Blum CLIP top 120° Full-Overlay Sprung INSERTA Hinge – 71T5590B

The Blum 71T5590B CLIP top hinge is a sprung, straight-arm concealed cabinet hinge for full-overlay doors. It combines a wider 120° opening angle with Blum's tool-free INSERTA cup fixing and CLIP mounting-plate connection.

Discontinued by Blum — available while stocks last

Blum has discontinued this 120° hinge range, but Hart Wholesale still holds genuine Blum stock. It is particularly valuable when replacing damaged hinges in existing kitchens, cabinets and fitted furniture originally designed around Blum's 120° hinge geometry.

Availability is limited to the remaining stock and this hinge will not be replenished after it has sold out.

Opens wider than current standard hinges

This hinge opens to 120°—10° wider than the 110° hinges commonly used across Blum's current standard range. The additional movement allows the cabinet door to swing farther out of the way, giving clearer and more convenient access to the cabinet interior.

Full-overlay application

The straight hinge arm is intended for full-overlay cabinet doors, where the closed door covers most of the cabinet side panel. It should not be confused with the half-cranked 71T5690B dual or half-overlay hinge.

When replacing an existing hinge, check that 71T5590B is stamped on the original component and compare the complete fixing arrangement before ordering.

Tool-free INSERTA fixing

Blum's INSERTA system secures the 35mm hinge cup into the correctly prepared door holes without conventional cup-fixing screws. Closing the integrated lever locks the hinge firmly into place.

The CLIP connection also allows the door to be attached to or removed from a compatible mounting plate without tools, making installation and adjustment faster.

Sprung self-closing action

The 71T5590B contains a closing spring that pulls the cabinet door into its closed position. It is self-closing but does not contain integrated BLUMOTION soft close.

Where suitable, soft closing can be added using the Blum 973A0500 overlay clip-on BLUMOTION damper.

Product specifications

For unusually thick fronts, check the relevant planning dimensions and complete a trial installation before production fitting.

Mounting plate required

A compatible Blum CLIP top mounting plate is required and must be ordered separately. The correct mounting-plate height depends on the required overlay, cabinet construction and drilling position.

For the unsprung version with the same full-overlay INSERTA fixing, see the Blum 70T5590BTL 120° unsprung hinge.

Frequently Asked Questions

Has Blum discontinued the 71T5590B hinge?

Yes. Blum has discontinued this 120° hinge range. Hart Wholesale still has genuine remaining stock, but availability is limited and the product will not be replenished after it sells out.

How is this 120° hinge different from a current 110° hinge?

The 71T5590B opens 10° wider. This moves the cabinet door farther out of the way and provides clearer access to the cabinet interior.

Is the 71T5590B a full-overlay hinge?

Yes. It has a straight hinge arm for full-overlay cabinet doors. It is not the half-cranked version used when two doors share a central cabinet partition.

Does this hinge have soft close?

No. The hinge is sprung and self-closing, but it does not contain integrated BLUMOTION. Compatible installations may be fitted with a separate Blum 973A0500 overlay damper.

What does INSERTA mean?

INSERTA is Blum's tool-free hinge-cup fixing system. The hinge locks into the correctly drilled door holes using its integrated lever rather than conventional cup-fixing screws.

Is the mounting plate included?

No. This listing is for one hinge only. A compatible Blum CLIP mounting plate must be selected and ordered separately.

Can this directly replace an existing Blum 71T5590B hinge?

Yes, provided the original hinge is marked 71T5590B and the existing drilling and mounting-plate arrangement remain suitable. Compare the complete part number before ordering.
