This is Blum's wide-angle hinge designed for cabinets where internal pull-out drawers or shelves need clearance when the door opens. The 155-degree opening angle gives you much wider access than a standard hinge, while the integrated BLUMOTION mechanism provides soft-close operation.
Where It Fits
You'll use this hinge on cabinets that house pull-out storage systems, corner units, or anywhere you need the door to swing completely clear of internal fittings. It works with overlay doors between 20-24mm thick, though thicker doors require angle stops that reduce the opening to 110 or 92 degrees.
How It Works
The hinge opens to 155 degrees, pulling the door well away from the cabinet opening. The BLUMOTION soft-close mechanism is built into the hinge boss itself, so there are no separate dampers to fit. You can adjust the hinge in three directions: 2mm up or down, 2mm left or right, and between 3mm forward and 2mm back.
Why It Matters
Standard hinges often leave doors partially blocking access to pull-out drawers or corner storage. This wide-angle opening gives you full access to everything inside the cabinet without the door getting in your way. The soft-close mechanism adapts automatically to different door weights and closing forces, so every door closes smoothly whether you push it gently or give it a firm shove.
Design Consideration
This hinge works well where you have the space for doors to swing wide, but consider your kitchen layout carefully. A 155-degree opening needs more clearance than you might expect. If space is tight, you may find the door hits adjacent units or appliances when fully opened.
Build Quality
The hinge body is steel with a nickel finish, and the BLUMOTION mechanism can be deactivated if needed for lighter doors. Blum covers these hinges with a lifetime guarantee. The soft-close system is built into the smallest possible space within the hinge boss, keeping the mechanism protected and compact.
Options
This specific hinge is for 20-24mm thick doors with overlay mounting. Blum makes versions for different door thicknesses and mounting types, each requiring its own compatible mounting plate. The mounting plate is sold separately and must match your cabinet construction and door type.
Consider whether you actually need the full 155-degree opening in your kitchen layout, and check that adjacent units or walls won't restrict the door swing before specifying this hinge.
