Cabinet hinge with soft-close feature

The Compact Clip from Blum Inc. has integrated its soft-close Blumotion feature that is available in a full range of overlays. Users can add angle restriction clips to limit the opening angle to keep doors from bumping into adjoining surfaces. With its new built-in cam height adjustment, the company says that installers will always have the maximum adjustment range without having to loosen a screw from the frame to reposition the door. Depth and side-to-side adjustments are also available, with markings stamped on the hinge near the corresponding screw. The hinge comes pre-attached to the mounting plate to make installation familiar and quick. Doors can then be easily removed by pressing down on the Clip lever and sliding forward to release from the mounting plate. According to the company, no matter how many times the hinge is removed from the mounting plate, the adjustments will remain at the factory setting.
