What this hinge is

Part 06191772, the Blum Compact Clip, is a concealed face frame hinge: the cup is bored into the door, and the arm screws to the face frame by wrapping around the frame stile, which gives a stronger grip on wider frames. BLUMOTION soft close is built into part 06191772. It is sold each.

Face frame fit

Part 06191772 is for face frame cabinets only. Wrap around means the base wraps the frame stile and screws into its face and edge, the usual choice when the stile is wide enough.

Part 06191772 is the wrap around version: it wraps the stile and screws into its face and edge for a stronger hold on wider frames. The edge mount version screws into the edge of the stile instead and needs no room behind the frame.
