Nickel Screw-On Hinge Built for Flush Inset Doors

The Blum CLIP top 71T3750 is a self-close concealed hinge sized for inset doors on face-frame and frameless cabinets, finished in nickel and fastened directly to the cabinet with screws.

Key Features

• Inset overlay geometry positions the door flush inside the cabinet opening with an even reveal on all sides.
• Self-close spring draws the door shut automatically over the final degrees of travel.
• 110 degree opening delivers standard everyday access from a flush-fitted inset door.
• Screw-on mounting fastens the arm directly to the base plate for a firm, fixed connection.
• Three-way adjustment moves the door up to 2mm in height, 2mm side-to-side, and 3mm forward or 2mm back after mounting.
• Full crank arm and 35mm cup seat in a standard bored door and carry the inset door position.

Hanging a Door That Sits Inside the Opening

An inset door lives inside the cabinet box rather than over it, framed by a small even gap all the way around. Getting that gap right demands a hinge built for the geometry, and the full crank arm here sets the door precisely at the inset position. The 35mm cup bores into the back of the door at a 45mm bore pattern, and the arm connects to a base plate mounted on the cabinet, sold separately. With the door hung, the three-way adjustment lets you dial in an even reveal without pulling the door off its hinges. The screw-on connection means the hinge stays put once it is set, which matters on a closely fitted inset door where any movement in the hardware reads directly as a gap change.

Steel Build in a Nickel Finish

The hinge body is steel plated in a nickel finish. Nickel reads as a warm, slightly muted tone that works naturally alongside satin nickel pulls, bin knobs, and other hardware on traditional and transitional cabinetry. Because the hinge is concealed, the finish is only visible when the door is open, but it keeps the hardware looking intentional in open-frame furniture and glass-adjacent installs where the interior of the cabinet is part of the aesthetic. The self-close spring is integrated, so there is nothing extra to add for the door to close on its own.

Where This Hinge Fits Best

This hinge suits cabinet shops, furniture makers, and finish carpenters working on projects where the design calls for a flush, frame-and-panel look. It runs on both frameless boxes and face-frame cabinets, so it is a single stocking choice across mixed-construction work. Inset fitting takes tighter tolerances than overlay, and screw-on mounting is the practical choice when you want the connection locked down rather than relying on a clip mechanism in a closely fitted application. For doors in the standard 16 to 22mm thickness range, this hinge seats correctly. Doors thicker than 22mm need a thick-door hinge instead. The base plate is a separate, Blum-specific purchase matched to your cabinet construction and desired reveal.

Common Questions

Flush Doors That Close on Their Own and Stay Square

Specify this hinge when the job calls for inset doors with a clean reveal, a self-closing action, and a nickel finish that coordinates with the rest of the hardware.
