This is the mounting plate that fixes Blum hinges to your cabinet carcass. It's a pressed steel cruciform plate designed to work with Blum's CLIP and CLIP top hinge systems, including their soft-close BLUMOTION variants.

Where It Fits

The mounting plate sits inside your cabinet, fixed to the side panel where the door hinge will attach. You'll find these in any kitchen using Blum's CLIP hinge system, from contemporary handleless designs to traditional Shaker styles.

How It Works

Your hinge clips directly onto this plate with a satisfying click, creating a secure connection that won't work loose over time. The cam adjustment system lets you fine-tune your door height by up to 3mm in either direction using a simple quarter-turn mechanism.

Why It Matters

This mounting plate is what makes Blum's hinge system so reliable in daily use. Doors can be removed and refitted quickly for cleaning or adjustment, yet they stay perfectly secure through years of opening and closing. The height adjustment means your installer can achieve that perfect door alignment even if your cabinet isn't perfectly square.

Design Consideration

The cruciform design provides a third fixing point, which becomes essential for wide-opening hinges or particularly heavy doors. This distributes the load more effectively than standard two-point mounting. However, you'll need to consider the internal space this takes up when planning your cabinet storage.

Build Quality

Made from pressed steel with a nickel finish, these plates are built to last. The cam mechanism is simple and robust, designed to maintain its adjustment capability over decades of use. Blum backs this with a lifetime guarantee.

The mounting plate fixes with screws (not included) and works with the complete range of Blum CLIP hinges. Your kitchen designer will specify the exact configuration based on your door weights and opening angles.
