PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Blum CLIP top BLUMOTION 155° Zero-Protrusion INSERTA Hinge – Onyx Black
The Blum 71B7590 CLIP top BLUMOTION hinge combines an exceptionally wide 155° opening angle with integrated soft closing, zero-protrusion movement and tool-free INSERTA hinge-cup fixing.
Designed for full-overlay cabinet doors, its zero-protrusion geometry is particularly useful for cabinets containing internal drawers, pull-out shelves, wire baskets or larder fittings. When correctly planned, the open door is carried clear of the cabinet's internal working width so pull-outs can travel forward without striking it.
The premium Onyx Black finish discreetly coordinates with dark cabinets, black mounting plates and contemporary furniture interiors.
Integrated BLUMOTION soft closing
BLUMOTION is built directly into the hinge, providing smooth and controlled closing regardless of the door's closing speed. No separate soft-close adapter is required.
The BLUMOTION function can be deactivated using the switch on the hinge. This can be helpful on smaller or lighter doors where fewer active dampers may provide better closing performance.
Why use a zero-protrusion hinge?
With a conventional hinge, part of the open door may remain inside the cabinet opening and obstruct an internal drawer or pull-out. When the 71B7590 is correctly planned and installed, its wide-angle zero-protrusion movement carries the door clear, providing unobstructed access to fittings inside the cabinet.
Typical applications include:
- Kitchen pantry and larder cabinets
- Cabinets with drawers behind a single outer door
- Internal pull-out shelves and baskets
- Wide cabinet doors requiring generous access
- Dark furniture requiring an Onyx Black hinge
Tool-free INSERTA installation
The INSERTA mechanism secures the hinge cup into a correctly drilled cabinet door without conventional cup-fixing screws. This provides fast, repeatable installation and a clean fixing arrangement.
The hinge arm connects to a compatible mounting plate using Blum's tool-free CLIP mechanism. This allows the door to be removed and refitted without disturbing the plate or cabinet adjustment.
A compatible Blum CLIP mounting plate in Onyx Black must be selected and ordered separately. Plate height and fixing position depend on the required overlay and cabinet construction.

Door-thickness and opening-angle guidance
The unrestricted 155° configuration is intended for doors from 20mm to 24mm thick. Doors up to 31mm may be possible when the compatible Blum 92° opening-angle stop is installed. The stop reduces the maximum opening angle, so the hinge will no longer open to 155°.
Door thickness, drilling distance, overlay and mounting-plate height must be checked during planning. A trial installation is recommended for unusual overlays, mitred doors or cabinets positioned immediately beside a wall.
Important ordering information
This product is supplied as one complete hinge. The INSERTA hinge cup and integrated BLUMOTION mechanism are part of the hinge. The CLIP mounting plate, opening-angle restrictor and decorative cover caps are sold separately.
For the same movement with a conventional screw-on hinge cup, choose the Blum 71B7550 screw-on BLUMOTION hinge.
For a handleless TIP-ON application, choose the Blum 70T7590.TL unsprung INSERTA hinge instead.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does zero protrusion mean?
When correctly planned, the hinge moves the open door clear of the cabinet's internal working width. This helps internal drawers and pull-outs travel past the door without obstruction.
Does the 71B7590 include soft close?
Yes. BLUMOTION soft close is integrated into the hinge, so no separate damping adapter is required.
Can BLUMOTION be switched off?
Yes. The damping function can be deactivated using the switch on the hinge, which can be useful on small or lightweight doors.
What does INSERTA mean?
INSERTA is Blum's tool-free hinge-cup fixing. The cup locks into the correctly prepared door drilling without conventional fixing screws.
Is the mounting plate included?
No. The separate component is the CLIP mounting plate, which must be selected according to the cabinet construction and required overlay.
What is the difference between 71B7590 and 71B7550?
Both provide 155° zero-protrusion movement and integrated BLUMOTION. The 71B7590 uses tool-free INSERTA cup fixing, while the 71B7550 has a screw-on hinge cup.
Can this hinge be used with TIP-ON?
This is a sprung, self-closing BLUMOTION hinge. For a normal TIP-ON push-to-open door, use the unsprung 70T7590.TL version instead.
Can it be used with doors thicker than 24mm?
Doors up to 31mm may be possible when the compatible 92° opening-angle stop is used. The reduced opening angle and complete installation must be checked against Blum planning information.
