The 100° CLIP Standard Hinge is Blum's reliable hinge for cabinet doors up to 24mm thick. It opens to 100 degrees, which gives you good access to your cabinet contents while keeping the door clear of adjacent units or walls in tighter spaces.

Where It Fits

This hinge works for most standard kitchen cabinets, particularly where you need a controlled opening angle. The 100-degree opening is useful in galley kitchens or where cabinet doors might otherwise hit walls, appliances, or each other when fully opened.

How It Works

The CLIP mechanism lets you attach and remove cabinet doors without tools. You simply clip the door onto the mounting plate, and it holds securely until you need to remove it for cleaning or adjustments. The hinge includes three-way adjustment, so your kitchen fitter can fine-tune the door position by a few millimeters in any direction after installation.

Why It Matters

Being able to remove doors easily means thorough cleaning around hinges and cabinet frames. The adjustment capability matters because kitchen cabinets settle slightly over time, and being able to realign doors keeps your kitchen looking precise.

Design Consideration

The 100-degree opening angle is the key consideration here. If you need doors to open fully flat against adjacent cabinets, you would need the 110-degree version instead. This 100-degree version works well where space is constrained or where you want to prevent doors from opening too wide.

Build Quality

The hinge body is steel with a nickel finish. Blum backs these hinges with a lifetime guarantee, reflecting the durability of their CLIP mechanism. The sprung closing action gives a controlled, consistent feel each time you close the door.

Options

You can add Blum's BLUMOTION device to create soft-close action, or their TIP-ON system for push-to-open functionality on handleless doors. The hinge requires a separate mounting plate, which comes in different configurations depending on your cabinet construction.

Closing Guidance

This hinge suits most standard applications where reliable function matters more than special features. Consider your cabinet layout carefully - the 100-degree opening works well in most kitchens, but measure your specific space to be certain it provides the access you need.
