This is Blum's standard cabinet door hinge, designed to handle the everyday opening and closing that defines kitchen use. The 110° opening angle gives you good access to your cabinet contents without the door swinging too wide.
Where It Fits
You'll find these hinges on most cabinet doors in your kitchen, from wall units to tall storage. They work with doors up to 26mm thick, which covers most kitchen door styles. The overlay configuration means your door sits over the cabinet frame, giving you that clean, continuous look across your kitchen frontage.
How It Works
The CLIP mechanism is straightforward. Your door lifts on and off without tools, which matters when you need to remove a door for cleaning or adjustment. The spring mechanism provides a controlled close, though not the soft-close action you get with additional damping systems.
Three-dimensional adjustment is built in. You can move your door 3mm in and out, 3mm up and down, and 2mm left and right. The depth adjustment uses a spiral screw that gives you precise control over how your door sits against the cabinet.
Why It Matters
Kitchen doors get opened thousands of times a year. These hinges are built to handle that repetition reliably. The adjustment range means your kitchen installer can get your doors sitting perfectly, and you can maintain that alignment if your kitchen settles over time.
Design Consideration
This is the foundation hinge for most kitchen applications. If you want soft-close action, you'll add Blum's BLUMOTION system. If you prefer touch-to-open doors, you can combine these with TIP-ON mechanisms. Without these additions, your doors will close with spring action only.
The 110° opening angle works well for most situations, but consider whether you need wider access in corner units or particularly deep cabinets.
Build Quality
Steel construction with a nickel finish gives you durability and corrosion resistance. Blum backs these with a lifetime guarantee, reflecting the engineering that goes into what might seem like a simple component. Each hinge requires a mounting plate, which distributes the load across your cabinet side.
These hinges form the foundation of reliable door operation in your kitchen. Your choice of additional systems, soft-close or touch-open, builds on this base mechanism to create the door action that suits how you use your kitchen.
