Hickory Hardware self-close 3/8 inset hinge P5312-SN is a semi-concealed double demountable hinge designed for face-frame cabinet doors, so it supports projects where a 3/8 inch inset overlay is required on framed construction. The hinge is a screw-on style, which lets you fasten it mechanically to the cabinet and door for a stable mounting during repeated door operation. Its double demountable design is built to engage both door and frame, allowing the door side and frame side to be secured with matching demountable cuts for a consistent fit. The hinge projects 2-5/16 inches, positioning the door away from the frame at a predictable distance that matters when aligning doors across multiple openings. With a width of 1-3/8 inches, the hinge occupies a defined footprint on the edge, which helps plan clearances for adjacent hinges or hardware on narrow stiles.
This screw-on double demountable hinge uses mechanical fasteners as part of its installation, creating a firm attachment at both the door and cabinet frame that matters when doors are cycled repeatedly. Its demountable design engages paired cuts in the door and frame, so once those cuts match the hinge geometry, repositioning or changing a door can follow the same layout. The 3/8 inch offset is built into the hinge, which sets the inset relationship between door and face frame without relying on loose shims. With a 1-13/16 inch length, the hinge body spans a defined section of the edge, making it easier to repeat the same setback and screw pattern from door to door on a run of cabinets.
This 3/8 inset double demountable hinge is part of the semi-concealed hinge class, so a portion stays visible on the face frame while the rest is tucked between door and frame for a traditional cabinet look. The hinge is categorized specifically as a semi-concealed face-frame demountable hinge, aligning it with framed cabinet construction where the front frame defines the opening. Its 3/8 inch offset is engineered for doors that sit partially inside the frame, which is typical for 3/8 inch inset cabinetry rather than full-overlay layouts. The satin nickel finish from the Hickory Hardware line presents a consistent appearance where the hinge shows on the frame edge, which matters when it is used alongside satin nickel pulls and knobs across a matched kitchen or built-in installation. The steel construction supports this hardware role in everyday cabinet environments where a rigid hinge is needed on stiles and rails.
The P5312-SN identifier connects each hinge to the same Hickory Hardware self-close 3/8 inset specification, which helps maintain uniform movement and sightlines when multiple doors share this model on a bank of cabinets. Because this hinge is double demountable, the interface on both door and frame can be machined or cut to the same pattern, and that repeatable geometry simplifies producing consistent reveals across similar openings. Its 2-5/16 inch projection is a fixed dimension, so once a door works properly in one opening, duplicating hinge placement on additional doors will keep the swing path and clearances the same. The 1-13/16 inch length and 1-3/8 inch width define a predictable footprint, which is useful for jigs or templates that reference those sizes during edge preparation. As a screw-on hinge, the mechanical attachment also allows each hinge to be fastened in the same sequence, supporting steady, predictable results from door to door.
The Hickory Hardware self-close 3/8 inset hinge is classified as a semi-concealed face-frame demountable hinge, so it is suited to framed cabinet construction using 3/8 inch inset doors.
The 3/8 inch offset sets how far the door sits within the face frame opening, which determines the inset reveal and keeps door edges aligned with the frame.
The double demountable hinge design engages both door and frame, so once those edges are cut to its pattern, doors can be mounted or swapped while keeping the same inset fit.
The P5312-SN hinge has a length of 1-13/16 inches, a projection of 2-5/16 inches, and a width of 1-3/8 inches, which guides edge layout and hinge spacing on cabinet doors.
The satin nickel finish provides a neutral metallic look on visible parts of this semi-concealed hinge, helping it visually coordinate with other satin nickel cabinet hardware.
The steel material gives the hinge a solid metal body, supporting the repeated opening and closing typical for cabinet doors in residential or shop environments.
The Hickory Hardware self-close 3/8 inset double demountable hinge P5312-SN combines a defined 3/8 inch offset, screw-on mounting, and a semi-concealed face-frame design, so it fits work where consistent 3/8 inch inset doors are planned. Its steel construction, satin nickel finish, and specific length, projection, and width numbers give clear reference points when matching an existing installation or laying out new cabinet runs. For projects built around 3/8 inch inset framed doors, this hinge provides a known geometry and appearance that can be repeated across multiple openings.
