BLUMOTION soft close

BLUMOTION is built into the hinge cup and slows the door during the final stage of closing for smooth, quiet movement. The damping function can be deactivated on individual hinges where less closing resistance is required.

Planning and fitting

The screw-on hinge cup requires a 35 mm bore approximately 13 mm deep, with two screw-fixing positions on 45 mm centres. Unlike INSERTA and knock-in hinges, this version does not require separate 8 mm dowel holes. Select suitable fixing screws for the door material and thickness.

A compatible Blum CLIP mounting plate is required and must be ordered separately. Plate height depends on the cabinet construction, drilling distance and required door overlay.

For tool-free cup installation, compare the Blum 71B3590 overlay INSERTA hinge. For pressed-in dowel fitting, see the Blum 71B3580 overlay knock-in hinge. For the verified nickel counterpart, see the Blum 71B3550 full-overlay screw-on hinge.

Matching components

The hinge is supplied individually. Select the mounting plate according to the required overlay and cabinet construction. Do not mix standard CLIP top and CLIP top BLUMOTION hinges on the same door unless the complete arrangement has been specifically planned.
