This is a specialised Blum hinge designed specifically for blind corner cabinets, where a door needs to connect to a blanking panel around the corner. The L-shaped mechanism allows the door to open at a 95-degree angle while maintaining the soft-close action that Blum's BLUMOTION technology provides.

Where It Fits

You'll find this in corner base cabinets where the design calls for a door that wraps around the corner. It's particularly useful in kitchens where you want to maintain a clean door line around an inside corner without leaving an obvious gap or requiring a complex corner door solution.

How It Works

The hinge connects your cabinet door to a blanking panel that sits at 90 degrees to it. When you open the door, both elements move together as one unit, giving you full access to the corner cabinet space. The integrated BLUMOTION mechanism ensures the door closes softly regardless of how you push it shut.

Why It Matters

Corner cabinets can be awkward to access and often feel like wasted space. This hinge system makes that corner storage genuinely usable while keeping the external appearance neat. You get the soft-close convenience on what could otherwise be a tricky door to operate smoothly.

Design Consideration

This works well when you want corner storage without the complexity of rotating mechanisms or bi-fold doors. However, it does mean the door projects further into the room when open, so you need adequate clearance. The blanking panel also reduces the internal width of your corner cabinet slightly.

Build Quality

The hinge body is steel with Blum's Onyx coating, which gives a dark, contemporary finish. The BLUMOTION damping is built into the hinge boss rather than added as a separate component, making it more compact and reliable. You get three-dimensional adjustment capability, so your installer can fine-tune the door position after fitting.

This hinge requires a compatible CLIP mounting plate, which isn't included. It works with door thicknesses from 16mm to 24mm and offers adjustment ranges of +/-2.5mm sideways, +/-3mm in height, and +/-1mm in depth. The BLUMOTION soft-close can be deactivated if needed for lighter doors.

Closing Guidance

If your kitchen design includes corner base cabinets and you want both accessibility and clean lines, this could be the right solution. Consider the door swing and make sure you have the room for it to operate properly in your kitchen layout.
