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

This Blum CLIP top hinge brings full overlay self-close performance to both face-frame and frameless cabinets, with a screw-on arm that locks firmly to the plate without a clip mechanism, in a nickel finish that blends with chrome and brushed-metal hardware pulls.

Key Features

• Self-close spring pulls the door shut over the last few degrees of travel automatically.
• Full overlay straight arm positions the door to cover nearly the entire cabinet side, leaving only a narrow reveal.
• 110 degree opening angle delivers the standard everyday swing for kitchen, bath, and casework doors.
• Screw-on arm mounting fastens the arm directly to the plate for a fixed, non-clip connection.
• Three-way adjustment allows height, side, and depth correction after the door is hung.
• Works on face-frame and frameless cabinets when paired with the correct matching Blum plate, ordered separately.

Where This Hinge Earns Its Place

Full overlay is the dominant door configuration in modern cabinetry: one door covering the cabinet side, with just a narrow line of reveal showing between doors. This hinge is built for exactly that application. The 35mm cup bores into the back of the door, and the arm screws to a Blum base plate mounted on the cabinet. Because the arm screws on rather than clipping, the connection is mechanically fixed, a preference in some production and commercial environments where a positive-lock engagement is specified over a quick-release clip. The 45mm bore pattern aligns with the standard grid, so this hinge drops into new builds and fits the existing bore on a straightforward replacement job. The plate is a separate purchase matched to your cabinet construction, ordered from the Blum plate range for face-frame or frameless as the job requires.

Nickel Finish and Solid Steel Construction

The hinge is steel with a nickel plating. Nickel reads as a warm, slightly golden silver in most lighting, sitting between chrome and satin brass on the warm-to-cool scale. It is a natural pairing with brushed nickel pulls, bar knobs, and other mid-tone metal hardware. The self-close spring is integrated into the hinge body, so no separate closing mechanism needs to be sourced, and the three-way adjustment means the reveal can be dialed in after the cabinet is set without removing the door.

The Right Fit for Your Job

Reach for this hinge when the project calls for full overlay doors on standard 16 to 22mm stock and a screw-on arm is preferred over a clip. It suits cabinet shops, remodelers, and contractors who want Blum's fit and adjustment on face-frame work, frameless boxes, or a mix of both on the same run. For thicker doors, a thick-door hinge is the correct choice. For a cushioned, damped close rather than a spring pull, the CLIP top BLUMOTION version of this series provides soft-close. This hinge is self-close only: the spring draws the door shut, but does not slow or soften the contact.
