PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Blum 71T7550 CLIP top 155° Zero-Protrusion Overlay Hinge – Screw-On Nickel
The Blum 71T7550 CLIP top hinge is a wide-opening, sprung concealed hinge designed for full-overlay cabinet doors. Its specialised zero-protrusion geometry makes it particularly suitable for cabinets containing internal drawers, pull-out shelves, storage baskets and larder fittings.
When the hinge is correctly planned and installed, the open cabinet door moves clear of the cabinet interior at approximately 90°. This allows internal pull-outs to travel forward without colliding with the back edge of the door.
Wide 155° opening
The generous 155° opening angle provides substantially wider access than a conventional 95° or 110° cabinet hinge. This makes the 71T7550 useful for kitchen larder units, pantry cabinets, bedroom storage and furniture containing internal drawers or pull-out fittings.
Optional Blum opening-angle stops can reduce the maximum opening to approximately 110° or 92° where the door must be protected from an adjacent wall, cabinet or appliance.
Standard sprung closing action
The 71T7550 contains a closing spring that pulls the cabinet door into the closed position. It does not contain integrated BLUMOTION soft close.
For the corresponding version with integrated, switchable BLUMOTION, choose the Blum 71B7550 CLIP top BLUMOTION hinge.
Screw-on hinge-cup fixing
This model uses a traditional screw-on hinge cup for secure attachment to the cabinet door. The cup is fitted into a correctly prepared 35mm boring and secured using suitable screws through the flange.
Screw-on refers to the hinge-cup fixing on the door. The separate cabinet-side mounting plate must be selected and ordered independently.

Frequently asked questions
What does zero protrusion mean?
When the hinge application is correctly planned, the open overlay door moves clear of the cabinet interior. This allows internal drawers, shelves and pull-outs to open without striking the door.
Does the 71T7550 include soft close?
No. This is a standard sprung CLIP top hinge without integrated BLUMOTION. Choose the Blum 71B7550 if integrated soft closing is required.
How far does the hinge open?
The hinge has a maximum opening angle of 155°, providing wider access than a standard 110° cabinet hinge.
Can the opening angle be restricted?
Yes. Compatible Blum opening-angle stops can reduce the opening to approximately 110° or 92°. The stops are sold separately.
Is this hinge suitable for a pull-out larder?
It is suitable for cabinets containing internal pull-outs where the door must move clear of the cabinet opening. The installation dimensions must be checked against the cabinet design.
Is the mounting plate included?
No. A compatible Blum CLIP mounting plate must be ordered separately.
What does screw-on mean?
It means that the 35mm hinge cup is secured to the back of the cabinet door using screws. It does not describe the fixing method of the separate mounting plate.
Can it be installed beside a wall?
Yes, but the door movement and handle projection must be checked carefully. Blum recommends a trial installation for overlay applications positioned against a wall.
