This is Blum's 155° CLIP top BLUMOTION hinge system, supplied as a trade box of 40 hinges with matching mounting plates. Each hinge includes Blum's integrated soft-close mechanism, designed for overlay cabinet doors that need to open wider than standard 110° hinges.

Where It Fits

The 155° opening angle makes these hinges particularly useful for corner cabinets, tall units, or anywhere you need fuller access to the cabinet interior. They work with overlay doors between 20mm and 31mm thick, which covers most kitchen door specifications.

How It Works

The BLUMOTION mechanism is built into each hinge, so your doors close gently and silently without needing separate soft-close devices. The CLIP system means the hinges snap onto their mounting plates for quick installation, and can be removed just as easily for door adjustments.

Why It Matters

That extra 45° of opening compared to standard hinges gives you proper access to corner spaces and deep shelves. The integrated soft-close prevents doors slamming and reduces wear on both hinges and cabinet frames. The zero protrusion design means the hinges don't stick out when doors are closed, keeping your cabinet lines clean.

Build Quality

These are steel construction with a nickel finish. Blum backs them with a lifetime guarantee, reflecting the quality of their mechanism. The adjustment range is generous: +/-2mm for height and side adjustment, with +3mm/-2mm depth adjustment to fine-tune door alignment.

Design Consideration

The trade box format means you're getting 40 hinges at once, which suits larger projects but may be excessive for a single kitchen unless you're planning multiple phases or want spares. The 155° opening angle requires adequate clearance space, so check that adjacent units or walls won't interfere with the door swing.

Options

The mounting plates come with different fixing options depending on your cabinet construction. All necessary screws are included, with additional fixings provided if you select the EXPANDO mounting option for different cabinet materials.

Consider whether the 155° opening angle genuinely benefits your kitchen layout, particularly around corners and tall units where the extra access makes daily use notably easier.
