PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Blum 71T3590 CLIP Top 110° Overlay INSERTA Hinge – Nickel
The Blum 71T3590 is a sprung CLIP top concealed hinge for standard overlay cabinet doors. Its straight hinge arm provides an opening angle of 110°, making it suitable for kitchen cabinets, bedroom furniture and other fitted or freestanding cabinetry.
This version uses Blum’s INSERTA fixing system. The hinge cup locks into a correctly prepared door without conventional fixing screws, providing fast and repeatable installation during furniture production or replacement work.
The hinge is sprung to provide a self-closing action. It does not contain integrated BLUMOTION soft close. For the equivalent INSERTA hinge with built-in soft closing, choose the Blum 71B3590 CLIP top BLUMOTION hinge.

What is an INSERTA hinge?
INSERTA describes the way the hinge cup attaches to the cabinet door. Once the correct 35mm cup and two 8mm fixing holes have been drilled, the hinge is inserted into the door and secured using its locking mechanism. No separate cup-fixing screws are required.
INSERTA does not refer to the mounting plate. A compatible Blum CLIP mounting plate is still required to attach the door to the cabinet.
Sprung hinge without integrated soft close
The 71T3590 contains a closing spring that helps pull the door into its closed position. It is a standard CLIP top hinge and does not have integrated BLUMOTION.
If built-in soft closing is required, use the Blum 71B3590 overlay INSERTA hinge. Checking the complete part number is important because 71T3590 and 71B3590 have the same overlay application and INSERTA fixing but different closing mechanisms.
Choosing the correct cup fixing
Blum offers this sprung 110° overlay hinge with several door-fixing options. The 71T3550 screw-on hinge is fixed to the door using conventional screws. The 71T3580 knock-in hinge uses knock-in dowels. The 71T3590 INSERTA hinge provides tool-free hinge-cup attachment for accurately prepared doors.
Mounting plate required
The hinge clips onto a compatible Blum CLIP mounting plate, which is purchased separately. Plate height and fixing method must be selected to suit the cabinet construction and required door overlay.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Blum 71T3590 have soft close?
No. The 71T3590 is sprung and self-closing, but it does not contain integrated BLUMOTION. Choose the 71B3590 if an integrated soft-close mechanism is required.
What does INSERTA mean?
INSERTA is Blum’s tool-free hinge-cup fixing system. It secures the hinge to a correctly drilled door without conventional cup-fixing screws.
Is the mounting plate included?
No. This listing supplies one hinge only. A compatible Blum CLIP mounting plate must be ordered separately.
Is this hinge for an overlay door?
Yes. The straight hinge arm is designed for an overlay application, where the closed door covers the cabinet side.
Can the door be removed after installation?
Yes. The CLIP mechanism allows the hinge arm to be attached to or released from the mounting plate without tools.
