Nickel BLUMOTION Hinge for Full Overlay Doors on Face-Frame and Frameless Cabinets

This Blum CLIP top hinge brings BLUMOTION soft-close to full overlay doors on both face-frame and frameless cabinets, with a screw-on mount and a nickel finish that coordinates with brushed metal hardware across the project.

Key Features

• BLUMOTION soft-close damps the door through the final closing arc so it settles quietly without impact.
• Full overlay straight arm positions the door to cover nearly the entire cabinet side, leaving a narrow, consistent reveal.
• 110 degree opening angle delivers the standard everyday swing for unobstructed cabinet access.
• Screw-on mounting fastens the hinge arm directly to the base plate with screws for a secure, permanent connection on any cabinet.
• Three-way adjustment lets height, side, and depth be dialed in after hanging, so doors line up evenly across a run.
• Nickel finish on steel gives a clean, neutral tone that holds up through daily use.

Where Screw-On Mounting Earns Its Place

The screw-on connection between the hinge arm and the base plate is a deliberate choice in certain conditions. On face-frame cabinets where the frame geometry limits clip clearance, or on any install where a permanent, locked-down connection is the goal, the screw-on mount gives a firm result without relying on a clip mechanism. The 35mm cup bores into the back of the door in the standard position, and the arm screws to a Blum base plate on the cabinet. That plate is sold separately and should be matched to your cabinet construction. Plates are Blum-specific; a plate from another brand will not connect to this hinge.

Finish Built for Visible Coordination

The nickel finish on this hinge is the reason to specify it when the rest of the hardware on the job runs in brushed metal tones. Because concealed hinges are hidden when doors are closed, finish only becomes visible when a door is open, but on face-frame cabinets and open shelving runs that door is open often. A nickel hinge blends into a brushed nickel pull, bin pull, or knob family rather than standing out against it. The steel body is durable enough for residential daily use, and the BLUMOTION damper protects both the door finish and the cabinet face from repeated impact over the life of the installation.

Suited to Face-Frame Shops and Residential Remodels

This hinge fits cabinet shops that build face-frame boxes and want a soft-close concealed hinge with a finish the customer can specify by name. It works equally well on frameless cabinets where a screw-on connection is preferred over clip engagement. For a homeowner replacing worn or noisy hinges on face-frame kitchen cabinets, the screw-on mount installs without a clip tool and the BLUMOTION damper is what turns a slamming door into a quiet one. Standard doors in the 16 to 22mm thickness range are the target; for doors over 22mm, a thick-door hinge is the right selection instead.
