Blum 71B7690 CLIP top BLUMOTION 155° dual/half-overlay INSERTA hinge – Onyx Black

The Blum 71B7690 is a wide-angle concealed hinge for dual or half-overlay cabinet doors, where two doors share the same central partition. Its half-cranked arm supports the required door geometry, while the 155° opening angle provides generous access to the cabinet interior.

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 dual or half-overlay application allows two cabinet doors to share the same central partition, with each door covering approximately half of the panel edge when closed. The half-cranked arm is designed for this arrangement and should not be treated as a full-overlay or inset hinge.

Clearance for drawers and pull-outs must be checked against the actual cabinet construction. Zero-protrusion performance depends on the door arrangement, door thickness, cup position, mounting-plate height and surrounding clearances.

Zero-protrusion movement

When correctly planned and fully opened, the hinge can carry the door clear of the cabinet opening. This may allow drawers, pull-out baskets and internal fittings to travel forward without striking the door, but clearance must be confirmed for the actual half-overlay installation.

Tool-free INSERTA installation

INSERTA secures the hinge cup into correctly prepared fixing holes without conventional cup-fixing screws. The hinge arm then connects to a compatible Blum CLIP mounting plate using the tool-free CLIP mechanism.

The INSERTA back plate and compatible mounting plate are selected separately. Choose the mounting-plate height and cabinet fixing method for the required dual/half-overlay position.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does dual or half overlay mean?

Does this hinge include soft close?

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

What does zero protrusion mean?

When correctly planned, the open door can move clear of the cabinet opening so internal drawers and pull-outs can pass the door. Check the clearance for the actual half-overlay construction.

What does INSERTA mean?

INSERTA is tool-free hinge-cup fixing. The cup locks into the correctly prepared door drilling without conventional fixing screws.

Is the mounting plate included?

No. The compatible Blum CLIP mounting plate and other installation components must be selected separately.
