Nickel Finish Diagonal Hinge for +45 Degree Angled Cabinets

This Blum CLIP top III angled concealed hinge is built for cabinet faces set at a +45 degree angle, covering bay cabinets, diagonal corner boxes, and angled kitchen runs on both face-frame and frameless construction. The INSERTA plate mount and self-close spring round out a hinge designed for the geometry most standard hinges simply cannot handle.

Key Features

• +45 degree cabinet angle geometry fits outward-angled cabinet faces, including bay and diagonal corner boxes.
• Self-close spring pulls the door shut over the last few degrees of travel without a separate closer.
• 95 degree opening provides the clearance angle engineered for angled cabinet geometry.
• INSERTA toolless plate mounting presses the base plate into pre-drilled 5mm system holes without screws for fast, repeatable installs.
• Clip-on arm engagement lets you hang or remove a door without tools once the plate is set.
• Three-way adjustment dials height, side, and depth independently to bring angled doors to an even reveal.

Angled Geometry That Standard Hinges Cannot Deliver

A standard concealed hinge is machined for a 90 degree cabinet face. Use it on a +45 degree angled face and the door will not close square, the arm will bind, and the reveal will be uneven. This hinge is built specifically for that outward angle, which appears on bay window cabinets, diagonal corner upper cabinets, and angled kitchen runs where the cabinet face meets the wall at 45 degrees rather than flush. The 35mm cup bores into the back of the door in the usual way; the arm connects to a Blum base plate on the angled cabinet face. That plate is sold separately and must be a Blum plate matched to this series. Do not pair this hinge with plates from another brand or with plates from an earlier Blum CLIP series, as the bore patterns differ.

Steel Build, Nickel Finish, and Field Adjustment

The hinge body is plated steel in a Nickel finish. Nickel reads as a warm, slightly muted silver that coordinates naturally with brushed stainless appliances and hardware, and it holds up well in the kitchen environment. Three-way adjustment handles what the angled geometry often introduces: small cumulative errors in door alignment. The depth cam moves the door in and out up to 3mm forward and 2mm back, the side cam shifts it side to side by 2mm in either direction, and the height cam adjusts 2mm up or down. Working all three independently lets an installer level a door on an angled face the same way they would on a straight run.

Where This Hinge Belongs

This is the hinge for cabinet shops, kitchen designers, and contractors who regularly touch angled or bay cabinet work. It suits frameless boxes and face-frame cabinets equally, so one SKU covers a mixed run. INSERTA mounting requires the cabinet to have pre-drilled 5mm system holes at the correct spacing; for site-built or custom boxes without those holes, specify the screw-on plate version instead. The 95 degree opening is intentional for this cabinet angle: it gives the door clearance to swing open without the leading edge colliding with the adjacent cabinet or wall surface. That is the correct engineering for this application, not a shortcoming to work around.

Common Questions

The Right Hinge for the Right Angle

Angled cabinet runs deserve hardware built for the geometry. This Blum CLIP top III diagonal hinge in Nickel brings self-close function, INSERTA speed, and full three-way adjustment to every +45 degree door on the job.
