Nickel Concealed Hinge for Full Overlay Doors on Frameless and Face-Frame Cabinets

This Blum CLIP top hinge brings BLUMOTION soft-close and INSERTA tool-free mounting to full overlay doors on both frameless and face-frame cabinets, finished in nickel for a clean, hardware-forward look.

Key Features

• BLUMOTION soft-close damps the door through its final degrees so it settles quietly without slamming.
• Full overlay straight arm positions the door so it covers nearly the entire cabinet side, leaving only a narrow reveal.
• INSERTA tool-free plate mounting presses the base plate into pre-drilled 5mm system holes with no screws needed at the plate.
• Clip-on arm engagement lets the door hang and release without tools, speeding up install and adjustment cycles.
• Three-way adjustment provides height, side, and depth movement after the door is hung, so every reveal lines up.
• Nickel finish on steel coordinates with satin and brushed metal hardware across the cabinet run.

Where This Hinge Earns Its Place

Full overlay is the dominant configuration in modern kitchen and bath cabinetry: one door, one cabinet side, covered to a narrow reveal. This hinge handles that geometry on either cabinet type. On a frameless box, the base plate mounts directly to the side panel; on a face-frame cabinet, it goes to the stile. Either way, the 35mm cup bores into the back of the door, the arm clips onto the plate, and INSERTA gets the plate seated in seconds by pressing it into the cabinet's pre-drilled 5mm system holes.

The base plate is a separate purchase. Match a Blum plate to your cabinet construction and the overlay position you need. Plates are Blum-specific, so use the matching Blum base plate range rather than a plate from another brand.

Steel Construction with a Finish Worth Showing

The hinge body is steel with a nickel finish. In a kitchen or bath where pulls, knobs, and other visible hardware are already in nickel or a coordinating satin metal, this hinge carries that finish into the concealed hardware layer. The practical side of the finish is durability: the plated steel resists the humidity and cleaning cycles a kitchen accumulates, and the BLUMOTION damper protects door faces and joints from the cumulative stress of daily slamming over years of use.

The Right Fit for This Hinge

This hinge is sized for standard doors in the 16 to 22mm thickness range. It suits cabinet shops running consistent frameless or face-frame production, contractors specifying hardware across a multi-cabinet install, and designers who want soft-close performance with a finish that coordinates across the visible hardware package. INSERTA requires the cabinet to have pre-drilled 5mm system holes at the plate mounting location. For cabinets without those holes, the screw-on plate version of this hinge is the better call. For doors heavier or thicker than the standard range, move to a Blum thick-door hinge rather than pushing this one outside its window.

Common Questions

Quiet Doors, Clean Finish, Fast Install

When the job calls for full overlay doors that close without a sound and hardware that coordinates with a nickel or satin metal scheme, this hinge covers all three requirements in one part.
