PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Blum 71B7550D CLIP top BLUMOTION 125° Hinge
The Blum 71B7550D is a specialist overlay hinge for thick, profiled or mitred cabinet doors. It combines a 125° opening with integrated, switchable BLUMOTION soft close and a conventional screw-on 35 mm cup. In a correctly planned overlay installation, its hinge geometry can keep the open door clear of the cabinet opening at 90°, helping internal drawers or pull-outs pass the hinge side. At the full 125° opening, check clearance from walls, adjacent fronts and handles separately.
Fit and plan the overlay
Prepare the 35 mm cup bore and secure the hinge to the door with suitable screws, selected for the actual door material and remaining thickness. The arm clips without tools to a separately purchased compatible Blum CLIP mounting plate. Check the door edge profile, thickness, drilling distance, plate height, required gaps and the surrounding cabinet geometry with a trial fitting before machining a full set of fronts. It is not specifically an aluminium profile-frame hinge.

Browse Blum CLIP top mounting plates and the CLIP top hinge collection. For a standard wide-angle overlay application, compare the 71B7550 155° screw-on hinge; it has different geometry, so check the door and cabinet plan rather than treating it as a direct substitute.
Frequently Asked Questions
What type of door is 71B7550D designed for?
It is intended for compatible thick, profiled and mitred overlay fronts. Suitability depends on the exact profile, drilling and clearances.
What does zero protrusion at 90° mean?
With a correctly planned overlay, the door can remain clear of the cabinet opening at 90° for inner pull-outs. This does not promise the same clearance throughout the full 125° movement.
Is BLUMOTION included?
Yes. Soft closing is integrated into the sprung hinge and can be switched off on an individual hinge.
What fixing does the hinge cup use?
The 35 mm cup is screw-on, not INSERTA or knock-in.
Is a mounting plate included?
No. Choose a compatible cabinet-side Blum CLIP plate separately.
