Nickel Angled Cabinet Hinge for +45 Degree Face-Frame and Frameless Cabinets

This Blum CLIP top angled hinge is built for cabinet doors set on a +45 degree cabinet angle, with full overlay geometry, self-close spring, and INSERTA tool-free mounting. It fits both face-frame and frameless construction.

Key Features

• +45 degree cabinet angle positions the hinge correctly on outward bay and angled cabinet configurations.
• Full overlay straight arm lets the door cover the cabinet side with a narrow reveal.
• Self-close spring draws the door shut over the last few degrees of travel.
• INSERTA tool-free plate mounting presses the base plate into pre-drilled 5mm system holes without screws.
• Clip-on arm engagement attaches and releases the door without tools for fast installs and door swaps.
• Three-way adjustment dials in height, side, and depth after the door is hung.

The Right Hinge for an Outward Angled Cabinet

A +45 degree angled hinge is not a workaround — it is the correct part for a cabinet box set at an outward angle, such as a diagonal corner base, a bay-style upper, or an angled end panel. A standard hinge arm cannot swing the door clear of the cabinet body on an angled box; the geometry of this hinge is what makes the door open and close properly. The 95 degree opening angle is the engineered result of that angled geometry, letting the door clear the cabinet front without collision. The 35mm cup bores into the back of the door, and the arm clips to a base plate mounted to the cabinet, ordered separately as a Blum plate matched to your cabinet construction.

Nickel Finish on a Steel Frame

The hinge is steel with a nickel finish, a neutral tone that coordinates with stainless appliances, chrome fixtures, and satin hardware without drawing attention to the hinge itself. Because this is a concealed hinge, the finish is visible only during installation and adjustment — but it holds up in both frameless production environments and face-frame shops where hinges are handled repeatedly. The INSERTA base plate presses into 5mm system holes in the cabinet side for the fastest frameless install, while the screw-on alternative covers boxes without pre-drilled holes. The arm clips to the plate once the plate is set, and the three-way adjustment trims any remaining gap or reveal with a cam screw.

Where This Hinge Belongs

Specify this hinge on angled cabinet designs where the box itself is rotated outward at 45 degrees — diagonal corner cabinets, angled kitchen islands, and bay-style casework. It suits cabinet shops building specialty configurations, designers specifying corner solutions, and contractors setting pre-built angled boxes on-site. It works on both frameless and face-frame construction. For a cabinet box that sits square, this is not the hinge to use; a standard full-overlay CLIP top covers that application. If a project also requires soft-close damping rather than a spring pull, the BLUMOTION version of this angled hinge is the appropriate upgrade.
