This is Blum's CLIP top BLUMOTION hinge in their Onyx finish, a concealed hinge that opens cabinet doors to 107 degrees while providing integrated soft-close functionality. The soft-close mechanism is built directly into the hinge boss rather than added as a separate component.

Where It Fits

These hinges work with overlay cabinet doors up to 24mm thick in standard applications. The 107-degree opening angle gives you good access to the cabinet interior without the door swinging too wide, making it particularly suitable for kitchens where space around open doors matters.

How It Works

The BLUMOTION soft-close technology adapts automatically to each door's weight and the force you use when closing it. Whether you push a door gently or give it a firm close, the mechanism takes over in the final phase to bring it home smoothly and quietly. You can deactivate the soft-close function if needed, which can be useful for very light doors where the mechanism might feel too strong.

Why It Matters

Beyond the obvious benefit of quiet closing, this hinge protects your cabinet doors and frames from the daily impact of closing. It also means you don't need to be careful about how firmly you close doors, particularly useful when your hands are full or when children are using the kitchen.

Design Consideration

The integrated design means there are no additional components cluttering the interior of your cabinet, and nothing extra to maintain or replace. The Onyx finish provides a dark, contemporary look that works well with modern hardware schemes. However, you'll need to select appropriate mounting plates separately, as these aren't included with the hinge.

Build Quality

The hinge body is steel with Blum's Onyx coating. The three-dimensional adjustment system allows for fine-tuning in all directions: side-to-side, height, and depth, with the depth adjustment offering infinite variability rather than fixed positions. This precision in adjustment is what allows the hinge to work properly over time.

Closing Guidance

These hinges suit most standard kitchen applications where you want reliable soft-close performance without visible hardware. The 107-degree opening angle works well in most kitchen layouts, though you'll want to consider your specific cabinet positioning and clearance requirements.
