ONYX BLACK Blind Corner Hinge With Soft-Close for Inset Doors

This Blum CLIP top BLUMOTION blind corner hinge handles inset doors on blind-corner cabinets, combining a dark ONYX BLACK finish with integrated soft-close damping on both face-frame and frameless boxes.

Key Features

• ONYX BLACK finish coordinates with dark cabinet hardware and handle-less fronts for a consistent, low-profile look.
• BLUMOTION soft-close damps the door over the final degrees of travel so it settles quietly into the blind-corner opening.
• 95 degree opening angle is engineered for blind-corner geometry, letting an inset door clear the adjacent cabinet without collision.
• Inset arm geometry sets the door flush inside the opening with an even reveal on all sides.
• Dowel mount cup presses into pre-bored 8mm dowel holes in the door for fast, repeatable CNC production.
• Three-way adjustment lets the installer dial in height, side, and depth after the door is hung.

Blind Corners and Flush Inset Doors

A blind-corner cabinet sits against a wall or an adjacent run, and the door on its exposed side needs a hinge that restricts the swing so the door clears whatever is next to it. The 95 degree opening on this hinge is not a limitation — it is the designed angle that gives an inset door the clearance it needs in that tight corner position. The inset geometry holds the door flush within its opening, framed by an even gap on every edge. The BLUMOTION damper then slows the close so the door does not slam into that precise fit day after day. The 35mm cup seats in the door bore, and the arm clips to a Blum base plate mounted to the cabinet — the plate is sold separately and must be a Blum plate matched to the cabinet construction.

Finish, Material, and Long-Term Performance

The hinge body is steel finished in Blum's ONYX BLACK. In dark-finish kitchens and furniture builds where pulls, hinges, and slides are all coordinated in black, the ONYX BLACK designation matters: it is the exact finish name for this color in the Blum system, and it pairs with other ONYX BLACK Blum accessories without a visible mismatch. Nickel-finish Blum accessories are a separate color family and will not match. The BLUMOTION mechanism is integrated into the hinge body, so there is no separate damper to add, lose, or replace over the cabinet's life.

Who Reaches for This Hinge

Cabinet shops running CNC equipment will find the dowel mount efficient: the pre-bored dowel holes in the door accept the cup without cup screws, which speeds production on multi-unit runs. Custom builders and designers specifying dark-finish kitchens use it to keep the hardware palette consistent across all the visible metal in the room. It works on both frameless and face-frame boxes, so it carries across different cabinet constructions in the same project. For doors thicker than about 22mm, a thick-door blind-corner hinge is the right call instead. A compatible Blum mounting plate, sold separately, completes the installation.
