Nickel CLIP Top Hinge with 120-Degree Opening for Full Overlay Doors

This Blum CLIP top hinge brings a wider-than-standard 120-degree opening to full overlay doors on frameless and face-frame cabinets, finished in nickel, with a self-close spring and screw-on mounting.

Key Features

• 120-degree opening angle swings the door further than a standard 110-degree hinge, giving more reach into the cabinet interior.
• Full overlay straight arm positions the door to cover nearly the entire cabinet side, leaving a narrow reveal.
• Self-close spring draws the door shut over the last few degrees of travel.
• Screw-on mounting fastens directly to the cabinet with wood screws, no system holes required.
• Three-way adjustment dials height, side, and depth to bring every door to an even reveal.
• Works on frameless and face-frame cabinets, making it a single hinge for mixed-construction jobs.

Where the Extra Swing Makes a Difference

The 120-degree opening is worth specifying wherever getting into the cabinet matters as much as closing it. Base cabinets in a U-shaped kitchen, tall pantry doors, and corner-adjacent walls all benefit from that extra arc of clearance. The door swings clear of the opening more completely, so reaching to the back of a deep base or a tall cabinet does not mean fighting a half-open door. The 35mm cup bores into the back of the door in the standard way, and the arm clips to a Blum base plate mounted to the cabinet, ordered separately. That plate must be a Blum plate matched to this series; plates from other brands will not connect to this hinge arm.

Steel Construction in a Nickel Finish

The hinge is plated steel finished in nickel, coordinating with nickel pulls, knobs, and other visible hardware in a kitchen or bath. Screw-on mounting is a direct connection to the cabinet: no expanding dowels, no system holes to locate, just wood screws into the cabinet side or face-frame stile. That directness also makes the screw-on version the right call on older or site-built cabinets that were never drilled on a 32mm system. The three-way adjustment range lets the installer bring doors back to square as the cabinet settles, protecting the reveal long after the job is done.

Who Reaches for This Hinge

Cabinet shops and contractors specify the 120-degree version when a project's door layout creates tight reach conditions: base runs with limited aisle clearance, pantry cabinets where the door needs to swing well past 90 degrees to stay out of the way, or upper cabinets positioned near a wall. It suits full overlay doors on both frameless boxes and face-frame construction. This is a self-close hinge: the spring pulls the door shut, but it does not cushion the final contact. For a damped, quiet close on the same door, the BLUMOTION version of this series is the right call instead.

More Opening Clearance, Same Clean Nickel Look

Specify this hinge when a full overlay door needs to swing wider than standard and the finish has to match the rest of the nickel hardware on the job.
