Nickel Finish and Precise Fit for Angled Cabinet Doors

This Blum CLIP top angled hinge is built for doors on cabinets set at a +15 degree outward angle, such as bay-style and angled casework, on both face-frame and frameless boxes. It brings a nickel finish, self-closing spring, and INSERTA toolless plate mounting to a specialty geometry most standard hinges cannot handle.

Key Features

• +15 degree cabinet angle geometry is engineered for bay-style and outward-angled cabinet openings, not for standard square boxes.
• Full overlay straight arm positions the door to cover nearly the entire cabinet side, leaving a narrow reveal at the frame edge.
• Self-close spring draws the door shut automatically over the last few degrees of travel.
• INSERTA toolless mounting presses the base plate into pre-drilled 5mm system holes without screws, keeping the install fast on the cabinet side.
• Clip-on arm engagement lets the door hang and release from the plate without tools.
• Three-way cam adjustment dials height, side, and depth after the door is hung, so the reveal stays even as the cabinet settles.

Where This Hinge Belongs

Bay cabinets, angled peninsula corners, and specialty casework with a +15 degree outward face are the natural home for this hinge. At that cabinet angle, a standard square-bore concealed hinge will bind or leave the door sitting off-plane. The +15 degree arm geometry lets the door swing clear of the angled opening and land at a proper full overlay. The 35mm cup bores into the back of the door at standard depth, and the arm clips to a Blum base plate mounted on the cabinet, sold separately. A matching Blum plate is required to complete the installation, and plates are brand-specific, so non-Blum plates will not connect correctly.

The 95 degree opening angle is correct for this application. An angled cabinet opening limits the available swing, and 95 degrees is the engineering answer that keeps the door from colliding with adjacent surfaces as it opens.

Steel Construction in a Nickel Finish

The hinge is plated steel in a nickel finish, consistent with the broader Blum CLIP top family. Nickel coordinates naturally with brushed or satin metal pulls and other Nickel-finish hardware in a run, which matters on angled installations where the hinge body is sometimes more visible than on a flat cabinet face. The self-close spring is internal to the hinge, so no separate spring mechanism is needed. For a cushioned, damped close rather than a spring pull, the BLUMOTION soft-close version of this angle hinge is the alternative to specify.

For the Installer Working Through Angled Casework

This hinge suits cabinet shops, millwork contractors, and remodelers who encounter bay cabinet runs or angled corner cabinets as part of a larger project. INSERTA mounting keeps the plate install moving on 32mm system boxes with pre-drilled 5mm holes. If the cabinet does not have system holes, a screw-on Blum plate is the correct pairing instead. The clip-on arm means doors can be hung and pulled off the cabinet without tools during fitting, which saves time when dialing in an angled run. Doors in the standard 16 to 22mm thickness range are the right fit here.

The Right Hardware for an Angled Opening

When the cabinet face steps out at 15 degrees, this hinge provides the geometry, the nickel finish, and the INSERTA speed to keep the install clean and the door sitting where it should.
