PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Blum 79A9458.T CLIP top +45° Type III angled hinge
The Blum 79A9458.T CLIP top hinge is engineered for +45° Type III maximum-overlay cabinet applications. Often described as a cross-corner hinge, it provides the specialist hinge-arm geometry required to position a full-overlay door correctly on angled kitchen cabinets, diagonal corner units and bespoke furniture.
A conventional straight-arm hinge cannot normally achieve the correct door position on this type of cabinet construction. The 79A9458.T is specifically cranked for maximum overlay, helping the front cover the cabinet side correctly while retaining accurate adjustment and Blum’s tool-free CLIP mounting system.
The +45° designation describes the intended cabinet and door geometry. It is not the distance through which the door opens. When installed with the appropriate mounting plate and drilling position, the hinge provides an opening angle of approximately 95°.
This legacy CLIP top version has a sprung closing mechanism, which pulls the cabinet door towards its closed position. It does not have integrated BLUMOTION damping and should not be described as an unsprung or push-to-open hinge.

Where is this hinge used?
The 79A9458.T is intended for specialist angled cabinetry, including diagonal corner units, cross-corner kitchen cabinets, angled display furniture and bespoke storage. Its maximum-overlay cranking positions the door to cover the cabinet edge in the relevant +45° Type III planning arrangement.
The hinge should not be chosen solely because a cabinet appears to have a 45° corner. Mounting plate height, spacer angle, drilling distance and the relationship between the cabinet side and door all affect the finished position.
Mounting plate selection
A mounting plate is required and must be ordered separately. Choose the appropriate plate from the Blum CLIP top mounting plate range. Some installations may also require an angled spacer or a mounting position that differs from standard cabinet drilling.
Blum recommends a trial installation when the application differs from its standard planning dimensions. Standard CLIP top and CLIP top BLUMOTION hinges should not be mixed on the same cabinet door.
Need a soft-close version?
For integrated soft close, consider the Blum 79B9458 +45° Type III BLUMOTION hinge. Check the complete application and replace every hinge on the door with the corresponding BLUMOTION version.
