PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Blum 71B9790 CLIP top BLUMOTION 95° Inset INSERTA Hinge
The Blum 71B9790 is a nickel-plated CLIP top BLUMOTION hinge designed for thick and profiled inset cabinet doors. The cranked hinge arm positions the door inside the cabinet opening, while its restricted 95° opening angle helps control door movement in installations where a wider-opening hinge may be unsuitable.
Integrated BLUMOTION technology provides smooth, controlled soft closing without requiring a separate damper. The hinge also features Blum's INSERTA tool-free cup fixing, allowing rapid installation into a correctly prepared door drilling pattern.

Inset-door application
An inset hinge is used where the cabinet door closes inside the cabinet opening rather than covering the cabinet side or frame. Correct planning is particularly important because sufficient clearance must be allowed between the door edge and cabinet panel throughout the opening movement.
The door thickness, edge profile, hinge-cup position, cabinet construction and selected mounting plate all affect the final reveal and door position.
INSERTA tool-free fixing
Blum's INSERTA mechanism secures the hinge cup to the door without conventional cup-fixing screws. The hinge is inserted into the prepared 35mm cup hole and two 8mm fixing holes before the INSERTA locking mechanism is closed.
INSERTA refers to the hinge-cup connection to the door. A separate Blum CLIP mounting plate is still required on the cabinet.

Frequently asked questions
What is an inset cabinet hinge?
An inset hinge positions the closed door inside the cabinet opening rather than allowing it to overlap the cabinet side panel.
Is the Blum 71B9790 suitable for thick doors?
Yes. It is specifically designed for thick and profiled fronts. Blum's planning information covers door thicknesses from approximately 16mm to 32mm, but the door profile and required opening clearance must also be checked.
What does INSERTA mean?
INSERTA is Blum's tool-free method of securing the hinge cup into a correctly prepared door. It does not describe the separately fitted cabinet mounting plate.
Is the mounting plate included?
No. A compatible Blum CLIP mounting plate must be selected and ordered separately.
Can the BLUMOTION mechanism be switched off?
Yes. The integrated BLUMOTION mechanism can be deactivated when reduced closing resistance is required for a small or lightweight door.
Is this hinge supplied individually?
Yes. Hart Wholesale supplies this product as one hinge.
