Nickel Self-Close Hinge That Holds Full Overlay Doors Across Cabinet Types

This Blum CLIP hinge brings a self-closing spring to full overlay doors on both face-frame and frameless cabinets, with a screw-on mount and a 100 degree opening angle suited to tight wall clearances and appliance garage installations.

Key Features

• Self-close spring pulls the door shut automatically over the final degrees of travel.
• 100 degree opening angle limits the swing where clearance is tight without restricting everyday access.
• Full overlay straight arm positions the door to cover nearly the entire cabinet side, leaving a narrow reveal.
• Screw-on mount fastens to a Blum base plate using wood screws for a solid, permanent connection.
• Three-way adjustment moves the door side to side, up and down, and in and out after installation.
• Nickel finish on steel integrates with existing nickel hardware without visible mismatch.

Where the 100 Degree Opening Earns Its Place

Most concealed cabinet hinges swing to 110 degrees, which is the standard for unobstructed runs. This hinge stops at 100 degrees, and that narrower arc is the point. When a cabinet sits against a wall, beside a tall appliance, or at the end of a run where the door would otherwise swing back and hit a fixed surface, a 100 degree hinge keeps the door in a controlled travel range without extra restriction clips. It is the same full overlay geometry and the same self-closing spring as the standard angle, just with a tighter swing built in from the factory. The 35mm cup bores into the door, and the arm mounts to a matching Blum base plate on the cabinet, ordered separately. Plates are Blum-specific and are not interchangeable with other brands.

Steel Build With a Finish That Coordinates

The hinge is steel with a nickel plating. Nickel reads as a warm, slightly muted silver that pairs naturally with brushed or satin nickel pulls, knobs, and slides. For projects where the hinge body stays visible from certain angles or the interior finish matters to the client, matching the hinge finish to the other hardware is the detail that holds the look together. The steel construction carries the daily load of a production-installed door, and the three-way cam adjustment lets you bring every door to an even reveal as the cabinet settles over time.

The Right Fit for Face-Frame and Frameless Boxes

This hinge works across both cabinet construction types. On a frameless box, the base plate screws to the side panel. On a face-frame cabinet, it mounts to the stile. The screw-on connection suits either environment and is the appropriate choice when a clip-on plate is not in use or when a permanent fixed connection is preferred over a quick-release arm. Cabinet shops running mixed construction, remodelers updating existing boxes, and finish carpenters who want a single hinge that handles whatever cabinet they encounter will all find this configuration useful. For doors in the standard 16 to 22mm thickness range, this is a direct-fit install. Doors thicker than 22mm call for a thick-door hinge instead.

Common Questions

Controlled Swing, Reliable Close, Clean Nickel Finish

Specify this hinge when the installation calls for a full overlay door that closes on its own, fits into a tight clearance situation, and needs to match a nickel finish across the job.
