PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Blum 71B970A CLIP top BLUMOTION Aluminium-Frame Hinge – 95° Inset
The Blum 71B970A is a nickel-plated concealed hinge for narrow aluminium-profile cabinet doors in an inset application. The closed door sits inside the cabinet opening, leaving an even visible margin. Its sprung, self-closing action and integrated, individually switchable BLUMOTION give the door a controlled close.
Key features
- Blum article 71B970A; Hart Wholesale SKU HI71B970A.
- 95° inset hinge for prepared narrow aluminium-profile doors.
- Shaped screw-on boss with fixing screws included, according to the existing listing.
- Tool-free CLIP connection to a compatible cabinet-side mounting plate, sold separately.
- Three-dimensional door adjustment and spiral-screw depth adjustment.
- Nickel-plated finish; one hinge supplied.
Plan the frame and fitting
This shaped boss fits a correctly prepared aluminium door profile, not a conventional round 35 mm hinge cup in a timber or MDF door. Check the frame width and thickness, routing dimensions, desired inset gap and mounting-plate position against current Blum planning information before machining. A trial fitting is sensible with a new profile. Secure the boss to the prepared frame with the supplied fixing screws, then clip the hinge arm to a separately selected compatible mounting plate. Adjust the installed door in three dimensions to refine its margins.
Explore Blum CLIP top mounting plates and the CLIP top hinge range. For a different door position, compare the 71B950A overlay hinge and 71B960A half-overlay hinge. The 71T970A inset hinge is an alternative without integrated BLUMOTION. Confirm the exact application and compatibility before substituting parts.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is BLUMOTION included?
Yes. Soft close is integrated into the hinge arm and can be switched off on an individual hinge.
Can this fit a wooden or MDF door?
No. It is designed for a narrow aluminium-profile frame with a shaped screw-on boss, not a standard 35 mm hinge cup.
What does inset application mean?
The door closes within the cabinet opening rather than covering its sides.
Is the cabinet mounting plate included?
No. Select a compatible Blum CLIP mounting plate separately.
Are boss fixing screws included?
The existing product listing states that the boss fixing screws are supplied. Check the received components and fitting guidance before installation.
How does it differ from 71T970A?
71B970A has integrated, switchable BLUMOTION; the 71T970A inset aluminium-frame hinge does not have integrated BLUMOTION.
Is this supplied as a pair?
No. This listing is for one hinge.
