Amerock self-close 3/8 inset face mount hinge is a semi-concealed face-frame hinge that controls how a cabinet door hangs and shuts, so you can set up 3/8 inch inset doors on face-frame cabinets with consistent alignment. The hinge is made from steel, giving the hinge body a solid metal construction that supports repeated opening and closing in everyday cabinet use. A self-close function is built into the hinge, so the door is pulled shut at the end of travel, which helps doors sit closed without manual latching. The hinge uses a screw-on mounting style, so the leaf fastens directly to the cabinet and door with screws for a secure mechanical connection. The polished chrome finish on the hinge surfaces provides a bright metallic look on the semi-visible portions of the hardware, matching polished chrome cabinet hardware runs where a coordinated appearance matters.
This Amerock self-close 3/8 inset face mount hinge uses a screw-on mounting style, so it is secured using screws through the hinge holes into the cabinet and door, giving a direct fastened connection for each leaf. The screw size is specified as #6 x 5/8 inch, so the mounting holes and leaf thickness are matched to that screw dimension, which guides drill bit and pilot choices when preparing the cabinet and door. The hinge has a length or diameter listed as 2-3/4 inches, so the main hinge body spans that distance, which affects how much door edge area is engaged and how the door edge is positioned. A projection of 5/8 inch is specified, so the hinge moves the door out that distance from the mounting surface, which influences clearance between the door and cabinet frame during swing. The overall hinge width is 2-3/16 inches, which defines how much face-frame and door edge surface is covered and where the screw pattern will fall during layout.
This Amerock self-close 3/8 inch inset face mount hinge is categorized under semi-concealed face-frame hinges, so it is intended for face-frame cabinet construction where part of the hinge is visible and part is concealed between the door and frame. The 3/8 inch overlay or inset specification ties this hinge to cabinet doors designed with a 3/8 inch inset relationship to the face frame, which is a common build standard in many traditional cabinet layouts. A projection of 5/8 inch shapes how far the door sits out from the frame when closed, which affects reveals around adjacent doors and drawer fronts in the installation. The hinge width of 2-3/16 inches defines how much real estate on the face frame and door stile is engaged by the hinge leaves, which influences hinge spacing options when multiple hinges are placed along a taller door. The length dimension of 2-3/4 inches describes the span of the hinge, which connects directly to how much load is spread along the door edge for that hinge position.
The self-close function on this Amerock hinge adds a controlled closing action, so once the door is near shut, the hinge mechanism completes the motion, which helps doors settle firmly against the cabinet frame in daily use. Using a steel material for the hinge body means the knuckle, leaves, and key components are metal, which supports a stable pivot point and resists deformation as doors cycle over time. The screw-on face mount design places the hinge leaves on the face frame and matching door edge using screws, so installers can position the hinge precisely to line up reveals and then secure it firmly in that location. The specified #6 x 5/8 inch screw size gives a clear fastener standard for the hinge, which simplifies tool selection and helps keep screw engagement in the frame and door material consistent from hinge to hinge. The polished chrome finish presents a defined surface treatment, so the visible parts of the hinge show a uniform appearance, which can be matched across multiple doors in a room for a coordinated cabinet hardware look.
