PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Blum 71T3590 CLIP top 110° Overlay INSERTA Hinge
The Blum 71T3590 is a sprung concealed hinge for an overlay cabinet door. Its straight arm gives a 110° opening and positions the closed door over the cabinet side. The nickel-plated hinge uses a 35 mm INSERTA cup that locks into an accurately prepared door without conventional cup-fixing screws. One purchase supplies one hinge.
INSERTA fixing and cabinet mounting
Prepare the door using the exact Blum drilling pattern: the existing model data specifies a 35 mm cup bore, two 8 mm fixing holes on 45 mm centres, 13 mm cup boring depth and 3–7 mm drilling distance. Check current Blum planning before drilling. INSERTA is a tool-free cup-locking system, unlike knock-in dowels or a screw-on cup. The hinge arm separately clips without tools onto a compatible Blum CLIP mounting plate, which must be selected and purchased separately. The cabinet-side plate itself still needs appropriate fixing.
Closing and alignment
The closing spring pulls the door shut; this hinge does not contain integrated BLUMOTION soft close. The spiral screw gives depth adjustment; side adjustment is ±2 mm and depth adjustment +3/−2 mm in the existing technical data. Height is adjusted through the selected plate. For conventional cup screws see the 71T3550 screw-on hinge; for pressed dowels see the 71T3580 knock-in hinge. Verify door drilling and hinge compatibility before substitutions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does 71T3590 have soft close?
No. Its spring closes the door, but integrated BLUMOTION is not included.
What does INSERTA mean?
It is the tool-free locking method for fitting the hinge cup into the correctly drilled door, without conventional cup screws.
Is the entire cabinet installation tool-free?
No. The cup and hinge-to-plate CLIP connection are tool-free, but a separately selected mounting plate still needs to be fixed to the cabinet.
Is a mounting plate included?
No. One hinge is supplied, and the compatible plate is sold separately.
Is this for an overlay door?
Yes. Its straight arm is for an overlay application; exact coverage depends on plate and drilling geometry.
