This is Blum's wide-angle cabinet hinge with integrated soft-close technology. The 155° opening angle allows doors to swing much further than standard hinges, giving you complete access to the cabinet interior without the door getting in your way.
Where It Fits
You'll use these on overlay cabinet doors where you need the door to open very wide. They work particularly well on corner cabinets, tall larder units, or anywhere you want to reach deep into storage without wrestling past a partially open door. The overlay design means your door sits over the cabinet frame rather than sitting within it.
How It Works
The hinge clips directly onto the mounting plate inside your cabinet, making installation straightforward. Blum's Blumotion technology is built into the hinge mechanism itself, so every door closes gently and quietly without needing separate soft-close devices. You get three-way adjustment, letting you fine-tune the door position up and down, in and out, and side to side after installation.
Why It Matters
That extra opening angle makes a real difference when you're using your kitchen. Instead of opening a door 90° and then manoeuvring around it to reach what's inside, the door swings almost flat against the adjacent cabinet, giving you a clear path to everything stored inside. The soft-close action means doors won't slam even when you're moving quickly around the kitchen.
Build Quality
The hinge body is steel with a nickel finish that resists wear and corrosion. Blum integrates the soft-close mechanism directly into the hinge rather than adding it as a separate component, which tends to be more reliable over time. The adjustment range is generous enough to compensate for minor installation variations without compromising the door's operation.
What's Included
This set gives you everything needed for one cabinet door: two hinges, mounting plates, all screws, covers for a clean appearance, and fitting instructions. Most cabinet doors need two hinges, so this pack handles one complete door installation.
Design Consideration
The wide opening angle is brilliant where you have the space for it, but consider your kitchen layout carefully. If you have limited room between cabinets or an island close by, a door that opens 155° might hit other surfaces. Standard 110° hinges might be more practical in tighter spaces, even though they don't offer the same access benefits.
