This is Blum's standard cabinet door hinge, designed to open doors to 107 degrees. It's the foundation hinge for most kitchen cabinet applications, suitable for doors up to 26mm thick.

Where It Fits

You'll find these hinges on virtually every cabinet door in your kitchen, from wall units to base cabinets. The 107-degree opening angle gives you good access to the cabinet interior without the door swinging too wide, making it practical for most kitchen layouts.

How It Works

The hinge uses Blum's CLIP mechanism, which lets you remove and reattach cabinet doors without tools. The door simply clips on and off the mounting plate that stays fixed to the cabinet. Three adjustment screws let you fine-tune the door position in all directions, with +3mm to -1mm depth adjustment, ±3mm height adjustment, and ±2mm side adjustment.

Why It Matters

This adjustability becomes important over time as your kitchen settles and doors may need realignment. You can make these adjustments yourself without removing the door from the cabinet. The tool-free door removal is particularly useful during installation or if you need to remove doors for painting or repair.

Design Consideration

This is the standard spring-loaded version, so doors will close under their own weight but won't have soft-close dampening. If you want doors to close gently and quietly, you'd add Blum's BLUMOTION soft-close mechanism or specify the integrated soft-close version instead. The nickel finish works with most cabinet hardware but isn't adjustable for different aesthetic preferences.

Build Quality

The steel construction and nickel plating provide durability, and Blum backs these hinges with a lifetime guarantee. The mechanism has been refined over decades of use and handles the daily opening and closing cycles that kitchen doors endure.

Options

These hinges require a separate mounting plate, which comes in different versions depending on your cabinet construction. You can upgrade the closing action by adding BLUMOTION soft-close devices or TIP-ON touch-to-open mechanisms while keeping the same hinge body.

Closing Guidance

If your kitchen design calls for standard cabinet door function without soft-close, these hinges provide reliable, adjustable hardware that will serve your kitchen well for years. Consider whether the spring-loaded closing action suits your household, or if you'd prefer to specify soft-close versions for a quieter kitchen experience.
