Nickel Finish and Precise Fit for Half Overlay Doors

This Blum CLIP hinge is built for half overlay doors on face-frame and frameless cabinets, delivering a self-closing spring close and a clean nickel finish at a 100-degree opening angle.

Key Features

• Self-close spring pulls the door shut over the last few degrees of travel automatically.
• Half overlay, half crank arm positions the door to cover part of the cabinet side, the geometry two doors use on a shared center partition.
• 100-degree opening angle provides controlled swing suited to tight or wall-adjacent cabinet runs.
• Screw-on mounting fastens the hinge arm directly to the base plate with screws for a firm, fixed connection.
• Three-way adjustment dials in height, side, and depth so doors line up to an even reveal after install.
• Nickel finish on plated steel coordinates with nickel pulls, knobs, and other visible hardware in the space.

Where the Half Crank Earns Its Place

Half overlay is the configuration for two doors meeting on one center partition, each covering roughly half the panel edge. This hinge's half crank arm sets that geometry precisely, so paired doors sit at an even reveal without the arms colliding behind them. It works on both frameless box cabinets and face-frame construction, which makes it a consistent choice across a mixed job where both cabinet types appear. The 35mm cup bores into the back of the door at a standard 45mm pattern, and the arm connects to a base plate mounted on the cabinet, ordered separately.

Steel Build in a Finish That Coordinates

The hinge is plated steel in a nickel finish. For kitchens and baths where nickel hardware runs through the pulls, knobs, and other visible fittings, this finish keeps the inside of the cabinet consistent with the face. The screw-on connection between arm and plate is the strongest fixed option in the CLIP family: no tool-free release, just a solid mechanical lock that holds up under heavy daily use. Three-way adjustment remains available, so the door can still be dialed to a precise reveal with cam screws after the plate is set.

Right for High-Use Runs and Mixed Cabinet Jobs

This hinge suits contractors and cabinet shops running kitchens, bath vanities, or built-ins where half overlay doors are the specified layout. The 100-degree opening is a deliberate, controlled angle suited to cabinet runs where a wider swing would put the door into a wall or adjacent unit. Face-frame and frameless compatibility means a single SKU covers both box types on a job. For a damped, cushioned close rather than a spring pull, the BLUMOTION soft-close version of this series handles that application. For doors thicker than about 22mm, a thick-door hinge is the correct selection.

Common Questions

A Consistent Close on Every Shared Partition

Specify this hinge when the job calls for half overlay doors that close on their own, sit square on a shared partition, and carry a nickel finish that matches the room's hardware palette.
