ONYX BLACK Soft-Close Hinge for Full Overlay Frameless and Face-Frame Cabinets

This Blum CLIP top BLUMOTION hinge brings a dark, furniture-grade finish to full overlay door installations on both frameless and face-frame cabinets, with INSERTA tool-free mounting and integrated soft-close built in.

Key Features

• ONYX BLACK finish coordinates with dark hardware and handle-less contemporary cabinetry.
• BLUMOTION soft-close cushions the door over the final closing arc so it settles without impact.
• Full overlay straight arm positions the door to cover nearly the entire cabinet side, leaving a narrow reveal.
• INSERTA tool-free plate mounting presses the base plate into 5mm pre-drilled system holes without screws.
• Clip-on arm engagement hangs and removes the door without tools.
• Three-way adjustment dials height, side, and depth independently after the door is hung.

Where This Hinge Earns Its Place

When a kitchen or bath design specifies dark hardware throughout, the hinge cannot be the one piece that breaks the palette. This hinge carries ONYX BLACK across the arm, cup, and visible surfaces, so the hardware stays consistent on open-shelf sections, glass-front cabinets, and anywhere the hinge catches the eye. It handles full overlay doors on both frameless box construction and traditional face-frame cabinets, so the same finish works across a mixed job. The 35mm cup bores into the back of the door, and the arm clips to a matching Blum base plate mounted on the cabinet, ordered separately. That plate is Blum-specific; plates from other brands will not connect to this arm.

Finish and Build That Hold Up

The hinge is steel with the ONYX BLACK finish applied to the exterior surfaces. BLUMOTION soft-close is integrated into the hinge body, so there is nothing to add on and no separate damper to lose track of. The clip-on arm releases with a lever, letting the door come off the cabinet for finishing or seasonal adjustment without touching a screwdriver. Three-way cam adjustment covers height, side, and depth, which is what keeps a run of doors even as a building settles or a client requests a tighter reveal. The ONYX BLACK finish is a designated Blum color and is not interchangeable with nickel-finish plates or accessories; pair it with matching ONYX BLACK plates and cover caps when the full system needs to stay dark.

The Right Fit for This Hinge

This hinge suits designers and cabinet shops where the finish specification is as deliberate as the performance specification, and where a standard nickel or chrome hinge would read as an oversight. It fits standard doors in the 16 to 22mm thickness range. INSERTA mounting requires pre-drilled 5mm system holes in the cabinet side, the standard in 32mm-system production cabinets. If those holes are not present, use the screw-on plate version of this hinge instead. For doors heavier or taller than the typical wall cabinet, check the Blum load table for hinge count; two is common for most cabinet heights, but the table governs the exact number.
