PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Blum 71T6640B CLIP top 170° Half-Overlay INSERTA Hinge

Two cabinet doors share a central partition in a dual or half-overlay layout. The cranked arm of the Blum 71T6640B positions each door to cover part of that panel while allowing a wide 170° opening. This nickel-plated CLIP top hinge is sprung and has tool-free INSERTA door-side cup fixing. Dual describes the door layout, not the pack size: one purchase supplies one hinge.

Plan a shared-panel wide opening

The final overlay and clearance depend on door thickness, cup location, cabinet construction, mounting-plate height and hinge adjustment. A 170° opening is not automatically a zero-protrusion path; check neighbouring fronts, handles and internal pull-outs against the full Blum planning diagram. Do not treat this half-overlay hinge as an inset hinge merely by substituting a different plate.

INSERTA cup, separate CLIP mounting plate

Its recorded specification lists a 35 mm cup, two 8 mm INSERTA fixing holes on 45 mm centres, an 11 mm cup drilling depth and 3–8 mm drilling distance. Confirm the complete 71T6640B drilling plan before preparing a door. INSERTA is a tool-free door-side cup connection, not the cabinet-side fitting. Select a compatible Blum CLIP mounting plate separately to suit the shared-panel construction and intended gap.

Spring closing and optional soft-close accessory

The closing spring draws the door in, but this hinge has no integrated BLUMOTION. The existing hinge specification lists it as a version for an optional 973A-family damper. Verify the exact accessory variant and fit before ordering; a damper is not supplied with the hinge.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does dual or half-overlay mean?

It is a shared-partition arrangement in which two doors hinge on opposite sides and each covers part of the central panel.

Does dual mean two hinges are supplied?

No. This listing is for one hinge.

Is the 71T6640B self-closing?

Yes. Its recorded closing mechanism contains a spring.

Does it have integrated soft close?

No. An appropriately matched separate clip-on damper may be used, but it is not included.

What is INSERTA?

It is the tool-free hinge-cup locking method used with a correctly prepared door drilling pattern.

Is a mounting plate included?

No. Select and order a compatible CLIP cabinet mounting plate separately.

Can this hinge simply be used for an inset door?

It is listed for dual/half-overlay use. Do not assume a different plate converts it to an inset hinge; choose the correct application using the Blum plan.
