PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Blum 71T6580 CLIP top 170° Overlay Knock-In Hinge
Give a full-overlay cabinet door a wide opening with the Blum 71T6580 CLIP top hinge. Its 170° motion suits planned wide cupboards and appropriate corner-cabinet layouts where a conventional 110° opening would restrict access. This nickel-plated hinge is sprung and self-closing, with a knock-in cup for a correctly prepared door. Hart Wholesale SKU HI71T6580; one hinge per purchase.
Knock-in door fixing, not INSERTA
The cup and fixing dowels are pressed into the prepared door using suitable insertion equipment. This is a knock-in version, not a screw-on or INSERTA cup; those methods require different installation steps. Its existing specification records a 35 mm cup, two 8 mm fixing holes at 45 mm centres, 11 mm cup drilling depth and a 3–8 mm drilling distance. Verify the complete 71T6580 drilling plan and suitability for the particular door before machining. The hinge arm attaches to a compatible cabinet-side CLIP mounting plate, which must be selected and ordered separately.
Plan door swing and closing
A wide 170° opening does not automatically deliver a zero-protrusion door path. If internal drawers or pull-outs need to pass the open door, check clearance for its thickness, handle, adjacent fronts and the cabinet layout against the Blum planning diagram. The spring helps draw the door closed; BLUMOTION is not integrated. The existing product data describes an optional separate clip-on damper; verify its exact variant and suitability before adding it. Do not assume a fixed maximum door thickness or a universal 130° restrictor without checking the actual combination.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the 71T6580 sprung?
Yes. Its closing mechanism includes a spring that draws the door towards closed.
Does this hinge include integrated soft close?
No. A suitable separate damper may be an option, but its exact compatibility must be checked before purchase.
What does knock-in fixing mean?
The cup’s dowels are pressed into a correctly prepared cabinet door using appropriate insertion equipment; it is not the same as INSERTA.
Is a 170° hinge automatically zero-protrusion?
No. Check the actual door path before combining it with internal drawers or pull-outs.
Is the mounting plate included?
No. This listing supplies one hinge; choose and order a compatible CLIP plate separately.
Can the door be removed without releasing its knock-in cup?
Yes. The CLIP arm can be detached from the cabinet mounting plate while leaving the door-side cup installed.
