The EPCO 517-PC is a free-swinging, screw-on glass door hinge finished in Polished Chrome, built to mount thin glass cabinet doors between 3/16 and 1/4 inch thick. The bright finish stays visible on the door, so it contributes to the look of the cabinet rather than disappearing behind it.
Display cabinets, hutches, and china cabinets often carry thin glass doors in the 3/16 to 1/4 inch range, and those doors need a hinge sized and finished to suit. The 517-PC screws directly to the cabinet frame, so installation is straightforward and no clip-on plate or separate mounting system is involved. Free-swinging motion suits these applications well: a display door left open stays open, and a door nudged closed stays closed with the help of a magnetic catch rather than a spring. If you want the door to pull shut on its own, this is not the right hinge; a self-closing glass hinge handles that job.
Hardware on a glass door is visible from every angle, which makes finish selection a real design decision rather than a background detail. Polished Chrome reads bright and clean against clear or lightly tinted glass, and it coordinates naturally with chrome pulls, knobs, and other visible hardware in the same run. The metal construction holds the finish without the soft edges of a plated plastic body, and the compact footprint keeps the hinge from dominating the glass panel it carries.
This hinge suits homeowners refreshing a hutch or china cabinet, designers specifying glass-front display pieces, and cabinet shops building or repairing traditional glass-door cabinetry. Because the hardware is visible, matching it to the surrounding finish family matters as much as matching it to the glass thickness. The 3/16 to 1/4 inch thickness window covers the thin glass typical of these applications; panels outside that range need a different hinge sized to their thickness.
This is a screw-on hinge that attaches to the cabinet frame, not through the glass, so the glass itself is not drilled. That said, glass panels in cabinet doors are commonly tempered as a safety measure regardless of the hinge type, and confirming the glass specification with your supplier is good practice.
No. Free-swinging means there is no spring or damper; the door stays wherever you leave it. For automatic closing, pair the door with a magnetic catch or choose a self-closing glass hinge instead.
No separate plate is needed. The screw-on design mounts directly to the cabinet stile or frame, so the hinge is the complete mounting solution.
This hinge fits panels from 3/16 to 1/4 inch only. Glass thicker than 1/4 inch needs a hinge with a wider grip range to seat and clamp correctly.
When the design calls for Polished Chrome on a thin glass cabinet door, the EPCO 517-PC delivers a secure, proportional mount that holds its finish and stays out of the way of the glass it carries.
