PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Blum 71B3690 CLIP top BLUMOTION 110° Half-Overlay INSERTA Hinge
The Blum 71B3690 is a nickel-plated, sprung soft-close hinge for dual or half-overlay cabinet doors. Its half-cranked arm is designed for two doors sharing a central cabinet partition, each covering part of that panel. Integrated BLUMOTION gives controlled closing and can be switched off on an individual hinge when less damping is needed.
This version uses tool-free INSERTA cup fixing. Its 35 mm hinge cup and expanding fittings lock into a correctly prepared door without conventional cup screws. The CLIP hinge arm attaches to a compatible cabinet-side mounting plate without tools, allowing the complete door to be removed without releasing the cup. One hinge is supplied; the mounting plate is sold separately.
Key features and fitting

- 110° opening, half-cranked arm for dual / half-overlay applications.
- Sprung self-closing action with integrated, switchable BLUMOTION.
- Tool-free INSERTA cup fixing: 35 mm cup bore approximately 13 mm deep, plus two 8 mm fixing holes on 45 mm centres.

INSERTA requires the complete cup and fixing-hole drilling pattern, not a plain 35 mm bore. Choose plate height and drilling distance to suit the panel thickness, door thickness and desired overlay, and test the arrangement before drilling multiple doors. Browse Blum CLIP top mounting plates or compare CLIP top hinges. The 71B3590 is a full-overlay INSERTA hinge, not a direct half-overlay substitute.
