Blum Compact 30C soft close hinge is a concealed face frame cabinet hinge that provides 3/8 inch overlay, so doors cover the frame consistently and create a clean frontal appearance on finished cabinets. The hinge belongs to the Blum Compact line of concealed cabinet hinges, which keeps the hardware out of sight and supports a more finished look on face frame installations. BLUMOTION integrated into the hinge cup slows the closing action, which reduces impact on the cabinet and helps protect doors and frames during daily use. The hinge offers 105 degree opening, giving typical access for most residential cabinet layouts while still keeping the door inside a practical swing range. The nickel finish on the hinge presents a uniform appearance that aligns with common cabinet hardware finishes and supports a coordinated interior look across hinge rows.
The 3/8 inch overlay specification defines how far the cabinet door overlays the face frame, which lets installers plan reveals across banks of doors with predictable coverage of the frame edge. The screw-on identification describes how the hinge attaches, using screws to fix the hinge to the door and frame interface so it suits typical woodworking practices for face frame cabinets. Placement of the 7/16 inch cup depth into the door allows boring operations to follow known hinge cup standards, supporting use on standard thickness cabinet doors that are machined with commercial boring equipment. The 105 degree opening angle gives doors enough swing to access cabinet interiors while helping avoid interference with adjacent cabinetry in tight runs or against appliances.
This concealed face frame cabinet hinge is designed for 3/8 inch overlay doors on face frame cabinets, matching common face frame construction in many kitchen and bath projects where partial overlay doors are specified. The hinge belongs to the concealed face frame hinges category, so it is suited to applications where visible surface hinges are not desired and a hidden hinge line is part of the design requirement. BLUMOTION integrated into the hinge cup supports soft-close operation on cabinets that see frequent opening and closing, which is valuable in busy kitchen runs and work areas where doors are operated repeatedly during the day. The 105 degree opening function works well in standard cabinet bays where full 180 degree swing is not required, providing clearance for interior access while still protecting doors from contacting nearby cabinets or walls in many layouts. The combination of Blum Compact 30C identity and 3/8 inch overlay specification gives cabinetmakers a defined hinge solution for partial overlay face frame doors where a compact concealed hinge is desired.
The use of Blum's CLIP technology on this hinge allows the hinge connection to be separated without tools, which helps during fitting, door finishing, and later adjustments because doors can be removed and rehung quickly without disturbing screw positions. Three dimensional cam adjustment on the hinge provides controlled movement in three directions by turning cams, which lets installers fine tune gaps between doors and align tops and bottoms without relocating mounting points on the cabinet. The BLUMOTION integrated into the hinge cup centralizes the soft-close function at the hinge, which keeps the damping aligned with the pivot point and supports smooth closing across the hinge pair on each door. The deactivation switch for small or light doors allows installers to deactivate BLUMOTION on select hinges where door mass is low, helping those doors reach full close while keeping soft-close active on larger or heavier doors within the same project. The overload safety feature within the BLUMOTION system is designed to manage excessive closing force, which supports consistent operation by allowing the internal mechanism to recover rather than deform during hard use. A 7/16 inch cup depth matched with the screw-on configuration gives fabrication teams a clear boring and fastening setup, which simplifies template selection and helps maintain repeatable drilling programs across large cabinet runs.
The Blum Compact 30C soft close hinge is a concealed face frame cabinet hinge, so it is intended for face frame cabinets using 3/8 inch overlay doors in partial overlay layouts.
The hinge is specified as 3/8 inch overlay, so when bored and mounted correctly the door overlays the face frame by 3/8 inch, establishing consistent reveals across doors.
The hinge provides a 105 degree opening angle, which offers wide access to cabinet interiors while keeping the door swing within a range suited to typical kitchen and bath layouts.
BLUMOTION integrated into the hinge cup slows the door near the end of travel, which reduces slamming and lessens impact on the cabinet, helping maintain door alignment during use.
The three dimensional cam adjustment allows height, side, and depth changes at the hinge, supporting precise door reveals and alignment without moving the screw positions on the cabinet.
The deactivation switch on the hinge lets BLUMOTION be turned off for small or light doors, which helps those doors close fully when their lower weight does not need soft-close damping.
The Blum Compact 30C soft close hinge with 3/8 inch overlay, BLUMOTION in the hinge cup, and three dimensional cam adjustment offers a defined setup for concealed face frame cabinets using partial overlay doors. The 105 degree opening angle, overload safety feature, and deactivation switch for small or light doors all support predictable performance on both new construction and upgrade work where controlled closing and clean alignment are priorities. For cabinet projects that require a concealed face frame hinge with BLUMOTION and a 7/16 inch cup depth, this hinge configuration provides a clear specification to align boring patterns, mounting positions, and door overlay targets across the job.
