Blum hinges have been hiding out of sight since the 1980s. Each one fits easily inside the cabinet and provides for a smooth opening and gentle closing of the cabinet door. With 21st century materials and engineering,Blum's Concealed Hinges - Out of Sight, Out of Mind Articles Blum has hinges to improve any cabinet door in your home.

Once installed, Blum hinges cannot be seen. Their hardware is designed to match up with the current boring pattern used for visible hinges. Since the same boring pattern is used for Blum’s concealed ones, no one will see them or even know they are there working. You'll know however. Blum concealed hinges close neatly every time. They keep the door hanging in the correct position. New Blumotion technological advances can come installed in the hinges or even be added to existing Blum hinges.

The original Modul system offers a 3-dimensional door adjustment and a special closing mechanism with a reserve that ensures that it will remain securely closed. Even better, the assembly is simple.

The exceptional Blum’s Compact concealed hinges are specifically designed to work with face frame constructed cabinetry. It is designed for small and large overlays. Like the Modul system, it is easily assembly and adjusted. COMPACT also provides an angle restriction clip. This little device shrinks the opening angle to a manageable one for a limited space. This prevents damage to the door and the wall, cabinet or appliance that it might have knocked and scratched.

The new COMPACT BLUMOTION hinges include an integrated soft close. BLUMOTION is another Blum creation. The tiny mechanism fits in the hinge cup, and it softens the close without altering the quality of motion. It includes a hinge arm cover cap to disguise the extra adjustment screws. This stops people from accidentally slamming a cabinet door. This ensures a longer life for the cabinet door, protects the cabinet on impact and helps ensure that the cabinet's contents aren't harmed by a slamming door.

The CLIP concealed hinges are an award winning design of exceptional durability and reliability. The CLIP hinges are easily installed and adjusted. They too provide an easy, three-way adjustment. In addition, CLIP top BLUMOTION hinges provide the new soft close mechanism. This includes a deactivation switch for lighter-weight doors and a pivoting point for heavier or thicker doors.
