ONYX BLACK Finish and 95-Degree Geometry for Narrow Aluminum Doors

This Blum CLIP top BLUMOTION hinge delivers full overlay soft-close performance on narrow aluminum-framed doors, finished in ONYX BLACK for cabinets where dark hardware is the deliberate design choice.

Key Features

• ONYX BLACK finish coordinates with dark cabinet hardware and handle-less aluminum-framed fronts.
• BLUMOTION soft-close damps the door over the final closing arc so it settles quietly without slamming.
• 95-degree opening angle is sized for narrow aluminum door frames, where a wider swing would stress the frame or the hinge seat.
• Full overlay straight arm covers nearly the entire cabinet side, leaving a narrow reveal between doors.
• Screw-on mounting fastens directly to the cabinet with wood screws, no pre-drilled system holes required.
• Three-way adjustment dials height, side, and depth independently so doors sit square after installation.

Where the 95-Degree Angle Earns Its Place

The 95-degree opening is a design-matched spec for narrow aluminum door profiles. Aluminum frames have thinner walls and narrower stile sections than standard wood doors, and the geometry of a wider-angle hinge can place stress on the thin aluminum at the cup seat. The 95-degree opening angle distributes that load correctly for the frame type, so the hinge and the door work together rather than against each other. The 35mm cup bores into the door at a 13mm depth, and the arm mounts to a separate Blum base plate on the cabinet, ordered separately to match your cabinet construction and overlay requirement.

ONYX BLACK on a Steel Frame

The hinge body is steel finished in Blum's ONYX BLACK. That finish is a named color in the Blum line, not a generic matte or near-black, and it is matched across Blum's ONYX BLACK accessory and plate range. On dark-fronted or aluminum-clad cabinetry the concealed hinge stays hidden when the door is closed, but ONYX BLACK matters at the cup and arm when the door swings open. BLUMOTION soft-close is integrated into the arm, so no separate damper is needed and the cushioned close is consistent across the full run of doors.

Right for Dark-Hardware Builds on Either Cabinet Type

This hinge fits both frameless and face-frame cabinets, which makes it a workable specification for mixed jobs or shops that run both construction types. Screw-on mounting goes directly into wood screws without depending on pre-drilled 5mm system holes, so it is a clean fit for custom or site-built boxes that are not built on the 32mm production grid. It is a natural pick for modern kitchens specifying dark hardware throughout, for aluminum-front appliance garages, and for any project where the design calls for a consistent ONYX BLACK finish from pulls to hinges. For doors thicker than about 22mm, move to a thick-door hinge. For wider opening where the door profile and frame allow it, the 110-degree version of this series is the alternative.
