PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Blum 71T7640N CLIP top 155° Half-Overlay INSERTA Hinge
Fit two cabinet doors around a shared central partition with the Blum 71T7640N. Its half-cranked arm is identified for dual or half-overlay use, with a wide 155° opening. The nickel-plated hinge is sprung and self-closing, not an integrated BLUMOTION soft-close hinge. INSERTA secures its door-side cup without conventional cup-fixing screws. One hinge is supplied under Hart Wholesale SKU HI71T7640N.
Plan the shared-panel door path
Dual describes doors on opposite sides of the same partition, each covering part of the shared panel; it does not mean two hinges in the pack. The final gaps depend on mounting-plate height, cup position, front thickness and cabinet geometry. Do not assume that the zero-protrusion geometry sometimes associated with full-overlay 155° hinges guarantees inner-drawer clearance in this half-overlay installation. Check the exact Blum fitting plan before machining or specifying pull-outs.
INSERTA fixing and separate cabinet plate
The existing record identifies a 35 mm INSERTA hinge cup. The door must have the complete drillings for the exact part; a cup hole alone or a screw-on pattern is not an interchangeable substitute. The arm uses a CLIP connection to a compatible cabinet mounting plate. Select that plate independently from the Blum CLIP mounting plates range, using the shared-panel dimensions and required fixing method.
Sprung closing without built-in damping
The hinge’s spring pulls the door towards closed. It does not have integrated BLUMOTION damping. For an alternative with integrated soft close, assess the 71B7650 half-overlay hinge against its distinct door-fixing method and cabinet plan before substituting it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the 71T7640N an integrated BLUMOTION hinge?
No. It is a sprung self-closing hinge without built-in damping.
What does dual or half-overlay mean?
Two doors share a central partition, each covering part of that panel. One hinge is supplied in this listing.
What does INSERTA refer to?
It is the tool-free door-side cup fixing for correctly prepared drillings, not the cabinet-side mounting plate.
Is a mounting plate included?
No. Choose and purchase a compatible CLIP plate separately.
Will this half-overlay hinge always clear an inner drawer?
No. Confirm the complete door movement and cabinet clearance in the exact installation.
Can the fitted door be detached from the plate?
Yes. The CLIP connection allows the arm to be released from its compatible plate without removing the INSERTA cup from the door.
