Nickel Finish and a Controlled Swing for Wall-Adjacent Full Overlay Doors

This Blum CLIP top hinge delivers BLUMOTION soft-close on full overlay doors with a 95 degree opening angle, installed through press-in dowels on frameless or face-frame cabinets. The nickel finish keeps the hardware consistent with other visible hardware in the run.

Key Features

• BLUMOTION soft-close damps the door over the final degrees of closing so it settles without slamming.
• 95 degree opening angle is the correct geometry for doors that need a controlled swing near a wall or adjacent cabinet.
• Full overlay straight arm positions the door to cover nearly the entire cabinet side, leaving a narrow reveal.
• Dowel mount presses the cup into pre-bored 8mm dowel holes in the door, no cup screws needed.
• Three-way adjustment dials height, side, and depth to bring doors to an even reveal after mounting.
• Nickel finish on steel coordinates with satin nickel pulls, knobs, and other hardware throughout the cabinet run.

Where the 95 Degree Angle Does Its Job

A 95 degree opening is not a reduced-swing compromise. It is the right angle for a door placed close to a wall, a tall appliance, or an adjacent cabinet where a standard 110 degree swing would put the door edge into an obstruction. The geometry limits travel just enough to clear the neighboring surface cleanly, while still giving full access to the cabinet interior. The 35mm cup bores into the back of the door at a 13mm depth, and the arm clips onto a separate Blum base plate mounted to the cabinet. That plate is ordered separately and matched to your cabinet construction.

Steel Build and a Finish That Holds Its Place

The hinge body is plated steel. The nickel finish is the practical reason to reach for this variant over black or Onyx when the project uses satin nickel or polished nickel hardware throughout. Finish consistency on visible hardware is a detail that shows in the final product, and BLUMOTION protects that investment by taking the impact out of daily closing. The three-way adjustment range holds the door in position as the cabinet settles over time, so the reveal stays even without re-hanging.

Who Specifies This Hinge

Cabinet shops and installers working on kitchens where wall-adjacent upper cabinets or tall pantry units sit tight to a wall, column, or refrigerator will find the 95 degree opening the spec that solves the clearance problem without adding a restriction clip to a standard hinge. It suits both frameless boxes and face-frame construction, so it carries across mixed projects. Designers specifying a satin nickel hardware package will find the nickel finish on this hinge keeps the concealed hardware consistent with the visible pulls and knobs on the same doors. The dowel mount fits CNC-bored cabinet doors already set up for press-in dowels, which keeps production lines moving without a change to the boring program.

Common Questions

The Right Finish, the Right Angle, Ready to Hang

Specify this hinge when the door sits close to a wall or adjacent surface, the project calls for nickel hardware throughout, and the boring program already runs dowels. The controlled 95 degree swing and BLUMOTION soft-close handle the rest.
