Blum 71B9690 CLIP top BLUMOTION 95° dual/half-overlay INSERTA hinge – Onyx Black

The Blum 71B9690 is a specialist concealed hinge for dual or half-overlay applications involving profile or thick cabinet doors. Its 95° opening angle provides controlled movement where door thickness, edge profiles or adjoining fronts make a standard hinge unsuitable.

The Onyx Black finish coordinates with dark cabinetry and contemporary furniture interiors. Integrated BLUMOTION provides controlled closing, and the damping function can be deactivated on individual hinges when less resistance is required.

Dual and half-overlay planning

A half-overlay hinge is used where two doors share the same central cabinet panel. Each door covers part of the panel edge when closed, so mounting-plate height and cabinet drilling positions must be selected for the required overlay, reveal and door clearance.

Door thickness alone does not confirm suitability. Check the cup position, edge profile, corner radius, required gap and complete 95° opening movement before drilling. A trial installation is recommended for unusually thick doors or deep decorative profiles.

Tool-free INSERTA installation

INSERTA is Blum’s tool-free method of securing the hinge cup to the cabinet door. The cup locks into correctly prepared fixing holes without conventional cup-fixing screws.

The INSERTA fixing applies to the hinge-to-door connection. A compatible Blum CLIP mounting plate is still required on the cabinet and must be selected separately for the required overlay and cabinet construction.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a dual or half-overlay hinge?

It is used when two doors share a central cabinet panel. The hinge arm positions each door so that it covers only part of the panel edge.

Is the mounting plate included?

No. This product is supplied as one hinge. A compatible Blum CLIP mounting plate must be ordered separately.

What does INSERTA mean?

INSERTA is Blum’s tool-free method of securing the hinge cup to the cabinet door. It does not describe the mounting plate.

Does this hinge have soft close?

Yes. BLUMOTION soft close is integrated into the hinge and can be switched off when required.

Is this hinge suitable for thick cabinet doors?

It is designed for profile and thick-door applications. Final suitability depends on the door thickness, edge profile, drilling position, required gap and mounting-plate height.

How do I confirm this is the correct replacement?

Compare the manufacturer number 71B9690 and confirm the existing hinge has a 95° opening angle, dual/half-overlay configuration, INSERTA cup fixing and Onyx Black finish.

Is one hinge supplied?

Yes. This listing is for one hinge. The mounting plate is not included.
