Choosing and fitting the plate

The 0 mm figure is the plate spacing used in Blum's hinge planning, not its physical height. Check the hinge model, cabinet drilling, required overlay and cabinet material before selecting a plate. The cam-adjustable 173H7100 differs from elongated-hole plates with ±3 mm adjustment, and from plates using system screws, knock-in dowels or EXPANDO fixings.

Blum specifies an additional fixing screw for wide-angle and zero-protrusion hinge applications; follow its planning instructions for the complete hinge-and-plate combination. Browse the Blum CLIP top mounting plates range for other heights and fixing methods.
