PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Blum CLIP top BLUMOTION 110° Half Overlay Screw-On Hinge 71B3650
The Blum CLIP top BLUMOTION 71B3650 is a sprung 110° concealed hinge for dual or half-overlay cabinet-door applications. Its half-cranked hinge arm allows two doors to be fitted to opposite sides of the same central cabinet partition.
BLUMOTION soft close is integrated directly into the hinge cup, producing a smooth and controlled closing movement without requiring a separate soft-close adapter. The damping function can be switched off on individual hinges when less resistance is required for a small or lightweight door.
Where is a half-overlay hinge used?
A half-overlay — or dual-application — hinge is commonly used where two cabinet doors share one central dividing panel. One door is fitted to each side of the partition, with both doors partially covering its front edge.
The half-cranked arm differentiates this hinge from the straight-arm 71B3550 full-overlay hinge and the full-cranked 71B3750 inset hinge.
Screw-on hinge-cup fixing
The 71B3650 uses a traditional screw-on hinge cup. The 35mm cup fits into a correctly prepared bore in the back of the cabinet door and is secured through the two fixing holes in the cup flange.
This screw-on arrangement is suitable for cabinet manufacture, replacement hinges and installations where a conventional mechanical fixing is preferred.
The hinge arm connects to a compatible Blum mounting plate using the CLIP mechanism. This allows the fitted door to be attached or removed from the cabinet without tools.

Technical specifications
Mounting plate and installation
A compatible Blum CLIP mounting plate is required and must be ordered separately. The correct mounting-plate height, hinge-cup position and resulting door overlay depend on the cabinet construction, door thickness, drilling distance and required gap. A trial installation is recommended before drilling a complete set of doors.

An optional Blum 86° opening-angle stop can be fitted where the door must be prevented from opening into an adjacent wall, cabinet or appliance.
Frequently asked questions
What is a half-overlay cabinet hinge?
A half-overlay hinge allows two cabinet doors to share one central partition. Each door is mounted to an opposite side of the partition and partially covers its front edge.
Is the 71B3650 a soft-close hinge?
Yes. It has integrated BLUMOTION soft close and a sprung, self-closing action.
Can BLUMOTION be switched off?
Yes. The damping mechanism can be deactivated on individual hinges when required.
Does this hinge include a mounting plate?
No. The hinge is supplied individually, and a compatible Blum CLIP mounting plate must be purchased separately.
What does screw-on mean?
It means the 35mm hinge cup is secured to the back of the door with screws through the cup flange. It does not describe the separate cabinet-side mounting plate.
Is the CLIP connection tool-free?
Yes. The hinge arm can be attached to or removed from the mounting plate without tools. The screw-on hinge cup still requires conventional screw fixing.
What is the difference between 71B3650 and 71T3650?
Both are sprung, half-overlay hinges with screw-on cups. The 71B3650 includes integrated BLUMOTION soft close; the 71T3650 does not.
