Blum 71B7690 CLIP top BLUMOTION 155° Half-Overlay INSERTA Hinge

The Blum 71B7690 is a wide-opening 155° hinge for a dual or half-overlay cabinet application, where two doors share a central partition. Integrated BLUMOTION provides controlled soft closing, while INSERTA secures the hinge to a properly drilled door without conventional cup-fixing screws. One hinge is supplied; a compatible cabinet-side Blum CLIP mounting plate is purchased separately.

Plan the door and fixing

INSERTA is the fixing system on the hinge cup, not a separate back plate. Prepare the door for the complete INSERTA drilling pattern and use the CLIP connection to attach the hinge arm to the correct cabinet-side plate. The half-overlay layout, door thickness, drilling distance and plate position determine the finished gaps and clearance. The listing describes zero-protrusion geometry, but the path of an internal drawer or pull-out must be checked in the actual half-overlay cabinet; do not assume full-overlay clearance applies automatically.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a half-overlay application?

Two doors share a central partition, each covering part of the same panel. It does not mean two hinges are supplied.

Does INSERTA include the mounting plate?

No. INSERTA fixes the hinge cup to the prepared door. The compatible cabinet-side Blum CLIP mounting plate is separate.

Will an internal pull-out clear the door?

That depends on the actual half-overlay cabinet, plate and pull-out layout. Check the open door path with a trial fitting.

Does it include soft close?

Yes. The listing identifies integrated BLUMOTION soft closing.

How does it differ from 71B7650?

Both are 155° half-overlay BLUMOTION hinges, but 71B7690 uses INSERTA cup fixing and 71B7650 uses a screw-on cup.
