Blum CLIP Top Concealed Hinge in Nickel for Full Overlay Doors

This Blum CLIP top self-close hinge delivers full overlay geometry on frameless and face-frame cabinets, with dowel-mount attachment at the door cup and a spring self-close built in.

Key Features

• Self-close spring pulls the door shut over the last few degrees of travel.
• Full overlay straight arm positions the door to cover nearly the entire cabinet side, leaving a narrow reveal.
• 110 degree opening angle delivers standard everyday access to the cabinet interior.
• Dowel-mount cup presses pre-attached dowels into bored holes in the door for a screwless, CNC-ready attachment.
• Three-way adjustment dials in height, side, and depth after the door is hung.
• Nickel finish on plated steel blends with polished and brushed hardware across the cabinet run.

A Full Overlay Door, Hung Fast in a CNC Environment

The dowel-mount design is built for production cabinet shops where doors are bored on a CNC rather than fastened with cup screws on the bench. The cup's pre-attached dowels press directly into the bored dowel holes in the door, locking the hinge in position without a screwdriver at the door side. From there the arm clips to a Blum base plate on the cabinet, also ordered separately. The result is a quick, consistent installation rhythm on a full overlay door, where the door face covers the cabinet side with only a narrow line of reveal visible at each edge.

Steel Build with a Nickel Finish

The hinge body is plated steel. The nickel finish sits in a neutral, light-reflective range that coordinates with brushed nickel pulls, knobs, and other visible hardware without requiring an exact match. Because this is a concealed hinge, the finish is most relevant at the cup rim, which shows briefly when the door swings open. It also matters when specifying consistency across a kitchen or bath where hinge hardware is visible at wide-open doors. Nickel is available across the CLIP top range, so cover caps and other accessories can be matched to the same finish family.

Where This Hinge Fits the Job

This is the right pick for cabinet shops running a CNC line where dowel boring is the standard door prep. It suits frameless Euro boxes and face-frame cabinets equally, so it works across a mixed job that includes both construction types. For residential and light-commercial kitchens, baths, closets, and casework, the 110 degree opening handles standard everyday use. If the project calls for a cushioned, damped close instead of a spring pull, the BLUMOTION soft-close version of this hinge is the corresponding choice in the same series. For doors thicker than 22mm, a thick-door hinge is the right substitution.
