Blum’s CLIP top hinges are revolutionary concealed hinges developed specifically for use with tempered glass doors. The hinges feature a sturdy, snap-on mounting system that allows for easy installation and removal when needed. Despite their concealed design, Blum’s CLIP top hinges deliver exceptional adjustability and load-bearing capacity to ensure smooth, precise door functionality for years to come.
Concealed Strength and Mobility
A standout benefit of Blum’s CLIP top hinges is their concealed body–when the hinge is closed, all that is visible is a slim, straight edge for a clean, integrated appearance. But don’t let their subtle look fool you. Underneath the discreet exterior lies an intelligently engineered hinge offering exceptional durability and adjustment.
Constructed of high grade steel and engineered for stability, Blum’s hinges bear substantial weight loads with ease. Extensive cycle testing shows they stand up well to decades of use. Sophisticated torque and movement technology allows the hinge to swing effortlessly in perfect alignment every time.
Easy Snap-On Installation
Blum CLIP top hinges feature a patented Clip assembly for swift, straightforward mounting without special tools. The hinges utilize snap-on mounting plates secured by concealed fixings. Simply use the included 26 mm drill bit to bore holes, then insert machine screws to attach plates within the door’s pre-drilled holes or mortises. Snap hinge body onto plates for an instant mounted hinge!
Should any removal or replacement be needed down the road, de-mounting is just as simple. The hinges pop off the mounting plates easily thanks to their clever clipping mechanism.
Benefits of Blum Hinges for Glass Doors
Let’s explore key benefits that make Blum CLIP top hinges an exceptional choice for glass door installations:
Precision Alignment and Effortless Adjustment
A glass door demands exacting alignment for flawless movement and appearance. Blum hinges deliver with finely tuned adjustability along three axes (side to side, depth, and height). The X/Y/Z technology ensures any door can be tuned for perfect functionality in its unique setting.
Should any settling occur over time, readjustments are a cinch thanks to the intelligent screw system. Simply use a Pozidriv 2 screwdriver to tweak settings until realignment is complete.
Secure Mounting for Lasting Performance
Durability and security are non-negotiable for hinged glass doors. Blum’s ingeniously engineered hinges maintain their sturdy hold and smoothly swinging operation through decades of use.
The concealed mounting plates offer exceptional load-bearing capacity, easily handling 100 lbs or more when properly installed. Thorough testing shows that the ingenious CLIP mechanism maintains its firm, seamless grip on plates despite thousands of open and close cycles.
An Integrated, Minimalist Look
Blum’s clean, slim hinge profile blends in beautifully to showcase your gorgeous glass door and sleek hardware. The concealed nature prevents screws or bulky protrusions from detracting from the elegance of a frameless entryway. For a fully integrated look, optional finishing caps harmonize with your decor while hiding gaps along the hinge edge.
Enjoy peace of mind knowing the hinges’ slim silhouette still over-delivers on strength, alignment, and effortless swing. Form and function finally coexist beautifully!
