Deltana CH3020 Cabinet Hinge, 3" x 2", with Ball Tips (Pair)

One order quantity of the CH3020 is a pair, so you get two hinges. Most cabinet doors hang on two hinges, which means one pair per door. Tall pantry or full height doors are usually hung on three, so those take two pairs and leave you a spare hinge. Count your doors before ordering rather than counting hinges.

Six screw holes, sized for #7 x 3/4 inch wood screws. That 3/4 inch length is worth checking against your stiles: on a 3/4 inch face frame or door edge the screw is close to fully buried, and on anything thinner you want a shorter screw so it does not break through the back. There is no machine screw prep on this hinge, so it fastens into solid wood only, not into a metal frame or a pre-tapped hole.

Deltana lists the CH3020 as a residential product. It suits kitchen, bath, and furniture cabinetry in homes and apartment units. For casework in a school, hospital, or public restroom that gets opened hundreds of times a day, specify commercial grade cabinet hardware instead. Property managers doing apartment turnovers are inside the intended use.

Eleven finishes, which is usually enough to match whatever is already on the run: PVD Polished Brass, Polished Brass, Unlacquered Brass, Antique Brass, Polished Nickel, Brushed Nickel, Antique Nickel, Polished Chrome, Brushed Chrome, Oil Rubbed Bronze, and Paint Black. If you are matching pulls and knobs already installed, match to the exact finish name rather than by eye, since polished and PVD polished brass read close in a photo and differently in daylight.

Unlacquered brass is bare solid brass with no coating over it, so it darkens and patinas with handling and humidity. That is the point of it in a period kitchen, and it is the wrong pick for a client who expects the hardware to stay bright. Polished Brass carries a clear protective coat, and PVD Polished Brass uses a vapor deposited coating that holds its color the longest of the three. All three are the same solid brass hinge underneath.

The ball tips come on the hinge as standard, in the same finish as the leaves. There is no finial to specify or add to the order. Pick your finish and the hinge arrives complete.

Solid brass through the body of the hinge, not a plating over steel. That matters in a bathroom vanity or a coastal kitchen, where a plated steel hinge rusts from the inside once the coating gets nicked. The finish sits on top of brass, so a scratch exposes more brass rather than bare steel.
