PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Blum CLIP top 71T970A Aluminium Frame Hinge – 95° Inset, Screw-On
The Blum CLIP top 71T970A is a precision concealed hinge designed specifically for narrow aluminium-frame cabinet doors in an inset application. The inset hinge arm positions the closed door inside the cabinet opening, producing clean, consistent margins around the front.
Its controlled 95° opening angle makes it particularly useful for display cabinets, contemporary kitchen furniture and fitted cabinetry where aluminium-framed glass or decorative doors are used.
This is a sprung, self-closing CLIP top hinge. It does not contain integrated BLUMOTION soft-close, making it suitable where a conventional closing action is required or where a compatible external damper will be fitted separately.

Installation and compatibility
The hinge connects to a compatible Blum CLIP top mounting plate, allowing the door to be attached or removed without tools. The mounting plate is selected separately to suit the required plate height and cabinet fixing method.
For a cushioned closing action, a compatible Blum BLUMOTION 973A inset soft-close damper may be fitted where appropriate.
Aluminium-frame profiles vary, so the frame dimensions and machining pattern should be checked against the Blum technical drawing before drilling or routing.
