Amerock free swinging hinge gives a face mount solution for 3/8 inch inset cabinet doors, so doors sit correctly back from the face frame while staying aligned on the opening. This semi-concealed hinge design leaves only the needed portions visible, which keeps the focus on the cabinet door rather than the hinge body. The hinge mounts on the cabinet face frame, so layout is straightforward for installers used to traditional face-frame work. A projection of 3/8 inch ties directly to the inset dimension, helping doors clear the frame edge during swing. The 2 inch width provides a stable mounting footprint on the frame and door, supporting consistent gaps across a run of doors. Being non self-close, this hinge lets the door swing freely, which suits situations where a separate catch or damper handles the close action.
This face mount hinge is designed to screw onto the cabinet face frame and door, which allows straightforward installation using common layout marks on the frame edge. The screw-on design suits shop or site work where standard drilling and driving tools are already in use. With a 3/8 inch inset specification, the hinge geometry supports doors that step back from the frame by that amount, helping installers hit a consistent reveal without trial-and-error hardware changes. The 2 inch hinge width provides enough room for practical screw spacing, which helps hold the door firmly in position under regular use. As a non self-close hinge, it works well in setups where closing force is provided by a separate latch, magnetic catch, or other closing method.
This Amerock Corporation hinge, part number BPR34173, is suited to cabinet projects using face frames and 3/8 inch inset doors, because its geometry is built around that specific inset dimension. The face mount style places the hinge leaves on the front of the frame and door edge, giving installers a clear view of screw locations during layout and fastening. As a semi-concealed hinge, most of the hardware sits behind the door and frame, so only the necessary knuckle and small portions of the leaves remain visible when the door is closed. The polished brass finish makes this hinge a match for cabinet jobs where polished brass pulls, knobs, or other brass components define the visual theme. Material construction in steel provides a solid base for the hinge structure, supporting the repeated open-and-close motion found in normal cabinet service.
The 3/8 inch inset specification on this hinge directly supports doors designed to sit back from the face frame by that distance, which simplifies layout because the hardware matches the cabinet design instead of requiring on-site adjustments to the door position. The face mount configuration lets installers work from the front of the cabinet, reducing time spent accessing tight interior corners during hinge placement. With a 2 inch width, the hinge offers space to spread mounting screws across the leaf, which helps resist door sag and rotation over everyday use. The non self-close operation means the hinge does not pull the door closed, which is useful when a smooth, free-swinging action is preferred or when a separate closing system is part of the cabinet design. The polished brass finish on a steel base gives the visible parts of the hinge a brass appearance while the steel structure supports the mechanical function.
