Amerock self-close 1/2 overlay hinge defines this semi-concealed face-frame hinge as a practical choice for cabinet doors that overlay the frame by 1/2 inch, giving a consistent reveal that matches standard 1/2 inch overlay layouts. The single demountable hinge design supports doors that need to be removed from the cabinet side without disturbing the frame mounting, which helps during finishing work or later adjustments. Its self-close function draws the door shut at the end of travel, reducing door bounce and helping doors sit in the same position each time. Made from steel, the hinge provides a solid metal body for typical cabinet environments where a dependable hinge is needed. The satin nickel finish brings a muted metallic look that coordinates with satin nickel pulls and knobs, which keeps hardware visually consistent across the project.
This semi-concealed hinge is part of Amerock Corporation's demountable hinge line, placing it in a category tailored for face-frame cabinet construction. With a listed projection of 11/16 inch, the hinge positions the door off the face frame by that distance, which affects how knobs line up relative to counters or adjacent doors. The 1/2 inch overlay specification tells you the door will overlap the frame opening by that amount, supporting layouts where repeated 1/2 inch overlays must match across a run of doors. The steel material works with the self-close feature to manage the motion of typical cabinet door sizes in indoor woodworking projects. The satin nickel finish on the visible portion of this semi-concealed hinge provides a consistent tone where hinges are seen at the edge of the door.
This hinge sits in the Semi-Concealed Hinges and Demountable Hinges categories, tying it directly to face-frame cabinet construction where part of the hinge shows and part is hidden behind the door. The 1/2 inch overlay configuration suits cabinets built so the door covers the frame front by that amount, which is common on many residential and shop-built cabinets. As a single demountable hinge, it is used where the door side can be detached from the cabinet without removing the portion secured to the face frame, which helps during refinishing, hinge replacement, or door adjustment work. The 2-1/4 inch length and 1-1/2 inch width dimensions define the general size of door edge and frame exposure, so this hinge works well in layouts that match those proportions across multiple doors.
The self-close function on this Amerock self-close 1/2 overlay hinge helps doors settle into the same resting position each time, supporting clean alignment when several doors share a common reveal line. The 11/16 inch projection value keeps the door standoff consistent from the face frame, which matters where doors swing past face frames, counters, or adjacent cabinets. Steel construction provides a stable base for the self-closing action and the repeated motion of cabinet doors in woodworking environments. The satin nickel finish ties the visible hinge portions to other satin nickel hardware, simplifying visual coordination on full room projects. As a semi-concealed hinge, it balances a traditional exposed-hinge look with reduced visual clutter, which can satisfy design goals that call for some metal detail without a fully exposed strap hinge.
The hinge is categorized as a semi-concealed face-frame demountable hinge, so it is suited to face-frame cabinets where part of the hinge is visible at the door edge.
The 1/2 inch overlay means the door covers the face frame by 1/2 inch, which sets the visual gap and helps maintain uniform reveals across multiple cabinet doors.
Single demountable hinge indicates the hinge is designed so the door side can be removed from the cabinet side connection, which aids in door removal and reinstallation tasks.
The 11/16 inch projection sets how far the door stands off the frame, which affects swing clearance next to adjacent doors, counters, or nearby walls.
The satin nickel finish provides a muted metallic look so the visible hinge portions coordinate with satin nickel pulls, knobs, and other satin nickel hardware in the project.
The steel construction gives the hinge a solid metal structure suited to typical cabinet door operation, supporting the self-close function through repeated opening and closing cycles.
The Amerock self-close 1/2 overlay hinge combines semi-concealed face-frame mounting, single demountable function, and self-closing action in a steel body with satin nickel finish, aligning well with cabinet projects built around 1/2 inch overlay doors. With defined dimensions of 2-1/4 inch length, 1-1/2 inch width, and 11/16 inch projection, it offers predictable door positioning across a run of face-frame cabinets. For woodworking jobs where coordinated satin nickel hardware and repeatable 1/2 inch overlays matter, this Amerock Corporation hinge provides a clearly specified option ready to integrate into your layout.
