About this hinge

A concealed hinge sits in a cup bored into the back of the door and clips onto a mounting plate on the cabinet, so nothing shows from outside, and the Blum Clip Top 110 degree hinge here comes with a self closing spring that pulls the door shut from the last part of its travel. Sold each for this Clip Top 110 degree hinge; a standard door takes two, tall or heavy doors take more.

Cabinet and overlay

This 110 degree Clip Top hinge is built for frameless cabinets; it clips onto a Clip wing or in-line mounting plate rather than screwing straight to the door frame. It is the half overlay version, so two doors share one partition, each covering about half its thickness, so a bank of doors reads as an even row. The bore pattern in the door is 45mm on part 71T3690. The plate for part 71T3690 is a separate purchase in cabinet hinges, chosen by height to set the reveal. If you want soft close on this Clip Top 110 degree door, the same hinge is made with BLUMOTION, or you can add a BLUMOTION add on unit to an inset door.

Where this version fits

Picking the wrong hinge in this family usually means the wrong overlay, not the wrong brand; part 71T3690 is half overlay, which means two doors share one partition, each covering about half its thickness, so a bank of doors reads as an even row, and only one of them will give the right reveal on a given cabinet. Check the overlay against the cabinet drawing before ordering a second part 71T3690.

Installation notes

Once the 45mm cup is bored and part 71T3690 is in the door, the plate goes on the cabinet and the two clip together with a tab that lets the door come back off later for painting or adjustment. Side to side, depth, and height all adjust from part 71T3690 and the plate, so a whole run of half overlay doors lines up without redrilling. Drawer slide types covers what is usually happening behind part 71T3690, in the drawers.

Questions

Does part 71T3690, the 110 degree Clip Top hinge, include the mounting plate?

No, part 71T3690 does not include the plate; mounting plates are separate so you can choose the plate height and fixing that suits the cabinet, and like every Clip and Clip Top hinge, part 71T3690 clips onto any Clip mounting plate.

Is this Clip Top hinge soft close?

No, this 110 degree version self closes with a spring. The BLUMOTION version of the same hinge, or an add on BLUMOTION unit, gives soft close.
