PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Blum 70T9690BTL CLIP top 95° dual half-overlay profile-door unsprung INSERTA hinge – Onyx Black

The Blum 70T9690BTL is an unsprung CLIP top hinge for dual or half-overlay cabinet-door applications. It is designed for thick furniture doors and fronts with decorative profiles where a conventional 110° hinge may not provide sufficient opening clearance.

In a dual application, two doors sit on opposite sides of the same central cabinet partition. The cranked hinge arm provides the half-overlay geometry required for each door to cover only part of the shared partition.

This version opens to 95° and uses Blum’s tool-free INSERTA hinge-cup fixing. Its Onyx Black finish suits dark cabinet interiors and contemporary furniture.

Planning and fitting

Door thickness alone does not confirm compatibility. Check the front profile, edge radius, cup drilling distance, mounting-plate height and required operating gap together. Trial fitting is recommended for thicker or heavily profiled doors.

INSERTA is the hinge-to-door connection. The hinge cup must be installed into the correctly prepared drilling pattern, while a separate Blum CLIP mounting plate is still required on the cabinet.

For handleless furniture, use matching unsprung hinges throughout a TIP-ON door. Do not combine standard CLIP top hinges and CLIP top BLUMOTION hinges on the same door.

For the screw-on half-overlay alternative, compare the Blum 70T9650.TL 95° unsprung screw-on hinge in Onyx Black. Browse the Blum CLIP top half-overlay hinge collection.

Matching components

The mounting plate, TIP-ON unit, cover caps and drilling tools are supplied separately. Select the mounting plate height according to the cabinet construction, required half overlay and finished door gap.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a dual or half-overlay hinge?

It is used where two doors share one central cabinet partition. Each door overlays only part of the partition, allowing the two fronts to open independently.

What does unsprung mean?

The hinge contains no closing spring. It allows the door to move freely but will not pull it into the closed position.

Can this hinge be used with TIP-ON?

Yes. Unsprung hinges are suitable for correctly planned handleless push-to-open applications using a compatible Blum TIP-ON unit.

Does this hinge include soft closing?

No. It has neither integrated BLUMOTION nor a closing spring. Choose a compatible integrated BLUMOTION version when straightforward soft closing is required.

Can I add a BLUMOTION damper to this hinge?

A damper controls closing speed but does not provide the closing force missing from an unsprung hinge. Use an integrated-BLUMOTION version unless the complete hinge arrangement has been professionally planned.

Is INSERTA a mounting plate?

No. INSERTA is the tool-free fixing that secures the hinge cup to the door. The cabinet mounting plate is a separate component.

Is the mounting plate included?

No. A compatible Blum CLIP mounting plate must be ordered separately.

What door thickness can be used?

Blum provides planning values for fronts from 16 mm to 32 mm. Suitability depends on the profile, edge radius, drilling distance and required operating gap.
