Hickory Hardware self-close hinge is a 1/2 inch overlay double demountable hinge that controls door position on face-frame cabinets, which helps keep doors aligned over time on active installs. The hinge is a semi-concealed hinge, so part of the hardware is visible while the working elements sit off the frame, giving a traditional cabinet look with the function of a modern hinge. This hinge uses a screw-on design, which lets installers fasten the hinge using threaded connections for a solid hold in wood cabinet components. The hinge is built as a double demountable style, meaning it is designed with demountable connections at both the door and frame sides, which supports straightforward removal of a door when a job calls for finish work or adjustments. Brand identification as Belwith Keeler ties this hinge to the Hickory Hardware name, which helps match it to existing jobs that already use this line.
This hinge has a 1-1/2 inch length or diameter specification that defines a critical dimension of the hardware, which helps installers judge door sizing and hinge placement against known cabinet layouts. A projection of 2-1/4 inches is specified, so the hinge extends that distance when the door is opened, which affects how far the door swings away from the frame and how the door clears adjacent fronts. The 1-5/16 inch width dimension identifies the width of the hinge body, which matters when laying out mortises or edge cuts on doors and frames. The hinge uses screw-on attachment with 8-32 x 1 inch screws, tying it to a standard machine thread and length that fit common cabinet materials while providing consistent thread engagement in properly prepared mounting points.
The P5310-AB hinge is identified as a semi-concealed face-frame hinge, so it is set up for cabinets that use a face-frame construction rather than frameless cases, which aligns with many kitchen, bath, and built-in cabinet runs. Its 1/2 inch overlay rating defines how far the door edge overlaps the frame, which fits common overlay layouts where doors need to cover part of the frame without meeting as full-overlay fronts. The double demountable design means both the frame and door connections are built to engage in a demountable manner, which suits shops and installers who regularly remove doors for spraying, refinishing, or fitting pulls without disturbing hinge alignment. The antique brass finish on visible portions of this hinge gives a defined color tone on traditional and classic style cabinetry, which is useful when the hinge must line up visually with other antique brass hardware on the same project.
The 1-1/2 inch length or diameter dimension on this hinge provides a known measurement for layout, which helps installers drill and cut consistent positions across multiple doors in a run. A 2-1/4 inch projection value describes the distance the hinge moves the door away from the cabinet when opened, which aids in planning clearances at corners, appliance panels, and adjoining cabinets. The 1-5/16 inch width gives a fixed hinge body footprint, which matters when spacing hinges along a narrow stile so fasteners land solidly in the material. The use of 8-32 x 1 inch screws for mounting defines the thread and depth of bite into the cabinet components, which supports repeatable fastening across multiple installations that use the same hinge model. Being a self-close hinge, the P5310-AB adds closing force as the door approaches the frame, which helps maintain a consistent closed position and reduces door drift on cabinets that see daily use.
The hinge is classified as a semi-concealed face-frame hinge, so it is suited to cabinets built with a face-frame where part of the hinge remains visible on the frame.
The 1/2 inch overlay means the door covers 1/2 inch of the face frame, which guides hinge and door placement when matching standard overlay cabinet designs.
The double demountable design provides demountable connections at both door and frame sides, which lets doors be removed and rehung while keeping the main hinge setup consistent.
The antique brass finish sets the visible color of the hinge, which matters when matching hinges to antique brass pulls, knobs, and other decorative hardware.
The self-close function in the hinge pulls the door into the closed position near the frame, which helps doors stay neatly shut without relying on separate catches.
The 1-1/2 inch length or diameter and 2-1/4 inch projection describe key hinge measurements, which support consistent drilling, spacing, and clearance planning on cabinet installations.
The Hickory Hardware self-close hinge with 1/2 inch overlay, double demountable design, and semi-concealed face-frame classification gives a defined option for projects built around antique brass hardware.
