Nickel Soft-Close Angled Hinge for Blind-Corner and Inward-Angle Cabinets

This Blum CLIP top angled hinge handles the cabinets where a standard hinge simply will not fit: boxes built at a negative 45-degree cabinet angle, including blind-corner configurations. BLUMOTION soft-close and INSERTA tool-free mounting are built in, and it works on both face-frame and frameless construction in a nickel finish.

Key Features

• Negative 45-degree cabinet angle geometry fits the hinge to inward-angle and blind-corner cabinets where standard hinges cannot be used.
• BLUMOTION soft-close damps the door over the final degrees of closing so it settles quietly without impact.
• INSERTA tool-free plate mounting presses the base plate into pre-drilled 5mm system holes without plate screws.
• Full overlay arm positions the door to cover nearly the entire cabinet side, leaving a narrow reveal.
• 110-degree opening angle delivers standard everyday swing on a specialty geometry door.
• Three-way adjustment at height, side, and depth brings doors to an even reveal after install.

Built for the Cabinet That Cuts Away from the Wall

A negative-angle cabinet turns inward at 45 degrees rather than sitting square. Blind-corner units use exactly this geometry: one door swings on the angled face while the adjacent cabinet occupies the corner. A standard straight-arm hinge cannot make this connection, because the arm geometry is wrong for the cabinet face angle. This hinge is engineered specifically for that condition. The 35mm cup bores into the door in the usual way, and the arm connects to a Blum base plate mounted to the angled cabinet face. The plate is a separate purchase and must be a Blum plate matched to this series. INSERTA mounting means the plate presses straight into the cabinet's pre-drilled 5mm system holes, so there are no plate screws to drive. For cabinets without those holes, use the screw-on plate version instead.

Nickel Finish on a Working Steel Hinge

The hinge body is steel with a nickel finish. On angled cabinets, the hinge is often visible from an oblique angle, especially on blind-corner doors that sit in open view when the adjacent door is ajar. The nickel finish keeps the hardware looking intentional rather than industrial in that exposure. BLUMOTION soft-close is integrated into the hinge itself, so no separate damper accessory is needed, and the three-way cam adjustment holds doors to a consistent reveal as the cabinet settles over time.

Who Reaches for This Hinge

Cabinet shops specifying blind-corner solutions on frameless runs will find the INSERTA mounting fits naturally into a 32mm-system workflow. Contractors working on face-frame kitchens with angled corner units get the same full overlay geometry and soft-close performance without a change in hinge family. Designers specifying nickel hardware across a kitchen can carry the finish through to the corner cabinet. This hinge is for standard door thickness in the 16 to 22mm range. For doors outside that window, a thick-door or thin-door angled hinge is the correct call instead.

Common Questions

The Corner Cabinet, Closed Quietly and Sitting Square

Specify this hinge when the project includes blind-corner or inward-angle cabinets and the install demands soft-close performance, tool-free plate mounting, and a nickel finish that carries through the run.
