PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Blum 79A0555.T +20° Type II Unsprung Angled Hinge
The Blum 79A0555.T is a specialist CLIP top hinge for +20° Type II overlay cabinet applications. It is designed for angled or diagonal furniture constructions where the door and cabinet side meet at a positive angle rather than a conventional 90° corner.
The +20° figure describes the cabinet construction angle. The hinge itself provides an approximately 95° door-opening angle.
This is the unsprung, free-moving version with a screw-on 35mm hinge cup. It contains no self-closing spring or integrated BLUMOTION, making it suitable for correctly planned TIP-ON push-to-open cabinets.
Please note: this is not a Blum mini hinge. It uses a standard 35mm concealed hinge cup.

Understanding the +20° application
The cabinet angle and opening angle are separate measurements. The +20° specification describes the closed relationship between the door and cabinet side. Once installed, the hinge allows the door to open through approximately 95°.
Type II identifies the hinge-arm geometry used to produce the required overlay on this angled construction.
Mounting plate required
A compatible Blum CLIP mounting plate is required and sold separately. Blum's planning information includes several +20° Type II configurations, so plate spacing must be selected according to the required overlay and cabinet construction.

Installation guidance
Confirm the cabinet angle, application type, door thickness, drilling distance, mounting-plate spacing and required finished overlay before drilling. A trial installation is recommended because small changes to the construction angle can affect door positioning and clearance.
Frequently asked questions
Is this a Blum mini hinge?
No. Although the existing product title calls it a mini hinge, it uses a standard 35mm concealed hinge cup. It should be described as a +20° Type II angled hinge.
Does +20° mean the door only opens 20°?
No. The +20° figure describes the cabinet construction angle. The hinge provides an approximately 95° opening angle.
What does Type II mean?
Type II identifies the hinge-arm geometry used to produce the required overlay on the specified angled cabinet construction.
Is this hinge sprung?
No. It is an unsprung hinge and will not pull the cabinet door into the closed position.
Can it be used with TIP-ON?
Yes. Unsprung hinges can be used with a correctly selected Blum TIP-ON unit to create a mechanical push-to-open cabinet door.
Does it include BLUMOTION soft close?
No. It has no integrated soft-close mechanism. For integrated BLUMOTION, choose the Blum 79B9555 version.
What is the difference between 79A0555.T and 79A9555.T?
The 79A0555.T is unsprung and free moving. The 79A9555.T has a closing spring and provides self-closing action.
What does screw-on fixing mean?
The 35mm hinge cup is secured directly to the back of the door using suitable screws. The hinge arm attaches separately to a Blum CLIP mounting plate.
Is the mounting plate included?
No. A compatible Blum CLIP mounting plate must be ordered separately.
Is the hinge supplied as a pair?
No. This listing supplies one hinge.
