Overview

The Perko 0271DP0CHR is a semi-concealed fixed-pin hinge for 3/8 inch inset doors, made from chrome-plated stamped brass and supplied as a pair. It is set up for #4 screws, which helps when you are matching existing cabinet hardware on board or building new joinery around a known hinge size.

This hinge is meant for inset cabinet and locker doors where you want a polished metal finish without a full surface-mount hinge showing on the face of the door. On a boat, that makes it a practical fit for cabin lockers, galley doors, berth storage, and other interior joinery that uses a traditional inset layout.

Key features

• Made for 3/8 inch inset doors
• Semi-concealed hinge layout keeps less hardware visible when the door is closed
• Chrome-plated stamped brass construction
• Fixed-pin design
• Uses #4 screws
• Supplied as one pair

Compatibility and fit

Check the door style before ordering, because this hinge is for inset doors and not for overlay doors. The 3/8 inch inset is the key fit point, so it is worth confirming that measurement on the door and frame before drilling or using it as a replacement.

This style is a straightforward choice when you are replacing the same hinge pattern on older marine cabinetry or when you want bright metal hardware on a new interior build. It is cabinet hardware for doors and access panels inside the boat rather than heavy exterior closures.

Installation and use

Because this is a semi-concealed inset hinge, door alignment matters. A clean fit depends on the cabinet opening, the inset depth, and correct placement for #4 fasteners. When used on properly built joinery, it gives inset doors a neat swing and a tidy finished look from the cabin side.

This hinge suits owners refitting cabin furniture as well as builders finishing custom lockers and interior storage. It makes the most sense in protected spaces where polished hardware matches the rest of the cabin trim.
