PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Blum CLIP top BLUMOTION 110° Overlay Screw-On Hinge – Onyx Black
The Blum 71B3550 CLIP top BLUMOTION hinge combines reliable concealed-hinge operation with a distinctive Onyx Black finish. Designed for standard overlay cabinet doors, it offers a versatile 110° opening angle and integrated BLUMOTION soft closing for quiet, controlled door movement.
The dark Onyx finish provides a coordinated appearance inside black, charcoal and other dark-coloured cabinets where a conventional nickel hinge would remain visible. Its 35mm steel hinge cup uses a traditional screw-on fixing, making it suitable for new installations, replacement work and bespoke furniture production.
The hinge connects to a compatible Blum CLIP mounting plate without tools. Once installed, side, depth and height adjustment allow the door position and surrounding gaps to be set accurately.

Integrated BLUMOTION soft closing
BLUMOTION is incorporated directly into the hinge and provides smooth, quiet closing without requiring a separate soft-close adapter. The mechanism controls the closing movement even when the door is pushed firmly.
BLUMOTION can be deactivated on individual hinges. This is useful on smaller or lightweight cabinet doors where fewer active dampers may produce the best closing action.
Onyx Black finish
Blum's Onyx Black finish is designed for modern dark-coloured furniture and cabinet interiors. It reduces the visual contrast normally created by a nickel-plated hinge and can be coordinated with matching Onyx Black mounting plates and cover caps.
Screw-on cup installation
The hinge requires a 35mm cup drilling approximately 13mm deep. Its two screw-fixing positions are arranged on 45mm centres, with the fixing-hole line offset 9.5mm from the centre of the cup drilling.
The screw-on system is particularly convenient for replacement work and installations where a standard screw-fixing pattern is preferred. Unlike knock-in and INSERTA hinges, it does not require 8mm dowel holes.
Mounting plate required
This product is supplied as one hinge. A compatible Blum CLIP cabinet-side mounting plate is required and must be purchased separately.
For a coordinated dark finish, choose an appropriate Onyx Black mounting plate such as the Blum HIO175H3100 0mm narrow screw-on mounting plate or the Blum HIO174H7100E 0mm cruciform EXPANDO mounting plate.

Frequently asked questions
Is HIO71B3550 the Onyx Black version of 71B3550?
Yes. It has the same 110° overlay geometry, screw-on cup and integrated BLUMOTION operation as the nickel 71B3550, but with an Onyx Black finish.
Does this hinge include integrated soft close?
Yes. BLUMOTION is integrated directly into the hinge and does not require a separate soft-close adapter.
Can BLUMOTION be switched off?
Yes. The damping mechanism can be deactivated on individual hinges when less closing resistance is required.
What does overlay application mean?
Overlay means the closed door sits in front of and covers the cabinet side panel. The final overlay depends on the cup drilling distance and mounting-plate height.
What drilling is required?
The hinge requires a 35mm cup drilling approximately 13mm deep. The two screw positions are arranged on 45mm centres.
Is the mounting plate included?
No. A compatible Blum CLIP mounting plate must be selected and purchased separately.
Can I use a nickel mounting plate?
Yes, provided it is a compatible Blum CLIP plate with the required height and fixing method. However, an Onyx Black mounting plate provides a more coordinated appearance.
