Nickel Concealed Hinge for Half Overlay Doors in Production Builds

This Blum CLIP top hinge brings BLUMOTION soft-close and dowel mounting to half overlay doors on both face-frame and frameless cabinets, finished in nickel for a clean, consistent look across a full run.

Key Features

• BLUMOTION soft-close damps the door over the last few degrees of travel so it settles quietly without slamming.
• Half overlay, half-crank arm positions two doors to share a center partition without the arms colliding.
• 95 degree opening angle gives the correct swing clearance for this overlay and partition geometry.
• Dowel mounting presses pre-mounted dowels into the door's bored holes, no cup screws required, built for CNC and production workflows.
• Three-way adjustment dials height, side, and depth after the doors are hung.
• Nickel finish on steel delivers a consistent surface tone that coordinates with other visible hardware on the job.

Where the Half-Crank Geometry Does Its Work

Half overlay is the setup for double-door cabinets where two doors meet on a shared center partition, each covering roughly half of it. The half-crank arm geometry positions each door so both close without the hinge arms running into each other. This hinge handles that scenario on frameless box construction and on face-frame cabinets alike, so it holds its place whether a shop is running frameless European-style cases or traditional framed boxes. The 35mm cup bores into the back of the door at the standard 45mm bore pattern, and the hinge clips to a Blum base plate on the cabinet, ordered separately as a brand-matched part.

Steel, Nickel Finish, and a Damped Close

The hinge body is steel with a nickel finish. In a run of cabinets where other hardware is also nickel, keeping the hinge finish consistent prevents the mismatched tone that stands out in showroom or high-finish residential work. The BLUMOTION damper is integrated into the hinge, so there is no add-on damper to fit or forget. The three-way adjustment range handles the small door shifts that happen as a cabinet settles into a wall, keeping the reveal even without taking the door off.

Built for Shops Running Volume

Dowel mounting is the production choice. The cup presses onto pre-mounted dowels in the door's bored holes rather than driving cup screws, which removes a step on the line. For CNC shops that bore doors in batches before assembly, the dowel pattern fits the workflow without an extra fastening operation. This hinge suits cabinet shops, millwork operations, and contractors who are hanging double-door face-frame or frameless cabinets and want a CLIP top hinge that matches a nickel finish spec throughout the job. For doors outside the standard 16 to 22mm thickness range, check that the hinge fits the door before ordering.

Common Questions

Consistent Finish, Quiet Close, Production-Ready Mount

When the spec calls for half overlay doors with BLUMOTION soft-close, a nickel finish that holds across the hardware package, and dowel mounting that keeps production moving, this hinge covers all three.
