EPCO free swinging glass door hinge gives you a screw-on hinge option for glass doors using 1/4 inch or 3/16 inch glass, so you can match common glass thicknesses in cabinet and casework projects. This shallow channel glass door hinge grips the glass in a low-profile way, which lets you keep tight reveals and cleaner lines on smaller doors. The polished brass finish on the 517-PB hinge provides a bright metal look that coordinates with other brass hardware on the job. Plastic bushings press-fit into an 8.5 mm hole to create a defined pivot point in the cabinet or frame, which simplifies layout because you drill a consistent hole size. The 5 mm pin on the hinge fits into the plastic bushing, giving the door a guided swing around a fixed point and helping doors track the same across multiple openings.
This EPCO glass door hinge uses a screw-on mounting method, so the hinge is mechanically fastened to its support and then clamped to 1/4 inch or 3/16 inch glass in the shallow channel. The plastic bushings press-fit into an 8.5 mm hole in the cabinet or frame, so drilling that single hole size sets the pivot center for the door. With the 5 mm pin designed to fit into the plastic bushing, the hinge locates positively into the drilled hole and bushing, which helps keep installation repeatable across multiple doors. The free swinging design allows the door to move on that fixed pin, so the opening action follows the same arc every time once the hinge position is laid out.
This shallow channel glass door hinge is intended for 1/4 inch and 3/16 inch glass, so it suits cabinet, furniture, or display doors built around those glass sizes. The hinge channel grips the glass edge while the screw-on side attaches to the supporting structure, giving you a link between the glass panel and wood or other framing. With plastic bushings sized to press-fit into an 8.5 mm hole, the hinge pairs with cabinet sides, tops, or rails that can be drilled for that diameter, which supports use in a range of carcass materials. The polished brass finish on the 517-PB part number presents a brass tone on the hinge leaves, which can complement brass pulls and knobs on matching casework.
The EPCO free swinging glass door hinge uses a 5 mm pin that fits into the plastic bushing, so once you have drilled the 8.5 mm hole and pressed in the bushing, every hinge engages the pivot in the same way for consistent swing. Because the bushing is press-fit, it occupies the drilled hole tightly, which helps keep the pivot position stable over time as the door moves. The screw-on mounting design means the hinge is secured to the cabinet or supporting piece with mechanical fasteners, so the load from the glass transfers through the hinge leaves into the structure. Using a shallow channel to grip 1/4 inch or 3/16 inch glass keeps the hardware close to the door edge, which can reduce interference with interior shelves and lets doors sit nearer to the cabinet face. Together, these details help installers repeat hole patterns and hinge placements across a run of glass doors, streamlining fabrication and alignment.
The EPCO 517-PB shallow channel glass door hinge is designed for 1/4 inch and 3/16 inch glass, so it can be used on doors built around either of those two thicknesses.
The screw-on design lets the hinge fasten mechanically to the supporting frame, so once attached it provides a stable connection point for the glass held in the shallow channel.
The plastic bushings press-fit into an 8.5 mm hole to form a pivot point, so the hinge pin sits in a defined bearing that helps guide smooth, repeatable door movement.
The 5 mm pin is sized to fit the plastic bushing, so once the bushing is in the 8.5 mm hole, the pin locates accurately and keeps the glass door swinging on a fixed axis.
The polished brass finish on the EPCO 517-PB hinge provides a brass look at the hinge points, so it visually coordinates with other brass hardware on cabinets or displays.
A shallow channel glass door hinge for 1/4 inch and 3/16 inch glass is suited to glass cabinet doors, furniture doors, or display cases built around those glass sizes.
