Nickel CLIP Top Hinge for Full Overlay Doors Where Space Is Tight

This Blum CLIP top hinge hangs full overlay doors on frameless and face-frame cabinets, with a 95 degree opening angle engineered for wall-adjacent and space-constrained installs, INSERTA tool-free plate mounting, and a self-close spring that draws the door shut automatically.

Key Features

• 95 degree opening angle is the correct geometry for doors next to a wall, appliance, or adjacent cabinet where a full swing would cause a collision.
• Full overlay straight arm covers nearly the entire cabinet side, leaving only a narrow reveal at the edge.
• Self-close spring pulls the door shut over the last few degrees so it latches without a push.
• INSERTA tool-free plate mounting presses the base plate into pre-drilled 5mm system holes without screws, speeding up the cabinet-side install.
• Clip-on arm engagement attaches the door to the mounted plate without tools and releases the same way for fast door removal.
• Three-way adjustment provides height, side, and depth correction after the door is hung.

The Right Angle for a Constrained Opening

The 95 degree swing is not a compromise — it is the engineered answer for a door that cannot open freely to 110 degrees. A cabinet installed flush against a wall, a tall unit beside a refrigerator, or a base cabinet tucked into a corner all share the same problem: a full-swing door hits an obstacle before it clears the opening. The 95 degree geometry stops the door at the angle that keeps it clear of the obstruction and protects the surrounding cabinetry. The 35mm cup bores into the back of the door and the arm connects to a base plate on the cabinet, ordered separately. That plate is a Blum plate matched to your cabinet construction; plates from other brands will not connect to this hinge.

Steel Construction in a Nickel Finish

The hinge body is plated steel. The nickel finish coordinates with the pulls, knobs, and other hardware on cabinetry where visible hardware runs in a warm silver tone. INSERTA keeps the plate install clean: the pre-mounted system screws press into the cabinet's 5mm holes without driving a single plate screw. The clip-on arm then snaps onto the seated plate, and the three-way adjustment at the cam screws brings height, side, and depth into alignment once the door is hung. The self-close spring holds its tension through daily use so doors continue to latch on their own without adjustment over time.

Where It Belongs on the Job

Specify this hinge on any run where at least some cabinet positions sit against a wall or an adjacent tall unit and a standard 110 degree hinge would cause the door to strike. It works on both frameless production cabinets with 5mm system holes and face-frame boxes. Cabinet shops running kitchens with appliance panels, contractors fitting base runs into tight alcoves, and designers specifying built-in cabinetry with restricted swing all reach for the 95 degree version at those positions. For the rest of the run where swing is unrestricted, the 110 degree version of this same series uses identical plates and finish so the two mix without visual or hardware breaks. Note that INSERTA requires the cabinet to have pre-drilled 5mm system holes; for boxes without them, use the screw-on plate version instead.

Full Overlay Doors That Stop Where They Should

This hinge keeps full overlay doors operating cleanly at positions where a standard swing would cause damage, with tool-free mounting and a nickel finish that carries through the rest of the hardware package.
