PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Blum 71B9580 CLIP top BLUMOTION 95° Overlay Knock-In Hinge – Onyx Black
The Blum 71B9580 is a 95° CLIP top BLUMOTION overlay hinge designed for thick and profiled cabinet doors. Its straight hinge arm positions the closed door over the cabinet side panel, while the controlled opening angle makes it suitable for installations where a wider-opening hinge is unnecessary or could cause interference.
This version combines integrated BLUMOTION soft closing with a knock-in hinge cup and pre-fitted fixing dowels. The knock-in format is particularly suitable for repeat workshop and production assembly using correctly prepared drilling and appropriate insertion equipment.
The complete hinge has Blum's contemporary Onyx Black finish, allowing it to coordinate with dark cabinetry, black mounting plates and matching cover caps.

Overlay-door application
An overlay hinge positions the closed cabinet door over the front edge of the cabinet side panel. It is commonly searched for as a full-overlay hinge, although the finished overlay dimension depends on the cup drilling distance and selected mounting-plate height.
The door thickness, edge profile, cup position, cabinet construction and required clearance throughout the 95° opening movement must all be considered during planning.
Knock-in hinge-cup fixing
The knock-in hinge cup uses pre-fitted dowels that are pressed into two correctly drilled 8mm fixing holes beside the 35mm cup recess. This creates a repeatable fixing arrangement without separate cup-fixing screws.
Knock-in installation should be completed using suitable Blum insertion equipment or an appropriate workshop assembly method. It should not be confused with Blum's lever-operated, tool-free INSERTA fixing system.
The knock-in specification applies to the hinge-to-door connection. A separate Blum CLIP mounting plate is still required on the cabinet.

Frequently asked questions
What is a knock-in Blum hinge?
A knock-in hinge has pre-fitted fixing dowels that are pressed into correctly prepared holes in the door. This removes the need for separate hinge-cup fixing screws.
Is knock-in the same as INSERTA?
No. INSERTA uses a lever-operated, tool-free locking mechanism. A knock-in hinge uses pre-fitted dowels and normally requires suitable insertion equipment.
Is the Blum 71B9580 suitable for thick doors?
Yes. It is designed for thick and profiled fronts. Blum's planning information covers door thicknesses from approximately 16mm to 32mm, subject to the door profile and opening clearance.
Is the mounting plate included?
No. A compatible Blum CLIP mounting plate must be selected and ordered separately.
Can the BLUMOTION mechanism be deactivated?
Yes. The integrated BLUMOTION mechanism can be switched off when reduced closing resistance is required for a smaller or lightweight door.
Is this the nickel-plated version?
No. Hart stock code HIO71B9580 is finished in Onyx Black.
