PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Blum 75T1680 CLIP Top 107° Half-Overlay Knock-In Hinge
The Blum 75T1680 is a sprung CLIP top concealed hinge for dual or half-overlay cabinet doors, where two doors share the same central cabinet partition. Its 107° opening angle, shallow 11.5mm cup drilling and knock-in fixing make it suitable for kitchen cabinets, bedroom furniture and fitted cabinetry with door thicknesses from 15–24mm.
Important: this is a sprung, self-closing hinge but it does not contain integrated BLUMOTION soft close. If controlled soft closing is required, select a compatible Blum CLIP top BLUMOTION half-overlay hinge.
Dual and half-overlay application
The 9.5mm cranked hinge arm positions two cabinet doors on opposite sides of a shared centre panel. This arrangement is also described as a dual or half-overlay application.
The final door overlay and gap depend on the selected mounting-plate height, drilling distance and cabinet construction. A trial installation is recommended before drilling multiple doors.
Knock-in hinge-cup fixing
The hinge cup has pre-mounted dowels that are pressed into two accurately drilled 8mm fixing holes positioned on 45mm centres beside the main 35mm cup hole. Knock-in hinges are normally installed using suitable Blum insertion equipment or a workshop press.
Knock-in should not be confused with INSERTA. INSERTA uses an integrated locking mechanism for tool-free cup installation, whereas the 75T1680 knock-in cup is mechanically pressed into the prepared drilling pattern.
For tool-free cup fixing in the same dual application, consider the Blum 75T1690B half-overlay INSERTA hinge.
CLIP top fitting and adjustment
Once the hinge cup has been installed, Blum’s CLIP connection allows the cabinet door to be attached to or removed from a compatible mounting plate without tools. Side, depth and height adjustment enable accurate door alignment after installation.
A compatible Blum CLIP top mounting plate is required and must be ordered separately.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Blum 75T1680 have soft close?
No. It has a closing spring that pulls the door shut, but it does not contain integrated BLUMOTION damping.
What does dual or half overlay mean?
It means that two cabinet doors share the same central partition. The cranked hinge arm positions each door so that it covers approximately half of the shared panel.
Is knock-in the same as INSERTA?
No. Knock-in hinges have dowels that are mechanically pressed into prepared fixing holes. INSERTA hinges use an integrated locking mechanism for tool-free cup installation.
What drilling pattern is required?
The hinge requires a 35mm cup drilling at least 11.5mm deep, together with two 8mm dowel holes on 45mm centres. The recommended cup-drilling distance is 3–6mm.
What cabinet-door thickness is suitable?
The 75T1680 is suitable for cabinet fronts approximately 15–24mm thick. Always check the complete Blum planning dimensions for the required overlay and door profile.
Is the mounting plate included?
No. This listing is for one hinge. A compatible Blum CLIP top mounting plate must be selected and ordered separately.
Is the hinge sold individually?
Yes. The listed price is for one genuine Blum 75T1680 hinge.
