About this hinge

This is a Blum Clip Top concealed hinge with a 95 degree opening, with BLUMOTION soft close built into the hinge itself, so the door decelerates on the last few degrees and closes without a slam. It is built for thick doors. Concealed hinges like part 71B9550 are what frameless cabinets use: the cup goes in the door, the arm clips to a plate on the cabinet, and the door is adjusted from the hinge after it is hung, sold each.

Cabinet and overlay

Part 71B9550: Full overlay means the door covers the cabinet side or partition almost completely, the usual choice for frameless cabinets with one door per side panel. This 95 degree Clip Top hinge is the full overlay version, built for frameless cabinets, on a Clip wing or in-line mounting plate. Plates for part 71B9550 are sold separately by height in cabinet hinges; the plate, not the hinge, is what sets the reveal.

Where this version fits

Where part 71B9550 earns its keep: thick doors. Order the plain version of the same hinge line for a standard cabinet door, and reach for this one specifically when the cabinet calls for it; mixing them up is the most common fitting mistake on this hinge family.

Installation notes

Bore the cup in the door, press or screw the Clip Top hinge in, screw the mounting plate to the cabinet, then clip the hinge arm onto the plate; it releases with a tab for taking the door off later. Adjust side to side, depth, and height on part 71B9550 from the hinge and plate so the gaps match the neighboring doors. Behind part 71B9550, the drawers and pull outs are our department; Drawer slide types shows what slides each kind of cabinet uses.

Pair it with drawer boxes

A 95 degree Clip Top full overlay door usually has a drawer or pull out somewhere behind it, and we build those in our Las Vegas shop: a custom size dovetail drawer box in Baltic Birch or Hard Maple (Select Grade), or a standard size drawer box off the shelf. Built in USA. How to install a replacement drawer box and Drawer side thickness cover that side of the job if both are changing at once with part 71B9550.
