Nickel Full Overlay Hinge That Opens to 120 Degrees

This Blum CLIP top hinge hangs full overlay doors on both frameless and face-frame cabinets, with a self-close spring and a 120 degree opening that gives noticeably wider access than the standard 110 degree swing.

Key Features

• 120 degree opening angle swings the door wider than standard, improving access to the full cabinet interior.
• Full overlay straight arm positions the door to cover nearly the entire cabinet side, leaving only a narrow reveal.
• Self-close spring pulls the door shut over the last few degrees of travel.
• Dowel mount presses the cup into pre-bored 8mm dowel holes in the door for a fast, screw-free door-side installation.
• Three-way adjustment moves the door in height, side, and depth to dial in an even reveal after hanging.
• Nickel finish on plated steel blends with the surrounding hardware on both painted and natural-wood doors.

Where the Extra Swing Earns Its Place

Ten degrees beyond standard does not sound like much until the cabinet is full and the door is in the way. A 120 degree opening clears more of the box mouth, which matters on corner cabinets, pantry pulls, and any run where doors are close together and access matters more than a minimized swing arc. It is also the practical choice for accessible kitchens and for commercial casework where the doors need to stand well clear while someone works at the opening.

The hinge body seats in a 35mm cup bored into the back of the door. The arm connects to a Blum base plate mounted to the cabinet side or stile, ordered separately. That plate carries the clip-on connection the CLIP top platform is built around, so doors lift off and rehang without tools when a cabinet needs servicing.

Finish and Construction

The hinge is plated steel in a nickel finish, the same neutral tone that pairs with brushed-nickel pulls, stainless appliances, and chrome fixtures without competing. It holds up in the dry indoor environment of a standard kitchen or bath cabinet. The self-close spring draws the door home reliably, and the three-way cam adjustment keeps the reveal consistent as the cabinet settles over time.

Who Reaches for This Hinge

Cabinet shops running production on full-overlay frameless boxes will find the dowel mount speeds up door-side boring on a CNC line, with no cup screws to drive. Contractors and remodelers fitting out face-frame kitchens get the same hinge on a different box type, matched to the matching Blum face-frame plate. Designers specifying accessible kitchens or high-traffic pantry cabinetry get the wider clearance built in rather than added on. For standard everyday access where 110 degrees is sufficient, the standard-angle version is the more economical pick. For a damped, cushioned close on this same wider-angle door, the BLUMOTION version of this series is the one to specify instead, noting that soft-close is available on this platform at this angle.
