Nickel Finish and Reliable Self-Close for Full Overlay Doors

This Blum CLIP top hinge brings a clean nickel finish and a dependable self-closing spring to full overlay doors on both frameless and face-frame cabinets, with dowel mounting that anchors firmly into the door.

Key Features

• Self-close spring draws the door shut automatically 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.
• Dowel mount cup presses into pre-bored dowel holes in the door for a screw-free, production-ready attachment.
• 110 degree opening provides standard everyday swing for accessible cabinet interiors.
• Three-way cam adjustment dials in height, side, and depth after the door is hung.
• Nickel finish on steel coordinates with brushed and satin hardware across the cabinet run.

Where the Dowel Mount Earns Its Place

The dowel cup presses into pre-bored 8mm dowel holes in the door rather than relying on cup screws, which makes it the preferred choice in CNC-routed production environments where every door arrives at the bench already bored and ready. The 35mm cup seats in the door, and the arm clips to a Blum base plate mounted on the cabinet, ordered separately. For the plate-to-cabinet side, this hinge pairs with any matching Blum CLIP top plate, whether screw-on, INSERTA into 5mm system holes, or EXPANDO dowel anchors, depending on how the cabinet box is built. Frameless and face-frame boxes both work.

Nickel That Fits the Finish Run

The nickel finish suits the broad middle of hardware palettes, sitting comfortably beside satin nickel pulls, brushed chrome slides, and stainless-tone fasteners without introducing a contrast. The steel body carries the clip-on arm engagement and three-way adjustment that are standard across the Blum CLIP top platform, so the door can be walked back to a square reveal and consistent gap as the cabinet settles in. The self-close spring handles daily use: once the door swings within range, it pulls shut on its own.

The Right Fit for Production and Renovation Work

Cabinet shops running CNC production lines will find the dowel cup straightforward, since it drops straight into the bored hole with no additional fastening on the door side. Remodelers replacing hinges in an existing installation can use this hinge wherever the door already carries the correct dowel bore pattern. This is a self-close hinge, not a soft-close hinge: the spring closes the door firmly. For a cushioned, damped close, the BLUMOTION version of this series is the alternative. This hinge fits standard doors in the 16 to 22mm thickness range; for doors over 22mm, a thick-door hinge is the correct choice.
