EPCO glass door hinge defines this 517-PC free swinging glass door hinge as a dedicated solution for mounting glass doors while allowing smooth movement. The shallow channel glass door hinge design holds the glass at the edge, so the mounting focuses at the hardware rather than relying on bulky framing, which helps keep sightlines around the door cleaner in cabinet applications. This glass door hinge kit 1/4 3/16 is specified for 1/4 inch and 3/16 inch glass, so a shop can standardize around these common thicknesses for repeat builds. The screw-on polished chrome finish places the EPCO hinge visually at the face of the casework, which matters when the hinge line is exposed on furniture or display units. With EPCO as the brand and the 517-PC glass door hinge part number, the identity stays clear in ordering and replacement work.
The glass door hinge screw-on design allows the EPCO 517-PC hinge to be fastened directly to the supporting structure, so installers can mount it after glass drilling and bushing installation are complete. Plastic bushings press-fit into an 8.5 mm hole, which centers the 5 mm pin and gives the hinge a predictable seat in the drilled opening. The 5 mm pin on the hinge fits into the plastic bushing to form the pivot, so alignment depends on accurately placed 8.5 mm holes in the glass or mating part. The shallow channel glass door hinge layout focuses grip at the glass edge, so fabricators work with the perimeter rather than cutting complex internal features, which keeps the installation steps straightforward around the door outline.
The SAP description defines this unit as a glass door hinge kit for 1/4 inch and 3/16 inch glass, so it targets doors fabricated from those two thicknesses in cabinets, cases, or similar structures. The shallow channel glass door hinge design supports the glass edge, which suits installations where the door meets a frame or carcass and the hinge is positioned at the border of the panel. Because the hinge is free swinging by description, the motion is not spring-assisted or self-closing, which fits situations where the door is moved by hand and held by separate catches or latches in the overall assembly. The screw-on polished chrome finish places a visible hinge line on the mounting surface, so it works on projects where a chrome hardware appearance is part of the design language across the cabinet or display run.
The plastic bushing glass hinge interface, using press-fit bushings in an 8.5 mm hole, defines a standard drilling pattern that can be repeated across multiple doors, which helps shops produce consistent results when processing runs of glass parts. The 5 mm pin glass hinge dimension provides a clear reference for the pivot size, so jigs and drilling templates can be built around the 8.5 mm hole and 5 mm pin combination for predictable alignment. Metal plates specified in the description pair with the screw-on mounting style to concentrate load transfer into the supporting material, so the hinge position stays defined once installation torque is applied. The polished chrome glass door hinge finish also aligns multiple doors visually, so when several EPCO 517-PC hinges are used on a bank of cabinets, the hardware line appears uniform from door to door. With the manufacturer part number 517-PC tied to these characteristics, future replacements can match fit and appearance to the original installation.
The EPCO 517-PC glass door hinge is identified for 1/4 inch and 3/16 inch glass, so projects using these thicknesses can align drilling and layout to that defined range.
The shallow channel glass door hinge supports the glass at the edge, so installers work along the perimeter, helping keep fabrication focused on simple edge positioning.
Plastic bushings press-fit into an 8.5 mm hole and receive the hinge pin, creating a defined bearing surface that guides the free swinging motion at the pivot point.
The EPCO 517-PC hinge uses a 5 mm pin that fits into the matching plastic bushing, so the pivot geometry is based on this clearly defined pin dimension.
The EPCO 517-PC is described as a screw-on polished chrome hinge, so the hinge leaf attaches to the supporting structure using screws driven through the hinge.
The manufacturer part number 517-PC ties directly to this EPCO free swinging glass hinge, helping match glass thickness range, pin size, and finish when ordering replacements.
The EPCO glass door hinge 517-PC pairs a shallow channel glass door hinge design with a screw-on polished chrome finish, so it serves both structural and visual roles on glass-front cabinets and cases. With support for 1/4 inch and 3/16 inch glass, this hinge aligns naturally with standard glass door thicknesses in many woodworking and display applications. The combination of press-fit plastic bushings in an 8.5 mm hole and a 5 mm pin creates a defined pivot standard that shops can build drilling processes around. When a project calls for a free swinging glass door hinge kit 1/4 3/16 that matches these characteristics, this EPCO model provides a clearly specified option.
