This Blum CLIP top BLUMOTION hinge is built for half overlay doors on face-frame and frameless cabinets, delivering wide-arc access up to 155 degrees combined with integrated soft-close damping and a zero-protrusion arm that stays flush with the cabinet interior when the door is open.
A standard cabinet hinge opens to 110 degrees, which covers everyday access well. At 155 degrees, the door swings back far enough to clear nearly the full opening width and lie close to the cabinet face, which matters in tight quarters where a half-open door becomes an obstacle. Corner runs, pantry pull-outs, and wall cabinets next to appliances all benefit from a door that gets fully out of the way. The zero-protrusion arm adds to that by folding flush rather than jutting into the interior, so reaching inside is unobstructed even at the hinge location. The hinge mounts to a separate base plate on the cabinet, sold separately, and is compatible only with Blum plates matched to your cabinet construction.
The hinge body is steel in a nickel finish. The nickel color reads as a warm, neutral metallic that pairs naturally with brushed or polished hardware in traditional and transitional kitchens. BLUMOTION soft-close is integrated into the hinge, not added on, so the damping is consistent across the life of the hinge without a separate adapter to maintain or replace. The screw-on mount is the mechanically direct connection, attaching the hinge to the cabinet side with wood screws rather than relying on system holes, which makes it the right call for custom cabinets, retrofit work, and face-frame boxes that were not drilled on the 32mm grid.
Specify this hinge on half overlay doors in frameless or face-frame cabinets where access matters as much as the quiet close. It suits cabinetmakers building corner and pantry sections, remodelers swapping out hardware in existing face-frame kitchens, and designers who want the widest opening available with soft-close on a half-overlay door. The 35mm cup bores into the back of the door in the standard configuration for doors 16 to 22mm thick. For doors over 22mm, use a thick-door hinge. Because soft-close tops out at 155 degrees in the Blum CLIP top line, this hinge is as wide as the opening gets while still delivering a cushioned, quiet close.
Yes. The hinge arm connects to a base plate that mounts to the cabinet, and that plate is sold separately. Use a Blum plate matched to your cabinet type. Plates are not interchangeable across brands.
The door swings open to 155 degrees instead of 110, so it clears nearly the full opening and sits close to the cabinet face. The zero-protrusion arm also folds flush with the interior rather than protruding into it. The trade-off is that wide-angle hinges are not offered beyond 155 degrees with soft-close in this line.
Screw-on mounts with standard wood screws and does not require pre-drilled 5mm system holes in the cabinet. It is the practical choice for face-frame cabinets, custom boxes, and retrofit work where system holes are absent.
Yes. The half-crank geometry is designed for exactly that application: each door overlays about half the shared partition, and the arms stay out of each other's way.
When the job calls for the furthest swing soft-close allows on a half overlay door, this nickel CLIP top hinge delivers the 155-degree opening, the flush zero-protrusion arm, and the BLUMOTION damping in a single part.
