Nickel Finish and Extra Swing for Demanding Layouts

This Blum CLIP top concealed hinge opens to 120 degrees on full overlay doors, mounts with EXPANDO expanding dowels, and finishes in nickel, on both face-frame and frameless cabinets.

Key Features

• 120 degree opening angle swings the door wider than the standard 110 degrees, giving better access to cabinet interiors.
• 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.
• EXPANDO expanding dowel mounting anchors the base plate with mechanical dowels for a firm, screw-free plate-to-cabinet connection.
• Three-way adjustment moves the door height, side, and depth after installation to dial in a consistent reveal.
• Nickel finish on plated steel coordinates with pulls, knobs, and other visible hardware in a nickel palette.

Where the 120 Degree Opening Earns Its Place

Ten degrees beyond the standard swing matters most where cabinet interiors need clear, unobstructed access: appliance garages with tight reach, pantry runs where the door swings back toward an adjacent wall, or any layout where a 110 degree stop leaves the opening feeling tight. This hinge covers both face-frame and frameless boxes, so one SKU works across different cabinet constructions on the same job. The 35mm cup bores into the back of the door in the standard pattern, and the arm connects to a Blum base plate on the cabinet, ordered separately.

Steel Build, Nickel Finish, EXPANDO Anchor

The hinge body is plated steel, and the nickel finish reads clean and consistent alongside nickel pulls and bar handles, which makes it a natural fit for kitchens and baths where all the visible hardware shares a finish family. The EXPANDO plate-to-cabinet connection is the distinguishing structural detail: expanding dowels press into the cabinet's pre-drilled system holes and lock mechanically, providing a firmer anchor than a screw-on plate alone. That connection is at the plate level, separate from the clip-on arm engagement that lets the door detach from the plate without tools.

Right for Wide-Opening Doors on Mixed Builds

Cabinet shops running frameless and face-frame work on the same project, remodelers updating kitchens where access matters as much as aesthetics, and designers specifying nickel hardware throughout will all find this hinge covers the job. It suits standard doors in the 16 to 22mm thickness range. For doors over 22mm, a thick-door hinge is the right call. This is a self-close hinge, meaning the spring pulls the door shut; for a cushioned, quiet close, the BLUMOTION soft-close version is the alternative to specify.

Common Questions

Wider Access, Consistent Finish, Solid Anchor

Specify this hinge when the door needs to open past the standard stop, the finish has to match a nickel hardware package, and the plate connection needs the grip of a mechanical dowel anchor.
