This Blum CLIP top hinge is a half overlay, self-close concealed hinge in a nickel finish, engineered for the 95-degree opening that thick-door and wall-adjacent applications demand. It works on both face-frame and frameless cabinets and mounts via press-in dowels for a fast, clean install.
A 95-degree opening is not a constraint — it is the design answer for situations where a full swing would cause the door to collide with something beside it. Wall-mounted cabinets positioned near a corner, doors whose travel is stopped by an appliance or adjacent run of cabinetry, and thick-door applications where the added material narrows the safe arc all call for this angle. The door opens far enough for everyday access and stops before it reaches the obstacle. The half-crank arm places the door at a partial overlay, which is the right geometry when two doors share one center partition and each covers roughly half of it. The 35mm cup bores into the back of the door, and the dowel mount presses directly into pre-bored holes, so no cup screws are needed on the door side. A compatible Blum base plate mounts to the cabinet and the arm clips on, ordered separately.
The hinge body is plated steel. The nickel finish sits in the middle of the tone range — warmer than chrome, cooler than brass — and pairs naturally with satin nickel pulls, knobs, and drawer slides when a consistent metal finish across the cabinet is the goal. The self-close spring holds its tension through the repetitive cycling of a working kitchen or bath, and the three-way cam adjustment keeps the reveal even as cabinets settle over time. Height runs plus or minus 2mm, side runs plus or minus 2mm, and depth runs plus 3mm and minus 2mm, giving enough range to correct for minor installation variation without swapping parts.
Cabinet shops running CNC production lines reach for the dowel-mount version because it eliminates cup screws and speeds the door-boring step. Contractors and installers working on remodels where the new cabinet box lands close to a wall or adjacent run specify the 95-degree angle so the door swing is resolved before the first callback. The half overlay fits double-door cabinets on shared partitions, which appear in nearly every kitchen layout. This hinge suits face-frame and frameless boxes equally, so it carries through a mixed-construction job without a separate SKU for each cabinet type. For doors that need a wider swing where clearance is not an issue, the 110-degree version of this series is the standard choice. This hinge is for indoor cabinetry.
The 95-degree angle is intentional. It is the swing that lets a thick door or a door next to a wall clear its surroundings without striking them. If your cabinet has no clearance restriction, the 110-degree version of this series gives a wider everyday opening.
A dowel-mount hinge carries pre-attached dowels that press directly into bored holes in the door, with no cup screws needed. A screw-on cup uses two wood screws to fasten the cup. Dowel mount is common in CNC and production shops because it removes one step from the door-boring process.
No. The hinge clips to a Blum base plate that mounts to the cabinet, and that plate is sold separately. Blum plates are brand-specific, so use a Blum plate matched to your cabinet construction and the overlay position you need.
No. This is a self-close hinge: a spring pulls the door shut over the last few degrees of travel. It does not cushion or slow the close. For a damped, quiet close on a 95-degree application, look for the BLUMOTION soft-close version in this series.
When the layout calls for a half overlay door that closes on its own, fits beside a wall or adjacent cabinet without swinging free, and matches a nickel finish run, this hinge covers all three in one part.
