EPCO glass door hinge provides a free swinging pivot for glass doors using a shallow channel design, so doors move smoothly while keeping the hardware profile tight to the door edge. The hinge is designed for 1/4 in and 3/16 in glass, giving flexibility when working with common glass thicknesses on cabinets or display cases. Plastic bushings press-fit into an 8.5 mm hole, so the glass pivots on a stable bearing surface instead of the edge of the hole. The 5 mm pin on the hinge seats into the plastic bushing, creating a defined pivot point that helps maintain consistent door swing. This hinge is screw-on, so it secures mechanically to the mounting surface for a solid connection. The black finish supports dark trim or concealed applications where a low-visibility hinge is preferred.
This screw-on glass door hinge fastens directly to the mounting surface, so the door load transfers through mechanical fasteners into the casework. The hinge uses plastic bushings that press-fit into an 8.5 mm hole, so drilling that diameter at the pivot location is central to the layout. Once pressed into the hole, each bushing receives the 5 mm hinge pin, creating a snug pivot that resists play during operation. Because the hinge is designed for 1/4 in and 3/16 in glass, glass preparation centers around accurately positioning the shallow channel along the edge. The free swinging action allows the door to swing without built-in closing resistance, which supports applications where the door position is controlled by stops or external hardware.
This shallow channel glass door hinge is intended for cabinet and similar glass doors where a slim hinge profile is desirable. By gripping the glass at the edge with a shallow channel, the hinge keeps more of the glass area clear, which is useful on display fronts or doors where visibility matters. The design for 1/4 in and 3/16 in glass means typical cabinet glass thicknesses fall within its range, so it can serve across multiple case styles that share those dimensions. The free swinging behavior suits doors that rely on separate catches, magnets, or designed stops to hold the door position, because the hinge does not add resistance beyond the pivot. The black finish helps it blend into dark frames or shadow lines around the door, which keeps attention on the glass rather than the hardware.
The plastic bushings press-fit into an 8.5 mm hole, so the hinge relies on a precisely sized bore to keep the pivot true. This press-fit relationship locks the bushing into the material around the pivot, which helps resist movement that could loosen the swing over time. The 5 mm pin on the hinge fitting into that bushing centers the hinge on a fixed axis, giving the door a repeatable path as it opens and closes. Because the bushing provides a plastic bearing between the pin and the hole, the contact surfaces are better isolated from wear in the surrounding material. The free swinging nature of the hinge lets the pin and bushing work together without built-in damping, which supports smooth, low-resistance motion. As a screw-on hinge, the body anchors to the structure with mechanical fasteners, tying the pivot into the cabinet or frame so the glass movement remains controlled by the hinge geometry rather than flex in the mounting.
The EPCO 517-BL hinge is designed for 1/4 in and 3/16 in glass, so it covers two common cabinet and display glass thicknesses with a single hinge model.
The shallow channel design engages the glass edge, so the hinge secures along the perimeter while leaving most of the glass panel clear and visible in the opening.
The plastic bushings press-fit into an 8.5 mm hole to form a bearing surface, so the 5 mm hinge pin pivots smoothly without wearing directly on the surrounding material.
The 5 mm pin dimension matches the inner fit of the plastic bushing, creating a defined pivot that helps keep the door swing consistent over repeated use.
The EPCO 517-BL is a free swinging glass door hinge, so the door moves without integrated closing force and works with external stops or catches.
The screw-on style means the hinge body fastens directly to the mounting surface, transferring door loads through mechanical fasteners into the cabinet or frame.
The EPCO 517-BL glass door hinge offers a shallow channel design for 1/4 in and 3/16 in glass, so one model serves common cabinet glass applications. The screw-on mounting, 5 mm hinge pin, and press-fit plastic bushings into an 8.5 mm hole combine to create a stable pivot that supports free swinging doors. With a black finish suited to darker casework, this hinge aligns well with glass-front cabinets and displays where a low-profile hinge is preferred. Select this EPCO hinge when a defined pin-and-bushing pivot and free swinging action match the glass door layout.
