Blum CLIP Top Concealed Hinge in Nickel for Full Overlay Doors

This Blum CLIP top hinge brings BLUMOTION soft-close to full overlay doors on both face-frame and frameless cabinets, mounting to the base plate with a standard screw-on connection.

Key Features

• BLUMOTION soft-close damps the door through the final degrees of closing so it settles quietly without impact.
• Full overlay straight arm positions the door to cover nearly the entire cabinet side, leaving a narrow reveal.
• 110 degree opening angle delivers the standard everyday swing for unobstructed cabinet access.
• Screw-on arm-to-plate connection fastens securely to the base plate with screws for a fixed, stable mount.
• Three-way adjustment moves the door in height, side, and depth after installation to dial in an even reveal.
• Nickel finish on plated steel coordinates with the full range of brushed and satin metal hardware.

Where This Hinge Does Its Work

Full overlay doors are the standard in modern frameless kitchens and in face-frame cabinets where a clean, covered look is the goal. Each door covers nearly the full cabinet side, and the gap between adjacent doors is the only reveal visible from the front. This hinge supplies the geometry that makes that layout work, with BLUMOTION damping built into the arm so every close is quiet regardless of how hard the door is pushed.

The 35mm cup bores into the back of the door at the standard depth. The arm then connects to a Blum base plate mounted to the cabinet, which is sold separately. Match the plate to your cabinet construction and the position the door needs to sit. Because this is a screw-on connection rather than a tool-free clip, the arm fastens to the plate with screws, making it a solid choice where a fixed, permanent connection is preferred over quick-release.

Nickel Finish and Steel Construction

The nickel finish sits in the range that reads as warm silver, pairing naturally with satin nickel pulls, brushed steel slides, and similar hardware families. It is a practical choice for anyone specifying a consistent metal tone across a kitchen or bath without committing to a darker or more contrasted finish. The hinge body is plated steel, built for the wear of daily use. Three-way adjustment holds the cabinet looking right over time: height, side, and depth can each be dialed from the cam screws after the door is hung, so minor settling or racking does not mean rehinging the door.

The Right Fit for This Hinge

This hinge suits standard doors in the 16 to 22mm thickness range on frameless or face-frame cabinets. It is a natural specification for designers coordinating hardware finishes across a project, for cabinet shops that prefer a screw-on arm connection, and for remodelers replacing hinges on an existing Blum layout. Because the Blum CLIP top plate system is brand-specific, pair this hinge with a Blum plate: a plate from another brand will not accept the arm. For a cabinet without pre-drilled 5mm system holes, the screw-on plate version of the Blum line is the practical path. Doors thicker than 22mm need a thick-door hinge rather than this standard-arm configuration.
