Nickel Concealed Hinge for Full Overlay Doors That Need a Restricted Swing

This Blum CLIP top hinge brings BLUMOTION soft-close and a full overlay geometry to doors on frameless or face-frame cabinets where the swing must stay within 95 degrees, with a screw-on arm that fastens directly to the base plate.

Key Features

• 95 degree opening angle keeps the door from swinging into an adjacent wall, appliance, or cabinet run.
• BLUMOTION soft-close damps the door over the final closing arc so it settles quietly without slamming.
• Full overlay straight arm positions the door to cover nearly the entire cabinet side, leaving a narrow reveal.
• Screw-on mounting fastens the arm directly to the base plate with screws for a firm, locked connection.
• Three-way adjustment moves the door in height, side, and depth after installation to dial in an even reveal.
• Works on frameless and face-frame cabinets when paired with the appropriate Blum base plate, sold separately.

Where the 95 Degree Angle Earns Its Place

Most concealed hinges open to 110 degrees, which is right for freestanding cabinet runs with room to swing. The 95 degree opening is a deliberate engineering choice for situations where a full swing creates a problem: a door that would strike the side of a refrigerator panel, hit a wall at the end of a run, or collide with an adjacent tall cabinet. At 95 degrees the door clears the cabinet front and gives practical access without reaching the obstruction. This is the angle to specify when the layout demands it, not a compromise. The 35mm cup bores into the back of the door, and the hinge arm screws to a Blum base plate mounted to the cabinet, ordered separately.

Steel Build, Nickel Finish, BLUMOTION Damping

The hinge body is plated steel finished in nickel, which coordinates with brushed and satin hardware across a kitchen or bath run. The screw-on arm connection is the strongest mechanical link in the CLIP top line: where a clip-on arm snaps and releases, the screw-on version locks in place and stays there. BLUMOTION does what it does on every CLIP top hinge: it takes the last few degrees of closing and slows them, so the door settles rather than slaps. That damping is integrated into the hinge body, so there is no add-on component to install or replace.

Who Reaches for This Hinge

Cabinet installers working against tight walls or appliance panels keep this hinge on the truck for the cabinets at the ends of runs. Kitchen designers specifying a layout where a corner door would hit the return wall at 110 degrees call it out at the drawing stage. Cabinet shops building upper runs over refrigerators, or tall cabinets abutting a door casing, build this hinge into those positions from the start. It suits both frameless box construction and traditional face-frame cabinets. Standard door thickness of 16 to 22mm applies. For thicker doors, a thick-door hinge is the right tool.

Common Questions

The Right Hinge for the End of the Run

Specify this hinge where layout constraints limit the swing and quiet, damped closing is still the standard, so the install goes in clean and the door stays that way.
