Blum CLIP Top Concealed Hinge in ONYX BLACK for Half Overlay Doors

This Blum CLIP top BLUMOTION hinge brings a sharp ONYX BLACK finish to half overlay doors on face-frame and frameless cabinets, with integrated soft-close and a 95 degree opening angle suited to narrow aluminum-frame fronts.

Key Features

• ONYX BLACK finish gives the hinge a clean, dark look that suits black hardware schemes and handle-less fronts.
• BLUMOTION soft-close damps the door over the final arc of closing so it settles without impact.
• Half overlay, half crank arm positions the door to cover part of the cabinet side, the geometry used when two doors share one partition.
• 95 degree opening angle controls swing on narrow aluminum-frame doors that need restricted clearance.
• Screw-on mounting fastens the hinge directly to the cabinet without a clip-on plate system.
• Three-way adjustment dials in height, side, and depth after the door is hung.

Where the 95 Degree Angle Earns Its Place

A 95 degree opening is not the widest swing in the catalog, and that is the point. Narrow aluminum-frame doors carry thin stiles with less material between the cup bore and the frame edge. The restricted angle is the engineering that keeps the door from overswinging and stressing the frame. It also works on standard wood doors in tight spaces where a 110 degree swing would put the door edge into an adjacent surface. The 35mm cup bores into the back of the door with a 45mm hole spacing, and the hinge arm attaches to a base plate mounted on the cabinet. That plate is a separate purchase, matched to your cabinet construction and chosen from Blum's own plate range.

ONYX BLACK Finish on a Steel Build

The hinge body is steel finished in Blum's ONYX BLACK. This is not a paraphrase for matte black or dark grey: ONYX BLACK is Blum's own finish name and the one that coordinates with other Blum ONYX BLACK accessories. If you are specifying pulls, knobs, or other hardware in black, confirm they match this finish before mixing. The BLUMOTION damper is integrated, so no separate add-on is needed and the mechanism stays concealed inside the hinge when the door is closed.

Who Reaches for This Hinge

Designers specifying dark-finish cabinetry with aluminum-frame fronts reach for this hinge when the finish has to disappear against black hardware. Cabinet shops building shared-partition layouts in face-frame or frameless boxes use the half crank geometry to keep two doors from colliding on the center stile. Contractors working on handle-less or minimal-hardware kitchens value the BLUMOTION close for the quiet it delivers in finished spaces. Screw-on mounting suits any situation where the cabinet does not have the pre-drilled 5mm system holes that INSERTA mounting requires. For doors thicker than 22mm, a thick-door hinge is the correct choice. For a 110 degree opening on the same half overlay geometry, other members of the CLIP top family cover that angle.
