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 155 degree hinge here comes with a self closing spring that pulls the door shut from the last part of its travel. It is the version for zero protrusion, so the door swings clear of an internal pull out. Sold each for this Clip Top 155 degree hinge; a standard door takes two, tall or heavy doors take more.

Cabinet and overlay

This 155 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 full overlay version, so the door covers the cabinet side or partition almost completely, the usual choice for frameless cabinets with one door per side panel. The plate for part 71T7590 is a separate purchase in cabinet hinges, chosen by height to set the reveal. If you want soft close on this Clip Top 155 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 71T7590 is full overlay, which means the door covers the cabinet side or partition almost completely, the usual choice for frameless cabinets with one door per side panel, and only one of them will give the right reveal on a given cabinet. This version is also built specifically for zero protrusion, so the door swings clear of an internal pull out.

Installation notes

Once the cup is bored and part 71T7590 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 71T7590 and the plate, so a whole run of full overlay doors lines up without redrilling. Drawer slide types covers what is usually happening behind part 71T7590, in the drawers.
