Nickel Concealed Hinge Built for Flush Inset Doors

This Blum CLIP top hinge is engineered specifically for inset doors that sit flush inside the cabinet opening, with BLUMOTION soft-close integrated into the arm and a screw-on mount that works on both frameless and face-frame cabinets.

Key Features

• BLUMOTION soft-close damps the door through the final degrees of travel so it settles quietly against the cabinet.
• Inset geometry, full crank arm positions the door to sit flush inside the opening with an even reveal on all sides.
• 110 degree opening angle provides full everyday access from a flush-fitted inset door.
• Screw-on mount fastens directly to the cabinet side or face-frame stile with standard wood screws, no system holes required.
• Three-way adjustment of plus or minus 2mm in height and side, plus 3mm and minus 2mm in depth, keeps the reveal even after the cabinet settles.
• Nickel finish on plated steel coordinates with pulls, knobs, and other visible hardware in a satin metal palette.

Holding the Flush Look an Inset Door Demands

An inset door lives or dies on the reveal. The door sits inside the opening rather than over it, so the gap around all four edges has to be tight and consistent. This hinge carries the inset geometry that sets the door correctly in that plane, and the BLUMOTION damper earns its place here specifically because an inset door that slams is an inset door that drifts out of tolerance. The damper slows the door through the closing arc so contact is quiet and controlled, protecting the fit day after day.

The 35mm cup bores into the back of the door at a 45mm bore pattern. The hinge arm then connects to a base plate on the cabinet, ordered separately. Match the plate to your cabinet construction and the overlay position this hinge sets.

Steel, Nickel, and a Mount That Does Not Need Pre-Drilled Holes

The hinge body is plated steel in a nickel finish. Nickel sits naturally alongside satin nickel pulls and bar knobs when the visible hardware needs to read as one finish family. The screw-on mount is a practical advantage on site-built casework and furniture where 5mm system holes are not in the cabinet side. Wood screws go straight into the cabinet panel or face-frame stile, so the install is not tied to a specific boring pattern in the box.

Where This Hinge Belongs

This is the right hinge for furniture makers, custom cabinet shops, and finish carpenters working inset doors on either frameless boxes or face-frame cabinets and wanting a quiet, controlled close with no add-on damper to source separately. It is sized for standard doors in the 16 to 22mm thickness range. For doors thicker than 22mm, a thick-door hinge with a deeper cup is the correct path. For a project on a 32mm system cabinet with pre-drilled 5mm holes, the INSERTA plate version of this series keeps the install faster. This screw-on version fits anywhere the cabinet takes a wood screw.

Common Questions

A Quiet, Even Close on Every Inset Door

When the design calls for a flush inset look and a nickel finish that holds the hardware palette together, this hinge delivers the geometry, the damping, and the screw-on simplicity to keep the install straightforward and the result precise.
