Blum CLIP Top Angled Hinge for Bay and Corner Cabinets in ONYX BLACK

This Blum CLIP top BLUMOTION hinge is built for cabinet doors on angled casework, specifically cabinets set at a positive 45-degree cabinet angle, such as diagonal corner and bay-front boxes. It handles half overlay doors on both frameless and face-frame cabinets, and its ONYX BLACK finish integrates with dark hardware schemes where a nickel hinge would read as a mismatch.

Key Features

• ONYX BLACK finish coordinates with black pulls, slides, and hardware across the cabinet interior.
• +45 degree cabinet angle geometry fits the hinge to angled bay and diagonal corner cabinet openings.
• 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 a partial overlay on the cabinet side or frame stile.
• INSERTA toolless mounting presses the base plate into pre-drilled 5mm system holes with no plate screws.
• Three-way adjustment dials height, side, and depth after the door is hung.

The Right Hinge for a +45 Degree Cabinet Opening

A standard concealed hinge is built for a 90-degree cabinet opening. When the box is set at an outward angle, as diagonal corner cabinets and bay-front designs are, the door geometry changes and the hinge arm must account for it. The +45 degree cabinet angle on this hinge is the built-in correction that lets the door swing freely and close square on a cabinet face that is not perpendicular to the wall. That is the geometry driving the spec, and it is what makes this hinge specific to angled work rather than interchangeable with a standard arm.

The 35mm cup bores into the back of the door at the standard depth. The arm then clips to a Blum base plate mounted on the cabinet, sold separately. For frameless boxes with pre-drilled 5mm system holes, INSERTA makes that plate install tool-free. On face-frame cabinets, the plate mounts to the stile in the same motion.

ONYX BLACK on Steel Built for Daily Use

The hinge body is steel with a Blum ONYX BLACK finish. In dark-hardware kitchens and closets, the finish matters inside the cabinet as much as outside: a nickel hinge visible through an open door reads as a contrast detail, not a design choice. ONYX BLACK sits quietly in the background. Note that Blum ONYX BLACK accessories are specific to the black finish line and are not interchangeable with nickel versions. BLUMOTION soft-close is integrated into the hinge, so the door settles without a slam through everyday use without an add-on damper.

Who Reaches for This Hinge

This hinge is the right call for kitchen designers and cabinet shops working on diagonal corner or angled bay configurations where the hardware spec needs to match a dark finish palette. It suits both frameless production shops using the 32mm system and face-frame builders on custom work. Because the cabinet angle is fixed at +45 degrees, it is not a substitute for a standard hinge on a square opening, and it will not serve a negative-angle blind-corner application. For doors in the standard 16 to 22mm thickness range, this hinge is sized correctly. Doors beyond 22mm need a thick-door hinge instead.
