PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Blum 79T8500 CLIP Top 60° Corner Bi-Fold Hinge
The Blum 79T8500 is a specialised 60° hinge for corner cabinets with bi-fold or pie-cut doors. It joins the two door leaves together, allowing them to fold smoothly as the corner cabinet opens.
Finished in Onyx Black, this screw-on CLIP top hinge is suitable for dark cabinetry, aluminium-framed designs and furniture where the hardware may remain visible.
The hinge incorporates a sprung self-closing mechanism. It does not have integrated BLUMOTION, although a compatible Blum 970.1002 BLUMOTION damper can be fitted separately when required.
Important installation information
The 79T8500 connects the two sections of the bi-fold door. A compatible 155° or 170° hinge is also required to attach the first door section to the cabinet.
For an Onyx Black installation, see the Blum 155° Onyx Black BLUMOTION hinge, or browse our complete Blum hinge range.
