to position without manual pushing on every cycle. This hinge is part wrap with a 3/8 inch offset and is built for 1/4 inch overlay applications, so the geometry supports consistent reveals on properly sized face-frame doors. The 3/8 inch inset design positions the door edge relative to the face frame to match this layout, which matters when matching existing cabinets that use the same specification. The hinge has a 1-1/4 inch projection and 2-3/4 inch width, giving a compact swing path that keeps door movement close to the frame for standard face-frame construction. The antique brass finish provides an antique brass appearance on the visible leaf, which suits projects calling for a warm, traditional metal color along the cabinet front.
This surface self-closing hinge is designed as a screw-on style, so both the frame and door sides fasten directly with screws through the leaf holes, giving installers a direct mechanical connection into the wood. The semi-concealed face frame format means the frame leaf sits on the face frame while the other leaf mounts to the door edge, which matches common face-frame construction practices. The 3 inch length or diameter specification aligns with the overall size of the hinge assembly, so it occupies a modest footprint on the frame stile and door edge during layout. With the 1/4 inch overlay, hinge positioning along the frame edge defines the final reveal, allowing careful layout so doors share a common overhang on adjoining cabinets.
This semi-concealed face frame hinge works on face-frame cabinets that are built around a 1/4 inch overlay and 3/8 inch inset configuration, which matches installations where doors partially cover the frame while sitting in toward the opening. The 3/8 inch offset and 3/8 inch inset geometry support cabinet layouts that use this offset between the frame and door mounting planes, so it suits new work or repairs using the same style. The antique brass finish on the hinge gives the visible sections an antique brass appearance, which aligns with traditional or vintage-inspired cabinet hardware schemes along a run of doors. The P61030F-AB designation from Belwith Keeler identifies this exact hinge pattern, which helps keep hinge style consistent across multiple openings on the same project.
The self-closer built into this surface self-closing hinge adds a closing force at the end of travel, so doors return to the frame without relying only on knob pulling, which supports uniform closing behavior across a bank of cabinets. The 1-1/4 inch projection dimension defines how far the hinge projects from the mounting surface during door swing, which helps installers judge door clearance near adjacent doors, walls, or appliances. The 2-3/4 inch width of the hinge body provides a stable platform for screw placement across the leaf, which spreads loads across the frame stile and door edge for everyday use. The 3 inch length or diameter spec ties to the hinge size envelope, which helps match this hinge visually and mechanically when pairing it with similar hardware in the same kitchen or shop layout. The steel material backing the hinge offers a rigid base for the self-close function and pivot, which supports repeated cycles in residential or light commercial cabinet applications.
The 1/4 inch overlay suits face-frame cabinets where the door overlaps the frame by 1/4 inch, which helps create consistent margins between doors and adjacent surfaces.
The 3/8 inch offset sets the bend between frame and door leaves, which positions the door correctly for a 3/8 inch inset relationship to the face frame opening.
The self-closing function means the hinge pulls the door toward the closed position near the end of travel, which helps doors stay shut against the frame.
The antique brass finish gives the visible hinge areas an antique brass look, which matches cabinet designs using warm, traditional metal tones on doors and drawers.
The P61030F-AB model is a semi-concealed surface self-closing face frame hinge, which combines partial visibility with screw-on mounting on face-frame cabinets.
The steel construction gives the hinge a solid metal body, which supports repeated opening and closing in typical residential or shop cabinet environments.
The Hickory Hardware self-close hinge with 1/4 inch overlay, 3/8 inch inset, and 3/8 inch offset offers a defined geometry for face-frame cabinets that follow these dimensions, helping builders and installers keep reveals and closing action consistent. The semi-concealed face frame format, antique brass finish, and steel construction together define how this hinge will look and perform along stiles and doors. For projects built around this overlay and offset, selecting the P61030F-AB hinge helps keep hinge style, layout, and self-closing behavior aligned across the entire cabinet run.
