This Blum CLIP top self-close hinge opens full overlay doors to 170 degrees, giving near-flat clearance on frameless and face-frame cabinets alike, with EXPANDO expanding-dowel plate mounting for a firm mechanical connection.
Most cabinet hinges open to 110 degrees, which is enough for everyday use. This hinge is for the situations where that is not enough. When a door swings into a corner, sits beside an appliance, or opens over a countertop where the door needs to fold back as far as possible, the 170 degree angle clears the obstruction that a standard hinge leaves in the way. The door rests nearly parallel to the cabinet side, keeping the opening fully clear while someone works at the cabinet.
The 35mm cup bores into the door and the arm clips to a base plate on the cabinet, with the plate ordered separately. Use a Blum plate matched to your cabinet and the full overlay position. EXPANDO anchors that plate with expanding dowels rather than flat screws, which is the plate-mounting choice when the mechanical connection needs to hold over repeated use or in a high-traffic cabinet location.
The hinge body is plated steel. The nickel finish sits in the middle of most hardware palettes, pairing cleanly with chrome pulls, brushed nickel knobs, and stainless appliances without demanding a finish-matched replacement. For shops building in volume across a range of door hardware, nickel is the finish that rarely conflicts. Note that this is a self-close hinge: a spring draws the door shut once it reaches the closing zone. The 170 degree opening angle means soft-close is not available on this configuration; for a damped, quiet close, the correct choice is a hinge in the 110 to 155 degree range.
Reach for this hinge on base cabinets beside appliances, pantry pull-outs where the door needs to clear the opening entirely, corner installations where a door would otherwise block the adjacent run, and any built-in where the design calls for maximum swing. It fits standard doors in the 16 to 22mm range and works on both frameless and face-frame boxes. For doors thicker than 22mm, a thick-door hinge is the correct fit. Cabinet shops running production on frameless boxes, contractors fitting face-frame kitchens, and designers specifying accessible or barrier-free cabinetry all have reason to put this angle to work.
No. The base plate mounts to the cabinet and the hinge arm clips onto it, but the plate is a separate purchase. Use a Blum plate matched to your cabinet construction and the full overlay position you need.
EXPANDO is Blum's expanding-dowel plate-to-cabinet method. The plate anchors with dowels that expand mechanically in the cabinet panel rather than relying solely on flat screws. It is a good choice where a firmer, more durable plate connection is wanted, particularly on frequently opened doors.
Soft-close dampers are not engineered for the geometry of a 170 degree hinge. The widest opening angle that pairs with integrated soft-close in the Blum CLIP top line is 155 degrees. This hinge uses a self-close spring, which pulls the door shut but does not cushion the close.
Yes. This hinge is designed for both frameless and face-frame cabinets. Pair it with the Blum face-frame plate that matches your stile and the full overlay position you are working to.
When the job calls for a door that gets fully out of the way, this Blum CLIP top hinge delivers the clearance, with EXPANDO plate mounting built to hold up through years of daily use.
