100 x 71T3550 - 110° Overlay Hinge with choice of mounting plate

This is a trade box containing 100 Blum CLIP top overlay hinges, designed for kitchen installers who need reliable stock on site. Each hinge opens to 110 degrees and includes the steel mounting plate and fixings needed for installation.

Where It Fits

These are overlay hinges, meaning your cabinet doors sit over the front edge of the cabinet box rather than sitting inside the frame. This is the standard approach for most contemporary kitchen designs. The 110-degree opening angle works well for most cabinet positions, giving you good access without the door swinging too wide.

How It Works

The CLIP mechanism means the hinge arm clips securely onto the mounting plate once installed, but can be removed easily if you need to take a door off for adjustment or maintenance. Each hinge has built-in spring loading to help support the door weight and ensure it closes properly.

Why It Matters

Having hinges that adjust in three directions matters more than you might expect. The side adjustment helps align doors with each other, height adjustment ensures consistent gaps, and depth adjustment lets you fine-tune how the door sits against the cabinet box. This flexibility means your kitchen doors will look precisely fitted even when cabinet tolerances vary slightly.

Design Consideration

The 110-degree opening works for most situations, but check corner cabinets where doors might hit adjacent units or walls. These hinges work with door thicknesses from 16mm to 26mm, covering most kitchen door specifications. Without integrated soft close, doors will close with normal spring action rather than the controlled slow closure you get with Blumotion variants.

Build Quality

Blum's steel construction and nickel finish provide long-term reliability. The CLIP mechanism is engineered to maintain its grip strength over repeated use. Each hinge carries Blum's lifetime guarantee, reflecting the expected durability in daily kitchen use.

Options

This trade box includes your choice of mounting plate type to suit different installation methods. Cover caps are available separately if you want to conceal the hinge arm and boss for a cleaner look.

Closing Guidance

This quantity suits larger kitchen projects or installers who prefer to keep proven hardware in stock. For your specific kitchen, we would calculate the exact hinge count needed and specify any soft close variants based on how you use your cabinets.
