ONYX BLACK Finish With Half Overlay Fit

This Blum CLIP top hinge brings ONYX BLACK finish to half overlay doors on face-frame and frameless cabinets, with BLUMOTION soft-close and INSERTA tool-free mounting built in.

Key Features

• ONYX BLACK finish coordinates with black pulls, knobs, and other dark hardware across the cabinet run.
• BLUMOTION soft-close damps the door through the final degrees of closing so it settles without impact.
• Half overlay half crank arm positions the door at a partial overlay, the geometry used where two doors share one center partition.
• INSERTA tool-free plate mounting presses the base plate into pre-drilled 5mm system holes with no plate screws.
• Three-way adjustment moves the door up, down, side to side, and in and out after install to dial in an even reveal.
• 110 degree opening provides the standard everyday swing for cabinet access.

Where This Hinge Fits

Half overlay is the configuration where a door covers only part of the cabinet side, most often because two doors meet on a single center partition and each one shares that wall. The half crank arm sets this geometry precisely. On a full run of base or upper cabinets with paired doors throughout, every shared partition calls for this hinge on both doors flanking it.

The 35mm cup bores into the back of the door, and the arm clips to a Blum base plate mounted to the cabinet side or frame. That plate is a separate purchase, matched to your cabinet construction and the position you need. INSERTA mounting presses it straight into the cabinet's 5mm pre-drilled system holes, so there are no plate screws to drive. For a cabinet without those pre-drilled holes, use the screw-on plate version instead.

ONYX BLACK on Steel

The hinge body is steel finished in ONYX BLACK, Blum's name for this finish. It reads as a deep, consistent black across the cup and arm, pairing with matte black pulls, bin pulls, and other black hardware without a tone mismatch. For projects where the hardware finish is part of the design program, matching the hinge finish to the visible hardware unifies the look even on doors where the hinge itself stays hidden when closed.

BLUMOTION soft-close is integrated, not added on. The damper slows the door over the last few degrees of travel, which keeps the door from slamming into the frame repeatedly and protects both the finish and the door over daily use.

Who Reaches for This Hinge

Cabinet shops specifying dark-finish hardware throughout a kitchen will need this hinge wherever half overlay doors meet on a shared partition. Designers working on a matte black hardware program can close out the hardware schedule knowing the hinge finish holds to the same color family. Contractors installing face-frame or frameless boxes get the same INSERTA speed on either cabinet type, and the three-way adjustment means doors land square even if the cabinet is not perfectly plumb.

This hinge is sized for standard doors in the 16 to 22mm thickness range. Doors thicker than 22mm need a thick-door hinge. For a door that covers the full cabinet side rather than sharing a partition, a full overlay version of this hinge is the right pick.
