This is Blum's CLIP top hinge specifically designed for aluminium-framed cabinet doors, finished in their dark Onyx coating. It opens to 95 degrees rather than the standard 110 degrees, making it suitable for situations where you need a more restrained door swing.

Where It Fits

You'll use this hinge on overlay doors with narrow aluminium frames, typically in contemporary kitchens where the door construction uses aluminium extrusions around glass, timber, or composite panels. The 95-degree opening angle works well in tighter spaces or where adjacent walls would limit a full swing.

How It Works

The CLIP mechanism allows you to attach and remove doors without tools, simply by pressing and lifting. Once mounted, you get three-dimensional adjustment - the door can move in, out, up, down, and side to side to achieve perfect alignment. The spiral screw gives you precise depth control within a 5mm range.

Why It Matters

This tool-free attachment means doors can be easily removed for cleaning or maintenance, then clicked back into position. The comprehensive adjustment range means your installer can fine-tune each door perfectly, even if the cabinet construction isn't millimetre-perfect.

Design Consideration

The 95-degree opening works well when you have limited clearance, but consider whether this restricted swing suits how you use these particular cabinets. For deeper cabinets where you need to reach inside, the standard 110-degree version might serve you better. The Onyx finish provides a dark, contemporary look that works with modern hardware schemes.

Build Quality

This is steel construction with Blum's lifetime guarantee. The Onyx finish is a dark coating that resists wear and maintains its appearance over time. You'll need to specify matching CLIP mounting plates separately, as these aren't included.

Options

You can add Blum's BLUMOTION soft-close mechanism or TIP-ON touch-opening system to these hinges. The adjustment ranges are 3mm forward and 2mm back for depth, plus 2mm each way for side adjustment.

Closing Guidance

This hinge suits you if you're using aluminium-framed doors and either prefer the controlled 95-degree swing or need it due to space constraints. Your kitchen designer will specify the correct mounting plates and can advise whether the opening angle works for your particular cabinet layout and usage patterns.
