Nickel Concealed Hinge for Half Overlay Doors at a Wide 120-Degree Swing

This Blum CLIP top hinge opens half overlay doors to 120 degrees on both face-frame and frameless cabinets, with INSERTA toolless mounting and a self-close spring, all in a nickel finish.

Key Features

• 120-degree opening swings the door wider than the standard 110-degree range for easier access to cabinet contents.
• Half overlay, half crank arm positions the door to cover part of the cabinet side, the correct geometry for two doors sharing a center partition.
• Self-close spring draws the door shut automatically over the last few degrees of travel.
• INSERTA toolless mounting presses the base plate into pre-drilled 5mm system holes without screws for fast plate installation.
• Three-way adjustment dials in height, side, and depth after mounting to bring doors to a consistent reveal.
• Nickel finish on plated steel coordinates with brushed and satin metal hardware across the cabinet run.

Wide Swing Where Two Doors Share a Partition

Half overlay is the geometry for pairs of doors that meet at a single center partition, where each door covers roughly half the cabinet side. This hinge is built for that layout, with a half crank arm that positions the door correctly so both leaves clear each other and seat evenly. The 35mm cup bores into the back of the door, and the arm clips to a Blum base plate on the cabinet, which is ordered separately. The 120-degree opening goes beyond the everyday 110-degree standard, pulling the door farther back and opening more of the cabinet interior, useful in corner-adjacent runs or anywhere a little extra clearance matters.

Nickel Finish and a Spring That Holds

The hinge is plated steel with a nickel finish that reads as a clean, neutral complement to satin and brushed metal pulls, knobs, and slides. The self-close spring pulls the door shut from a few degrees open, so doors do not drift or stand ajar. This is a spring-pull close, not a damped one: the door closes with purpose. The three-way adjustment compensates for cabinet movement and settling over time, keeping pairs of doors at a matched reveal without resetting the full install.

Where This Hinge Fits the Job

This hinge suits cabinet shops and contractors working on frameless or face-frame boxes where two doors land on a shared center stile or partition and a wider swing is part of the design brief. INSERTA mounting requires the cabinet to have pre-drilled 5mm system holes on the 32mm grid; for boxes without them, use the screw-on plate version instead. Standard door thickness for this hinge runs 16 to 22mm. For doors beyond that range, a thick-door hinge is the right call. Homeowners replacing worn or broken hardware on an existing half-overlay layout will find this hinge matches the bore pattern and overlay of the original without modification.
