No-Mortise Hinge

A surface-mount hinge designed to be installed without cutting a mortise (recess) into the door or frame. No-mortise hinges have thin, interlocking leaves that fold flat enough to close properly without a mortise cavity. They simplify installation, reduce labor time, and are commonly used on overlay doors, RTA cabinets, and retrofit applications where cutting mortises is impractical or undesirable.
