The EPCO 517-BL is a free-swinging, screw-on glass door hinge in Black finish, built for cabinet doors with glass panels between 3/16 and 1/4 inch thick. It mounts directly to the cabinet frame with screws, no base plate required, and leaves the door free to stay at any position.
Free-swinging hinges suit cabinet doors that should stay put when opened, not snap or drift back to closed. Display cabinets, showcase uppers, and glass-front storage pieces with thin glass panels are the natural fit. Because there is no spring or damper, a catch or magnetic closure handles keeping the door shut when needed. This hinge does not pull or slow the door; it simply pivots and holds position.
On a glass door, the hinge is part of the visual. Black hardware pairs cleanly with dark cabinet finishes, black-framed display cases, and contemporary interiors where contrast against the glass reads as a detail rather than a distraction. The metal construction keeps the hinge compact and durable through daily use. Because this hardware shows, the Black finish should coordinate with pulls, knobs, and any other visible hardware on the same piece.
Cabinet shops building display cases, contractors fitting glass-front uppers, and homeowners refreshing a bookcase or china cabinet all land on this hinge when the door is thin glass and the finish needs to be Black. The screw-on design makes it straightforward to fit into a renovation or a new build without sourcing a separate plate. For shops running glass-front doors in volume, the compact size and direct mount mean fewer parts to manage per door.
No. This is a free-swinging hinge, meaning the door stays wherever it is positioned. You will need a separate catch or magnetic closure to keep the door shut.
This hinge uses screw-on mounting to the cabinet frame rather than drilling through the glass, so the tempered requirement that applies to bore-through glass hinges does not apply here. Follow your glass supplier's guidance for the panel spec.
Yes. Free-swinging hinges pair well with push-to-open mechanisms because there is no self-closing spring to work against the release.
Hinge count depends on door height and weight. As a general guide, most small glass cabinet doors use two hinges, but taller or heavier doors may need more. Consult the load table for your door dimensions.
Specify the EPCO 517-BL where thin glass cabinet doors need a free-swinging, screw-on hinge and Black finish is the right call for the space.
