PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Blum CLIP top 120° Full-Overlay Sprung Knock-In Hinge – 71T5580
The Blum 71T5580 is a genuine CLIP top concealed cabinet hinge for full-overlay doors. Its 120° opening angle gives the door 10° more movement than a typical modern 110° hinge, providing improved access to the cabinet interior.
This wider opening can be particularly useful on kitchen cabinets, furniture, corner units and replacement installations where a standard 110° hinge does not allow the door to open far enough.
Blum has discontinued this 120° hinge range, but Hart Wholesale still holds remaining genuine stock. It is especially valuable when replacing an existing 71T5580 hinge without changing the established door drilling or cabinet configuration.
Sprung self-closing action
The 71T5580 contains a closing spring that pulls the cabinet door into its closed position. It is a sprung, self-closing hinge but does not contain integrated BLUMOTION soft-close damping.
Knock-in fixing
The hinge boss uses press-in dowels rather than conventional fixing screws. It is intended for accurately pre-bored cabinet doors with a 35mm hinge-cup hole and the corresponding dowel holes.
Once installed, the CLIP mechanism allows the door to be attached to or removed from a compatible mounting plate without tools. Three-dimensional adjustment enables the door position to be aligned after installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Blum 71T5580 a soft-close hinge?
No. The 71T5580 is sprung and self-closing, but it does not have integrated BLUMOTION soft-close damping.
What is the advantage of its 120° opening angle?
It allows the cabinet door to open 10° wider than a typical 110° hinge, giving improved access to the cabinet interior.
Is this a full-overlay hinge?
Yes. The straight hinge arm is designed for full-overlay applications where the closed door covers the cabinet side panel.
What does knock-in fixing mean?
The hinge cup has press-in dowels that fit into corresponding pre-drilled holes in the door. It does not use conventional screws to secure the hinge cup.
Is the mounting plate included?
No. This listing is for one hinge only. A compatible Blum CLIP mounting plate must be purchased separately.
What drilling does this hinge require?
It requires a 35mm hinge-cup hole and the appropriate smaller holes for the press-in dowels. Existing drilling should be checked carefully before ordering a replacement.
Will it fit doors up to 24mm thick?
It can be used with doors up to 24mm thick. Blum recommends a trial installation when the door is thicker than 22mm to confirm clearance.
Has Blum discontinued the 71T5580?
Yes. This 120° hinge has been discontinued by Blum, but Hart Wholesale has remaining genuine stock available while supplies last.
