Blum 110-degree cabinet hinges explanation


Blum 110-degree cabinet hinges are a specific type of concealed hinge made by Blum, a high-quality Austrian hardware manufacturer. These hinges are commonly used for modern kitchen cabinets and other furniture where you want a clean, seamless look with no visible hinge hardware from the outside.

Here’s a breakdown of what the Blum 110-degree hinge is and how it works:

🔧 Key Features of Blum 110° Hinges
110° Opening Angle: Allows the cabinet door to open 110 degrees from closed, giving good access to the interior.
Concealed / European-style: Installed inside the cabinet and invisible when the door is closed.
Clip-on mechanism: Many versions use Blum's CLIP top system, making it easy to attach/detach doors without tools.
Soft-close (optional): Many models come with BLUMOTION soft-close technology built in, for silent, smooth closing.
Adjustability: 3-way adjustability (side-to-side, height, and depth) using screws for precise alignment.
Mounting style: Typically face frame or frameless cabinet compatible, depending on the mounting plate used.
Cup size: Usually a 35mm diameter hinge cup, drilled into the door, with a typical depth of 11.5mm.
Finishes available: Now available in nickel plated, onyx black and request (antique brass)
