Understanding the 0 mm measurement

The 0 mm figure is the nominal spacing used when planning the cabinet and hinge combination. It is not the physical height of the plate. This plate has an 8.5 mm physical height, which must be considered when checking the hinge position and door overlay.

Choosing the correct mounting plate

Use a compatible CLIP top hinge and check the complete planning dimensions, including the hinge application, door overlay or inset position, plate height and adjustment range. This standard cruciform plate is screw-fixed to the cabinet side, so confirm that the cabinet construction is suitable for the countersunk chipboard screw.
