Amerock free swinging 3/8 inset face mount hinge, screw-on oil rubbed bronze - BPR3417ORB is a semi-concealed hinge designed for face-frame cabinets where the door has a 3/8 inch inset. This hinge mounts on the face frame, so installation aligns directly to standard face-mounted layouts on many traditional cabinet runs. The free swinging, non self-close action keeps door movement controlled only by the user, which helps when precise hand positioning or added bumpers are preferred. The hinge is made from steel, giving the leaf and knuckle a solid metal structure that supports repeated opening cycles in everyday cabinet use. Its semi-concealed design leaves only part of the hinge visible, which keeps the main working parts tucked away behind the door while still giving visual reference points during fitting and alignment. The oil rubbed bronze finish establishes a dark, warm tone that coordinates with matching oil rubbed bronze hardware across a project for a consistent look.
This Amerock semi-concealed hinge is defined as a face mount part, so both frame and door leaves sit on the visible surface of a face frame. That configuration helps during layout because hinge placement follows the outer frame edges instead of relying on hidden cup bores. The hinge provides a 3/8 inch projection specification, which relates to how far the hinge action moves the door from the frame and helps maintain consistent reveals along the door edge. With a 2 inch width, the hinge leaf span is known during planning, so installers can space hinges evenly on narrow or wider doors with confidence in their footprint. The non self-close, free swinging behavior lets doors move without built-in closing force, which avoids resistance when adding separate catches or soft-close devices that manage final door position.
This hinge is categorized under semi-concealed face-frame hinges, so it is suited to cabinet builds that use a face frame instead of full-overlay frameless construction. The 3/8 inch inset detail points to doors that partially overlap and partially sit within the frame opening, which is common in many traditional American cabinet layouts. Because it mounts on the face of the frame, the hinge matches installations where frames are already built and there is no boring for European cups. The 2 inch width helps it sit proportionally on standard stiles and rails, keeping the hardware visually balanced on both small and medium cabinet doors. As a steel hinge with an oil rubbed bronze finish, it pairs with matching oil rubbed bronze pulls and knobs, which keeps the overall cabinet appearance consistent from hinges through decorative hardware on a job.
The Amerock BPR3417ORB hinge uses a screw-on attachment method, giving installers a defined mechanical fastening approach that integrates directly into routine cabinet hardware installation steps. The free swinging, non self-close function means the hinge does not apply closing pressure, so door adjustments depend mainly on screw position and frame alignment, making it easier to predict the final resting point of each door. Its 3/8 inch projection value indicates the hinge geometry, supporting repeatable gap and reveal control when multiple doors share the same hinge style across a run of cabinets. The semi-concealed classification keeps much of the hardware behind the door, which reduces visual clutter while still keeping enough hinge visible to guide consistent placement from cabinet to cabinet. The oil rubbed bronze finish defines the color tone, reducing guesswork when coordinating this hinge with other oil rubbed bronze hardware from Amerock Corporation on the same installation.

The hinge is described as free swinging and non self-close, so the door moves without built-in closing force, leaving final position to catches or user placement.
The hinge is made of steel, giving the leaves and knuckle a solid metal structure that supports normal cabinet door use over repeated openings.
The oil rubbed bronze finish sets a dark, warm appearance that coordinates with other oil rubbed bronze cabinet hardware for a consistent visual result.
