PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Blum CLIP top BLUMOTION 110° Full Overlay Hinge (71B3550)

The Blum 71B3550 is the industry-standard choice for high-quality, soft-closing kitchen cabinet doors. Featuring a nickel-plated steel finish, this concealed full overlay hinge combines a classic aesthetic with Blum's legendary mechanical durability, making it the top choice for professional kitchen fitters and trade joiners across the UK.

The 35mm steel hinge cup is secured to the cabinet door using conventional screw fixing, making this version particularly suitable for replacement work, one-off furniture production and installations where a standard 45mm screw-hole pattern is already present.

Once connected to a compatible Blum CLIP mounting plate, the door can be attached or removed from the cabinet without tools. Side, depth and height adjustment allow accurate door alignment after fitting.

Advanced BLUMOTION Dampening

The integrated BLUMOTION soft-close mechanism is built directly into the hinge cup — no separate adapter required. If you are installing lighter doors, the soft-close feature can be manually switched off on individual hinges to prevent the door from closing too slowly.

Installation options

This model uses a standard screw-on cup configuration. If your cabinet doors feature pre-drilled 8mm holes for rapid factory assembly, see the Blum 71B3580 110° knock-in hinge. For tool-free cup installation, see the Blum 71B3590 INSERTA hinge.

For flawless mounting, pair this hinge with a compatible Blum cruciform mounting plate.

Integrated BLUMOTION soft closing

BLUMOTION is built directly into the hinge cup and provides smooth, controlled closing regardless of how firmly the cabinet door is pushed. No separate soft-close adapter is required.

The BLUMOTION mechanism can be deactivated on an individual hinge. This can be useful on small or lightweight doors where fewer damped hinges may provide the best closing action.

Screw-on cup installation

The hinge requires a 35mm cup drilling approximately 13mm deep. The two screw-fixing positions are arranged on 45mm centres, with the fixing-hole line offset 9.5mm from the centre of the hinge-cup drilling.

The screw-on system is a practical choice for replacement hinges and workshop installation because it does not require the 8mm dowel holes used by knock-in and INSERTA versions.

Mounting plate required

This product is supplied as one hinge. A compatible Blum CLIP cabinet-side mounting plate is required and must be purchased separately.

A commonly used option is the Blum HI173710 0mm cruciform cam mounting plate. The correct mounting-plate height depends on the required door overlay and cabinet construction.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Blum 71B3550 have integrated soft close?

Yes. BLUMOTION is integrated into the hinge, so no separate soft-close adapter is required.

Can the BLUMOTION mechanism be switched off?

Yes. The soft-close function can be deactivated on individual hinges when less damping is needed.

What does overlay application mean?

Overlay means the closed cabinet door sits in front of and covers the cabinet side panel. The final overlay depends on the drilling distance and mounting-plate height.

What size hinge-cup hole is required?

The hinge requires a 35mm cup hole with a drilling depth of approximately 13mm.

Are hinge-cup fixing screws included?

The product is supplied as one hinge. Select appropriate fixing screws for the door material where required.

Is the cabinet mounting plate included?

No. A compatible Blum CLIP mounting plate must be ordered separately.

Can the opening angle be restricted?

Yes. The Blum 70T3553 opening-angle stop reduces the opening angle from 110° to approximately 86°.
