PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Blum 71B3790 CLIP top BLUMOTION 110° Inset INSERTA Hinge – Onyx Black
The Blum 71B3790 CLIP top BLUMOTION hinge is designed for inset cabinet doors that close inside the cabinet opening rather than covering the front edge of the cabinet sides. Its cranked hinge arm positions the door accurately within the cabinet while allowing a practical 110° opening angle.
The premium Onyx Black finish coordinates particularly well with dark doors, black mounting plates and contemporary cabinet interiors. It provides a discreet, coordinated appearance when the hinge becomes visible with the door open.
BLUMOTION soft closing is integrated directly into the hinge cup, delivering smooth and controlled door movement without requiring a separate damper. The damping function can be deactivated on individual hinges when less resistance is required for smaller or lighter doors.

Designed for inset cabinet doors
An inset door closes within the cabinet opening, leaving the front edges of the cabinet sides visible. This differs from an overlay hinge, where the closed door covers part or all of the cabinet-side edge.
Accurate planning is especially important with inset doors. Door thickness, drilling distance, mounting-plate height and the required clearance around the door must all be considered before drilling. A trial installation is recommended where cabinet dimensions or door-edge profiles vary.
Tool-free INSERTA installation
Prepare a 35mm hinge-cup hole to a depth of 13mm together with two 8mm fixing holes positioned on 45mm centres. Position the hinge cup in the prepared drilling and operate its built-in locking lever. The integrated expanding dowels secure the hinge without separate screws or insertion machinery.
Mounting plate required
HIO71B3790 is supplied as one hinge. A compatible Blum CLIP mounting plate must be purchased separately. The mounting-plate position and height must be selected to suit the inset application, door thickness and required door clearances.
Compare this product with the Blum 71B3590 overlay INSERTA hinge or the Blum 71B3690 half-overlay INSERTA hinge.
