Wider Clearance in Nickel: Full Overlay Self-Close for Frameless and Face-Frame Cabinets

This Blum CLIP top hinge opens full overlay doors to 120 degrees, giving noticeably more clearance than a standard 110-degree hinge, with self-close and INSERTA toolless mounting for both frameless and face-frame cabinet installations.

Key Features

• 120-degree opening angle swings the door wider than standard, making deep cabinet interiors more accessible.
• Full overlay straight arm positions the door to cover nearly the entire cabinet side, leaving a narrow reveal.
• Self-close spring pulls the door shut automatically over the final degrees of travel.
• INSERTA toolless mounting presses the base plate into pre-drilled 5mm system holes without screws or a driver.
• Three-way adjustment dials height, side, and depth after the door is hung.
• Nickel finish on plated steel blends with a wide range of cabinet hardware and interior palettes.

More Door Swing Where Access Matters

The 120-degree opening is the practical reason to choose this hinge over the standard 110-degree version. That extra ten degrees matters in a few common situations: a tall pantry door where a wider swing clears a taller person stepping through, a base cabinet in a tight galley where the extra clearance keeps the door from blocking the path, or a utility cabinet where the door needs to stay well out of the way while both hands are working inside. The 35mm cup bores into the back of the door in the usual way, and the arm clips to a Blum base plate mounted to the cabinet side. That plate is sold separately and must be a Blum plate matched to your cabinet construction. For corners or wall-adjacent doors where even 120 degrees would cause contact, a restriction clip can limit the swing instead.

Steel, Nickel, and the Adjustment That Keeps Doors Square

The hinge body is plated steel. The nickel finish coordinates with brushed and satin hardware across kitchens, baths, and built-ins without drawing attention to the hinge itself, which stays hidden behind the door when it is closed. Three-way adjustment handles the settling that happens after installation: height and side bring the reveal back to even, and depth moves the door face in or out to match adjacent doors. The self-close spring does its job over years of daily cycling, so it is worth confirming the hinge count against the manufacturer load table for taller or heavier doors.

Where This Hinge Belongs

This is the right pick when the design or the layout calls for a wider swing than 110 degrees and the closing action is a spring pull rather than a damped settle. It works on frameless cabinets and face-frame cabinets alike, which makes it useful across mixed job sites. INSERTA mounting is the fastest plate-to-cabinet method when the box already has 5mm pre-drilled system holes. For cabinets without those holes, the screw-on plate version of this hinge keeps the same 120-degree geometry and self-close action. If the priority is a quieter, cushioned close rather than a wider swing, the BLUMOTION soft-close version of the CLIP top line handles that instead.
