Blum 177H3130 CLIP top 3 mm narrow knock-in mounting plate – Onyx Black

The Blum 177H3130 is a raised narrow CLIP top mounting plate for restricted-width cabinet constructions where a standard cruciform plate may not fit. Its Onyx Black finish is suited to compatible dark cabinet hardware, and the knock-in boss provides the specified press-fit installation.

Use this plate as part of a planned CLIP top hinge installation. Check the narrow profile, nominal spacing, physical height and fixing method against the cabinet and hinge before preparing the cabinet side.

Understanding the 3 mm measurement

The 3 mm figure is the nominal spacing used when planning the compatible hinge and cabinet. It is not the physical plate height. This raised narrow plate has an 11.5 mm physical height, which must be considered when checking the hinge position and door overlay.

What knock-in fixing means

Knock-in refers to the press-fit boss used to secure the plate in a correctly prepared cabinet side without a conventional screw fixing. The cabinet must still be prepared accurately for this fixing method.

Choosing a narrow mounting plate

Use a 3 mm raised narrow knock-in plate where the cabinet planning requires this nominal height and the available space suits a narrow profile. Confirm the hinge, overlay or inset position, plate height and fixing method against the complete cabinet planning dimensions before installation.

Browse the Blum CLIP top mounting plate range and the Blum CLIP top hinge range when planning the installation.

Matching components

Pair this plate with a compatible Onyx CLIP top hinge selected for the required overlay, inset position and opening action. Check the fixing method carefully: this product is the knock-in version, not an EXPANDO mounting plate.
