This is Blum's standard cabinet door hinge with integrated soft-close mechanism. The 110° opening angle works for most overlay doors up to 26mm thick, and the Onyx finish provides a dark, contemporary look that sits well with modern hardware schemes.
Where It Fits
You'll find these hinges on your main cabinet doors, particularly where you want that gentle, controlled closing action. The 110° opening gives you full access to the cabinet interior without the door swinging too wide. They work well in kitchens where cabinet doors might get closed with varying force throughout the day.
How It Works
The soft-close mechanism lives inside the hinge boss itself, not as a separate component. When you push the door closed, it catches the motion in the last few centimeters and draws it gently shut. The system adapts to different door weights and closing speeds, so a heavy door closes as smoothly as a light one.
You can adjust the hinge in three directions once fitted. Side-to-side and up-and-down adjustments are straightforward, while the depth adjustment uses a spiral screw for fine control. If you have lighter doors that don't need the soft-close action, you can deactivate the Blumotion feature.
Why It Matters
Soft-close hinges reduce the daily wear on your kitchen. Cabinet doors close quietly and won't slam shut when you're cooking early in the morning or late at night. The integrated design means fewer components to maintain or replace over time.
Build Quality
The steel construction handles regular kitchen use, and Blum backs these hinges with a lifetime guarantee. The Onyx finish coordinates with dark or black hardware schemes. The precision of the mechanism means the soft-close action stays consistent over years of use.
Installation Requirements
Each hinge needs a corresponding mounting plate fixed to the cabinet side. The mounting plate isn't included, so you'll need to specify these separately based on your cabinet construction and door overlay requirements.
These hinges suit most standard kitchen applications where you want reliable soft-close action without visible mechanisms. Consider whether the Onyx finish works with your other cabinet hardware before specifying.
