This is Blum's CLIP top BLUMOTION hinge in a trade box of 80 units. Each hinge features integrated soft-close technology and opens to 110 degrees, designed for inset cabinet doors where the door sits flush within the cabinet frame.

Where It Fits

These hinges work with inset cabinet doors between 16mm and 26mm thick. The 110-degree opening angle suits most kitchen cabinets, giving you good access to the interior without the door swinging too wide into walkways or adjacent units.

How It Works

The BLUMOTION mechanism is built into each hinge, so doors close gently and silently from any angle. You don't need separate soft-close devices. The CLIP system means the hinge clips onto the mounting plate for quick installation, and you can remove doors easily when needed without disturbing the mounting plate.

Each hinge includes a steel mounting plate with multiple adjustment options: +/- 3mm height adjustment, +/- 2mm side adjustment, and +3mm to -2mm depth adjustment. This three-way adjustment helps align doors perfectly, even when cabinet openings aren't perfectly square.

Why It Matters

Soft-close hinges eliminate door slamming, which reduces wear on both doors and cabinet frames over time. The integrated design means fewer components to install and potentially fail. The generous adjustment range matters because it allows your installer to fine-tune door alignment after installation, accounting for settling or minor measurement variations.

Design Consideration

The 110-degree opening works well for standard base and wall cabinets. However, in tight corner situations or where space is particularly constrained, you might need hinges with different opening angles. The inset application creates a clean, furniture-like appearance but requires precise measurement and installation.

Build Quality

These are steel hinges with a nickel finish and carry Blum's lifetime guarantee. The BLUMOTION soft-close mechanism is integrated rather than added on, which typically means more reliable long-term performance. All necessary fixings are included in the box.

Closing Guidance

This trade box format suits kitchens with many doors, as it provides consistent hardware throughout while addressing the common issue of running short of hinges during installation. Your installer will specify the appropriate mounting plate option based on your specific cabinet construction.
