Common Uses
Blum hardware is used in kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities, closet systems, and custom built-ins where smooth operation and long-term durability are priorities. CLIP top hinges are the standard for frameless kitchen cabinets. TANDEMBOX drawer systems handle heavy kitchen drawers (pots, dishes) with full-extension access and soft-close return.
Pro Tips
- Blum CLIP top hinges require a 35mm Forstner bit bored to approximately 12-13mm depth. Use a drill press for consistent depth across all doors in a cabinet run.
- Blum hardware is designed for the 32mm system (European cabinet construction). If retrofitting into face-frame cabinets, use Blum's face-frame adapter plates for proper alignment.
- Blum offers free online planning tools for selecting the right hinge type, opening angle, and overlay for your cabinet design.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Blum soft-close and standard hinges?
Blum BLUMOTION hinges include an integrated damper that decelerates the door in the last few degrees of closing, preventing slamming. Standard hinges have no damping. The soft-close mechanism is built into the hinge -- no separate add-on required.
Can I replace my existing hinges with Blum?
If your existing cabinets have 35mm hinge cup bores, Blum CLIP top hinges will fit directly. If not, new bores may be required. Bring your cabinet door and current hinge to your local Windsor Plywood for a fit check.
