Amerock free swinging 3/8 inch inset face mount hinge is a semi-concealed face-frame hinge designed for jobs that call for a 3/8 inch inset cabinet door on a face frame. The face mount design places part of the hinge on the frame surface, which keeps the door properly located while still leaving most of the hardware out of sight when the door is closed. This hinge is non self-close, so the door position is controlled by the user or by any separate catch in the project, which suits applications where a free-swinging door movement is preferred. The polished chrome finish provides a bright, reflective look on the exposed hinge portions, giving a clean, finished appearance when matched with other chrome hardware. As a semi-concealed hinge, it supports straightforward layout on face frames while maintaining a simple, functional appearance across the run of cabinets.
This Amerock Corporation hinge is a screw-on style face mount hinge, so it is fastened to the cabinet with screws through the hinge plates rather than using a clip-on or press-in system. The face mount configuration means the frame side of the hinge sits on the front of the face frame, which can simplify layout on traditional framed cabinet construction compared to fully concealed cup hinges. The semi-concealed design allows visible alignment points on the frame while most of the hardware sits behind the door edge, which can help during straight runs of cabinets where consistent gaps are important. As a free swinging, non self-close hinge, it supports installations where door movement is set by the user or by separate components in the cabinet design.
This semi-concealed face mount hinge is specified for 3/8 inch inset applications, so it fits cabinet doors that are partially set into the opening while overlapping the face frame by 3/8 inch. That geometry matches many traditional face-frame cabinet layouts where the door edge steps back into the opening instead of resting entirely on the frame surface. The face mount hinge plate attaches to the front of the face frame, providing a clear reference line along the frame edge that can help maintain consistent door placement across multiple openings. Because only part of the hinge is visible when the door is closed, it suits projects where the hardware should be present but not dominant, such as residential kitchens or built-ins that use semi-concealed hinges as a visible design element.
The free swinging, non self-close nature of this hinge means there is no integrated closing spring, so the door opens and closes based on how it is moved, which is useful when a light touch is desired or when a separate catch defines the final door position. The face mount configuration gives a fixed reference on the front of the frame, helping maintain consistent reveals as doors are lined up side to side. Because the hinge is semi-concealed, only the polished chrome portions show at the edge, giving a finished look that coordinates with polished chrome pulls and knobs on the same installation. The Amerock BPR341726 designation clearly identifies this exact combination of free swinging operation, 3/8 inch inset geometry, semi-concealed form, and polished chrome finish, simplifying future service work or matching additional hinges to an existing run of cabinets.
