Blum CLIP Top Blind Corner Hinge in ONYX BLACK for Inset Doors

This Blum CLIP top hinge is built for inset doors on blind corner cabinets, combining BLUMOTION soft-close with a 95 degree restricted swing in a dark ONYX BLACK finish that coordinates with black hardware throughout the space.

Key Features

• ONYX BLACK finish matches dark cabinet hardware for a unified, intentional look on visible cabinetry.
• BLUMOTION soft-close damps the door over the final degrees of travel so it settles quietly instead of slamming.
• 95 degree opening angle keeps the inset door from swinging into the adjacent cabinet on a blind corner.
• Inset geometry positions the door flush inside the cabinet opening with a consistent reveal on all sides.
• Screw-on mounting fastens directly to the cabinet side or face-frame stile for a solid, secure connection.
• Three-way adjustment dials in height, side, and depth after the door is hung.

Built for the Blind Corner Challenge

A blind corner cabinet sits where two cabinet runs meet at a right angle, and the adjacent cabinet blocks the door from swinging freely. The 95 degree opening on this hinge is the geometry that solves that problem: it keeps the door clear of the neighboring cabinet without requiring any workaround. That restricted swing is a design fit, not a shortcoming. Pair it with the inset arm geometry and the door sits flush inside the opening, framed by an even reveal, which is exactly what the blind corner condition demands at the intersection of two runs.

The 35mm cup bores into the back of the door and the hinge arm mounts to a base plate on the cabinet, ordered separately. Use Blum base plates matched to this series. Plates from other brands will not connect to this hinge arm.

ONYX BLACK in Steel

The hinge is plated steel in Blum's ONYX BLACK finish. In a blind corner, the hinge sits close to a wall or adjacent cabinet, so it is often more visible than a hinge in a standard run. The dark finish earns its place here by disappearing against black or dark-stained frames rather than drawing the eye. ONYX BLACK Blum accessories are not interchangeable with the nickel versions, so keep the finish consistent across hinges and plates on the same door.

Where This Hinge Belongs

This is the hinge for a designer or installer speccing inset doors on a blind corner in a kitchen or built-in where dark hardware is the finish direction. It works on both frameless and face-frame cabinets. The screw-on plate connection is the right call when the cabinet side does not have pre-drilled 5mm system holes, or when a direct mechanical fastening is preferred over a press-in system. Cabinet shops finishing a full run of ONYX BLACK hardware will want to confirm the plate finish matches before ordering plates separately. For a door that overlays the cabinet side rather than sitting flush inside it, an overlay blind corner hinge is the correct choice instead.
