Nickel Soft-Close Hinge for Half Overlay Doors at a 95-Degree Swing

This Blum CLIP top BLUMOTION hinge is built for half overlay cabinet doors on face-frame or frameless cabinets, with a screw-on mount, integrated soft-close, and a 95-degree opening angle engineered for doors that share a partition or need a controlled swing clearance.

Key Features

• BLUMOTION soft-close damps the door over the final closing arc, so it settles quietly without impact.
• 95-degree opening angle suits shared-partition layouts and wall-adjacent positions where a wider swing would cause a collision.
• Half overlay, half crank arm positions the door to cover roughly half the cabinet side, the correct geometry for two doors meeting on one partition.
• Screw-on mount fastens directly to the cabinet side or face-frame stile with standard wood screws, no system holes required.
• Three-way adjustment provides height, side, and depth correction after the door is hung.
• Nickel finish on plated steel coordinates with brushed and satin hardware across the cabinet run.

Shared Partitions and Wall-Adjacent Doors

Half overlay is the geometry for two doors that share one center partition: each door overlaps the partition by about half, leaving a narrow reveal between them. The 95-degree opening angle is intentional here. When a door sits next to another door or close to a wall, 95 degrees keeps it from swinging into an obstruction. That controlled swing is the reason this angle exists in the product line, not a compromise on access. The 35mm cup bores into the back of the door, and the arm clips to a base plate on the cabinet, which is ordered separately. Use a matching Blum plate sized to your cabinet construction.

Finish and Construction

The hinge is plated steel in a Nickel finish. Nickel reads as a warm neutral that pairs easily with satin, brushed, and polished hardware families without competing for attention. BLUMOTION soft-close is built into the hinge body, so there is nothing to add later. The three-way adjustment built into the arm gives plus or minus 2mm of height and side correction and plus 3mm to minus 2mm of depth travel, which is what keeps a shared-partition door pair sitting at an even reveal after the cabinets have settled into place.

Where This Hinge Belongs

This hinge fits cabinet shops and contractors working on face-frame or frameless boxes where the layout calls for half overlay doors, especially on double-door runs over a shared partition. It also suits wall cabinets installed close to a wall or appliance where a door that opens past 95 degrees would strike something. The screw-on mount is a straightforward choice for any cabinet that does not carry pre-drilled 5mm system holes. For doors in the standard 16 to 22mm thickness range, this hinge seats cleanly. Doors thicker than 22mm call for a thick-door hinge instead.

Common Questions

A Quiet Close Where Clearance Counts

When the layout puts two doors on a shared partition or a door next to a wall, this Nickel BLUMOTION hinge keeps the swing controlled and the close quiet, on either a face-frame or frameless box.
