PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Blum 71T7640N CLIP top 155° Dual Sprung INSERTA Hinge
The Blum 71T7640N is a wide-angle CLIP top cabinet hinge for dual or half-overlay applications. Its half-cranked hinge arm is designed for installations where two cabinet doors share the same central cabinet partition.
The 155° opening provides greater access than a conventional 110° hinge. This version is sprung for self-closing action but does not contain integrated BLUMOTION soft closing.
INSERTA provides tool-free installation of the hinge boss into a correctly drilled door. The hinge then clips onto a compatible Blum CLIP mounting plate, allowing the door to be attached and removed without tools.

Installation guidance
A compatible Blum CLIP mounting plate must be ordered separately. The mounting-plate height, cup position, door thickness and cabinet geometry determine the final overlay and clearance.
Blum’s zero-protrusion designation applies specifically to the full-overlay configuration in this hinge family. Obstruction-free access to internal drawers or pull-outs should therefore not be assumed for this dual/half-overlay version without checking the completed application.
Browse our Blum INSERTA hinges. If integrated soft closing is required, consider the Blum 71B7650 dual 155° BLUMOTION hinge, noting that it uses a screw-on hinge boss.
Frequently asked questions
Is the 71T7640N a BLUMOTION soft-close hinge?
No. It is a sprung CLIP top hinge with self-closing action, but it does not contain integrated BLUMOTION.
What does dual or half overlay mean?
It means the hinge is intended for two doors sharing a central cabinet partition. Each door overlays part of the same panel.
What does INSERTA mean?
INSERTA is Blum’s tool-free method for securing the hinge boss into a correctly drilled cabinet door. It does not refer to the separate cabinet mounting plate.
Is the mounting plate included?
No. One hinge is supplied and a compatible Blum CLIP mounting plate must be ordered separately.
Is this a zero-protrusion hinge?
Blum specifies zero-protrusion performance for the full-overlay application within the 155° range. Clearance should not be assumed automatically for this dual/half-overlay configuration.
Can the door be removed without tools?
Yes. Once installed on a compatible CLIP mounting plate, the hinge can be clipped on and released without tools.
Is this hinge still in Blum’s current range?
The exact 71T7640N configuration is not shown in Blum’s current UK order table. Check existing drilling and application details carefully when purchasing it as a replacement.
