This Blum CLIP top hinge mounts by dowel and delivers a self-closing swing on full overlay doors, working on both frameless and face-frame cabinets where a 95-degree opening keeps the door clear of walls, adjacent cabinets, or the door's own thick edge.
A standard concealed hinge swings to 110 degrees, and that works for most cabinets. But some situations call for a controlled, shorter arc: a cabinet positioned near a wall, a run of uppers where one door would swing into the next, or a thick door that needs a tighter geometry to clear the cabinet front without binding. At 95 degrees, this hinge keeps the door firmly within that reduced arc. The full overlay arm still covers the cabinet side the way a standard full-overlay hinge does, so the appearance is the same. It is the swing that differs, and it differs by design.
The 35mm cup bores into the back of the door and the arm clips to a base plate mounted on the cabinet side, ordered separately. For the plate connection, this hinge uses dowel mounting at the cup, pressing into pre-bored dowel holes rather than using cup screws. That suits CNC and production shops running a dowelled workflow, where pre-bored panels move through the line without a separate cup-screw step.
The hinge body is steel with a nickel finish. Nickel sits between chrome and satin in tone, reading as warm without being yellow, which makes it a natural match for nickel-finished drawer slides and pulls in both traditional and transitional kitchens. The CLIP top platform means the arm releases from the plate by pressing a lever, so door removal for painting or adjustment does not require unscrewing the hinge from the door. Three-way adjustment handles the fine-tuning once the doors are on: height and side bring the reveal into alignment, and depth brings the face of the door flush with its neighbors.
Cabinet shops running CNC with a dowelled boring program will find this hinge fits naturally into that workflow. Contractors who encounter wall-adjacent or tight-clearance conditions mid-install can specify this in place of the standard 110-degree version without changing any other part of the setup. It is also the right pick for thick doors in the Blum CLIP top system, where the 95-degree angle is the engineered solution for clearing the cabinet front. This hinge works on frameless and face-frame cabinets alike. A matching Blum base plate is required and sold separately. Plates are specific to the Blum CLIP top system and are not interchangeable with plates from other brands.
The 95-degree angle is the right choice when the door's swing needs to stay within a limited arc, such as a cabinet next to a wall or appliance, two doors that would collide at full swing, or a thick door that needs the shorter arc to clear the cabinet front. If none of those conditions apply, the 110-degree version gives more access.
Dowel mounting uses pre-attached dowels on the cup that press into bored holes in the door, replacing the cup screws used on a standard screw-on hinge. Your cabinet door needs to be bored for dowels at the correct spacing. This is a common CNC boring pattern; confirm it matches your program before ordering.
No. The base plate mounts to the cabinet and is sold separately. Use a Blum CLIP top plate matched to your cabinet construction. Plates from other brands will not connect to this hinge.
No. This hinge is self-close: a spring pulls the door shut over the last few degrees. It does not cushion or slow the closing motion. For a damped, quiet close, look for the BLUMOTION version in this series.
Specify this hinge when the job calls for full overlay doors that close on their own, fit a tight-clearance or thick-door condition, and match a nickel hardware scheme across the cabinet run.
