PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Blum 71B9590 CLIP top BLUMOTION 95° Overlay INSERTA Hinge
The Blum 71B9590 is a sprung, nickel-plated hinge for compatible thick and profiled cabinet doors in an overlay application. Its straight arm positions the closed door in front of the cabinet side, while integrated BLUMOTION provides controlled soft closing. The 95° opening suits cabinets where a wider door movement is not wanted.
Tool-free cup fixing, accurate drilling
INSERTA secures the hinge cup to a correctly drilled door without conventional cup-fixing screws. Prepare the 35 mm cup bore and two 8 mm fixing holes on 45 mm centres according to the existing product specification; INSERTA does not mean no drilling. The hinge arm attaches without tools to a separately purchased compatible Blum CLIP mounting plate. This is a profiled/thick-door cup hinge, not a shaped aluminium-frame boss.
- Blum part 71B9590; Hart SKU HI71B9590.
- 95° overlay application for compatible thick and profiled fronts.
- Sprung self-closing action with integrated, individually switchable BLUMOTION.
- Tool-free INSERTA 35 mm cup fixing; existing specification lists 13 mm drilling depth, 9.5 mm fixing-hole offset and 3–7 mm cup drilling distance.
- Nickel-plated steel; one hinge supplied, mounting plate not included.
Plan the precise overlay, cabinet construction, door thickness and edge shape, cup drilling distance, plate height and clearance before machining. The current listing describes a possible front-thickness range around 16–32 mm, but fit depends on the front profile and installation geometry; trial-fit rather than treating the upper figure as a guarantee. Browse Blum CLIP top mounting plates and the CLIP top hinge range. For different door positions, compare the active 71B9690 half-overlay INSERTA hinge or 71B9790 inset INSERTA hinge. These applications require different planning.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an overlay hinge?
It positions the closed door over the cabinet side. The exact overlay depends on hinge geometry, drilling and plate height.
Is this suitable for thick doors?
It is designed for compatible thick or profiled fronts, but the door profile and opening clearance must be checked for each installation.
Is this only for aluminium-framed doors?
No. It uses an INSERTA hinge cup for a correctly drilled furniture door, not the shaped boss of a narrow aluminium-frame hinge.
What does INSERTA mean?
It is the tool-free fixing of the hinge cup into prepared door holes, not the cabinet mounting plate.
Is a mounting plate included?
No. Choose a compatible cabinet-side Blum CLIP mounting plate separately.
Can BLUMOTION be switched off?
Yes. The integrated damping can be deactivated on an individual hinge.
