This Blum CLIP top bi-fold hinge handles folding cabinet doors on both face-frame and frameless boxes, with a 60-degree opening arc and dowel-mount attachment that locks the cup into the door without cup screws.
Bi-fold cabinet doors fold in pairs rather than swinging wide on a single pivot. One panel hinges to the cabinet and one folds against it, and the hinge geometry has to guide that motion without letting the panels collide or rack. The 60-degree opening on this hinge controls exactly that: the door panel swings just far enough to allow the fold, and no farther. It is the correct arc for a bi-fold setup, not a restricted one. Pair it with a center folding hinge on the panel joint to complete the door assembly. The 35mm cup bores into the back of the door panel, and the hinge arm clips to a Blum base plate mounted to the cabinet, ordered separately.
The dowel-mount design is built for production environments. Instead of cup screws, the hinge carries pre-attached dowels that press into bored holes in the door, a faster and more repeatable connection on a CNC line where the holes are already in the program. The hinge is plated steel in a nickel finish, and the CLIP top arm connects to the plate with a clip so panels can be taken off and rehung without tools during the install sequence.
This hinge suits cabinet shops running bi-fold doors in volume on CNC-bored panels, as well as contractors and installers fitting bi-fold cabinet fronts on frameless or face-frame boxes. The dowel mount is the right call when panel holes are bored on a machine and screw-on cups would slow the line. For a bi-fold application that needs screw-on cup attachment instead, or soft-close damping rather than a self-close spring, those are separate variants in this series. This hinge is for the builder who wants a fast, consistent press-in connection and a self-close spring on a Blum CLIP top platform.
Yes. A bi-fold door needs this hinge at the cabinet side plus a center folding hinge at the panel joint. The base plate that the arm clips to is also sold separately; match a Blum plate to your cabinet construction.
The cup carries pre-attached dowels that press into bored holes in the door panel rather than fastening with cup screws. The holes need to be bored to the correct diameter and position, which is standard on CNC-bored panels. No screwdriver is needed at the cup itself.
No. The arm connects to Blum plates only. Plate mounting patterns and clip mechanisms differ by brand, so a plate from another manufacturer will not engage this hinge correctly.
No. This is a self-close hinge: a spring pulls the panel shut over the last few degrees of travel. It does not cushion or slow the close. For a damped, quiet close on a bi-fold door, look to the soft-close variant in this series.
Specify this hinge when the job calls for a dowel-mount, self-close CLIP top hinge on bi-fold cabinet doors, and the install needs to move at production speed.
