Hickory Hardware Self-Close 1/2" Overlay Double Demountable Hinge, Screw-on Black Iron - P5310-BI

Hickory Hardware Self-Close Hinge For 1/2 Inch Overlay

Hickory Hardware self-close hinge is a semi-concealed, double demountable hinge designed for 1/2 inch overlay doors, so it supports face-frame cabinet layouts that need consistent door reveal. The hinge is classified as a semi-concealed hinge, which leaves only key components visible and helps maintain a cleaner cabinet appearance while still allowing access to hinge adjustments. Its double demountable design is built for demountable hinge systems on both frame and door, which allows doors to be removed and reinstalled without disturbing the main frame preparation. The self-close function pulls the door shut at the end of travel, which helps doors seat consistently against the frame for a uniform look across multiple openings. The hinge works within the demountable hinge category, giving installers a repeatable style when matching other demountable hardware in a project.

Key Hinge Details For Cabinet Installers

• The hinge uses a 1/2 inch overlay, so the door covers 1/2 inch of the face frame and helps installers line up multiple doors with an even overlay across a run.
• The hinge has a length of 1-1/2 inches, which gives a compact mounting footprint on the cabinet and helps when working in tighter rail or stile conditions.
• The projection is 2-1/4 inches, so the hinge carries the door out from the frame by that distance and helps define door swing clearance relative to adjacent doors or moldings.
• The hinge width of 1-5/16 inches sets the lateral space it occupies on the frame edge, which matters when laying out hinge positions near cabinet corners or between closely spaced doors.
• The hinge is made from steel, giving a solid metal body that supports repeated door cycles in typical cabinet use where strength and rigidity are important.
• The black iron finish provides a dark, traditional appearance that coordinates with black iron cabinet hardware and helps create a unified visual line on exposed hinge elements.

Demountable Hinge Fit, Overlay, And Mounting Use

This double demountable hinge is built specifically for face-frame cabinets that use demountable hinge systems with a 1/2 inch overlay, so it fits projects where the door edge overlays the frame by that amount. The self-close function is part of the hinge action, drawing the door tight to the frame and helping each opening close to the same position without extra adjustments. The semi-concealed design keeps most of the hinge hidden behind the door and frame, which helps cabinets present a neater look while still leaving the critical hinge arms accessible during installation or later adjustments. The overall dimensions - 1-1/2 inch length, 2-1/4 inch projection, and 1-5/16 inch width - define how the hinge occupies space on the frame and door edge, which assists in layout when planning multiple hinges or aligning with existing mortises.

Using This 1/2 Inch Overlay Demountable Hinge

Where This Semi-Concealed Face-Frame Hinge Fits

This semi-concealed hinge is classified under semi-concealed face-frame hinges and demountable hinges, so it is suited to face-frame cabinet constructions that already follow that hardware style. Its 1/2 inch overlay rating means it fits door and frame combinations designed for a half-inch overlay, which helps keep reveals consistent across upper and base cabinet runs using the same standard. The double demountable design is a match for systems that use demountable fittings on both the frame and the door side, letting doors be taken off and set back onto the cabinet without re-cutting or altering hinge locations when doors are swapped or refinished. Because projection is 2-1/4 inches, the hinge carries the door out a defined distance from the frame, which is helpful where doors must clear adjacent face frames, pilasters, or applied moldings along a line of cabinets.

Why Dimensions And Finish Support Repeatable Results

The 1-1/2 inch hinge length and 1-5/16 inch width give predictable contact areas on the face frame and door edge, which supports consistent screw positioning from one cabinet to the next when laying out a production run. The steel construction provides a rigid body that works well in demountable hinge applications where doors are removed and reinstalled, because the metal structure maintains the hinge geometry over time. The self-close function inside the hinge helps each door reach the same closed position against the frame, reducing the need for repeated fine-tuning of door position after installation. The black iron finish visually ties into black iron hardware suites, so exposed portions of the hinge align with matching pulls and knobs for a coordinated job. The combination of defined projection, overlay, and size lets installers repeat the same drilling and fitting pattern across multiple openings, which supports efficient cabinet shop workflows.
