Blum CLIP top BLUMOTION Soft-Close Hinges, 110 degree, Self closing, Face Frame, with Mounting Plates (Full Overlay - 2 pack)

Soft close hinges worked perfectly on my Kohler medicine cabinet. Original ones were not soft close. Both were made by Blum and it was an easy swap out. Happy with the result.

They worked perfectly.

After 20+ years, one hinge on a cabinet failed (that is, it no longer pulled the door tightly against the frame). Using the model number stamped on the side of the hinge, I was able to identify this hinge as an update to the hinge that failed. Keeping my fingers crossed, I ordered it and am happy to say it installed perfectly using the old mounting bracket and the existing pocket on the door.The upgrade adds a "soft-close" feature which pulls to door tight to the frame over about a second... no bang.To get the soft-close functionality, you only need one hinge, so I am thinking of replacing one hinge on all my other cabinet doors.

These cabinet hinges are Blum model number 71B355-0102, and the mounts included are model number 175L660-01B22. The mount is about as low as it can be, so the cabinet door will have more overlay than a higher mount like the 175L663-01B22 which is about 3 mm taller, which moves the hinge and cabinet door away from the face frame edge where the hinge attaches.You can adjust the overlay slightly using the adjusting screw on the hinge, the one closer to the pivot pins, which will affect the angle of the door as well, or the gap between doors. The screw closer to the tail of the hinge adjusts the fore and aft position of the door so you can adjust the gap between the door and the face frame.You attach the hinge onto the mount by first hooking the hinge onto the front of the mount and then snapping the rear of the hinge onto the rear of the mount. There is a small locking tab at the rear of the hinge you can press to release the hinge body.It would be nice if an instruction sheet was included, but I think you can find instructions on line from Blum which you'll need for a new install. I used these to replace old hinge, so installation was simple. Each hinge has a small switch to turn the soft close on or off.I really like these soft close Blumotion hinges. No more banging cabinet doors!

As of this writing, the item name says "Blum CLIP top BLUMOTION Soft-Close Hinges..." However, the hinges I received and the item photo are not BLUMOTION and not soft-close. I confirmed this with Blum (the manufacturer), who could tell by the photo they were not soft-close.

These are not soft close hinges ! At least the ones I received where not ? !

better quality and lower price than HD or Lows

Not much to say about these except they are Blum homes and are the quality you would expect. I’ve installed toms of these and they are nice and have great adjustment. I’ll keep buying them as long as they keep selling them. I’ve tried the cheap ones and they just don’t compare. Pay the extra mo eh and use these. You won’t be disappointed.
