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 95 degree hinge here comes 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 the version for positive angle applications. Sold each for this Clip Top 95 degree hinge; a standard door takes two, tall or heavy doors take more.

Cabinet and overlay

This 95 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 plate for part 79B9496 is a separate purchase in cabinet hinges, chosen by height to set the reveal.

Where this version fits

Picking the wrong hinge in this family usually means the wrong overlay, not the wrong brand; part 79B9496 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. This version is also built specifically for positive angle applications.

Installation notes

Once the cup is bored and part 79B9496 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 79B9496 and the plate, so a whole run of half overlay doors lines up without redrilling.
