PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Blum CLIP 100° Overlay Knock-In Hinge HI71M258
This nickel-plated steel Blum CLIP hinge opens to 100° for an overlay cabinet door. Its built-in spring provides a self-closing action, not integrated BLUMOTION soft close. The 35 mm cup has press-in fixing dowels for a correctly prepared three-hole door boring; use suitable insertion equipment rather than striking the hinge directly. The hinge arm clips to a separately chosen compatible Blum cabinet mounting plate for tool-free door removal.
Key features and fitting
- Hart Wholesale SKU HI71M258; 100° overlay, sprung knock-in hinge.
- 35 mm cup and 8 mm fixing holes on 45 mm centres with 9.5 mm offset; stated cup drilling depth 10.5 mm.
- Stated door drilling distance 3–6 mm; check current Blum planning data and trial-fit before production boring.
- Nickel-plated steel, one hinge supplied; cabinet mounting plate separate.
- Side adjustment ±2 mm and depth adjustment +3/−1 mm; height depends on plate choice.
The closed overlay door covers the cabinet side. Knock-in describes the press-in cup-to-door fixing, not the CLIP connection to the cabinet plate, and is different from screw-on or INSERTA fixing. Choose mounting-plate height and fixing method for the required door position from Blum CLIP mounting plates. Compare the HI71M255 screw-on overlay hinge if a different cup fixing is required; do not assume identical drilling. Browse Blum CLIP hinges for other door applications.
