Overview
Virtually invisible damping mechanism in the much-loved Clip Top hinge design. 3-way adjustability and clip-on ease of the original. Each hinge has a switch for turning the soft-close feature on or off. Smooth, whisper-soft closing action paired with an equally graceful appearance make the new BLUMotion hinges a standout for visual and tactile aesthetics. No more rattling glasses and banging cabinet doors and no bulky apparatus on the outside of the hinge. Switching off one hinge on smaller, lighter doors allows the same soft-close speed throughout your kitchen. Self-lubricating with a full 110° opening angle. Compatible with doors up to 1" thick. Hinges include sleek screw caps as well as hinge plates for various overlays. If existing hole is less than 13mm deep, shims are available that allow retrofitting without reboring (sold separately, #35245). Angle restriction clips (sold separately, #31075) are also available to prevent doors from colliding with adjacent walls and cabinets when opened. Due to the new hinging action of the soft-close hinge, the original Clip Tops and Soft-Close Clip Tops may not be combined in the same door.

do these hinges let the inside surface of the door and cabinet be flush when the door is open to 90 degrees, I need all the inside cabinet space and the doors must be flush or greater when open @ 90 degrees. Cabinet sides are 3/4" (actually 20mm), doors are the same?
BEST ANSWER: These hinges take up a little bit of space inside the cabinet. You need the Blum hinges that open extra wide. Thee hinges are bulky and expensive.

Will these hinges work on a frameless cabinet with 7/8" thick sides and a full overlay (7/8") door that's 5/8" thick?
BEST ANSWER: the full overlay hinges should clear the opining of the doors being 7/8" offset. I mocked up 1/8th thick to my cabinet and door hinge side and it seem to clear and open fully. Be sure to add the proper distance (1/8") to both mounting and drill locations. BUT with a 5/8" thick door my drill 32mm drill bit will just about poke through the material. Maybe file down point and clamp down doors using a drill press to avoid wondering should work.

Can I use just one Soft-Close BLUMotion hinge per door?
BEST ANSWER: The question I believe is if he can use a conventional hinge and one soft close as a pair. I did exactly that and it works fine. If you are asking to use only one hinge per door, than I agree with the other answer.

I am building a cabinet with a thick heavy door ~5.5" thick, will these hinges work, or will I need an old piano hinge?
BEST ANSWER: Since they are overlay, the the only problem with thickness might be that the door won't open completely without it hitting the cabinet. . . I would also be concerned about the weight of the door. 90 degree hinges might be a better bet if the door isn't too heavy, then you wouldn't have to worry about the outside edge of the door damaging the front of the cabinet. . .

Can I use these hinges on 1/2 thick plywood doors?
BEST ANSWER: No. The recessed hole required is to seat the hinge in the back of the door must be 11 mm deep (7/16"), which would not leave enough material in the face of the door, especially if the plywood is less than 1/2" (which almost all of it is now-a-days).

I want to retrofit my cabinets with soft close hinges. They currently have Blum E32, 9/16", 110 degree, 34.355-01.01 hinges. Is there a Blum hinge I can order that I can simply swap out without any drilling or other work?
My client changed their minds and does not want handles and wants push open instead. Can I turn off the slow close feature of these hinges and install a tip-on touch latch? It would be easier than returning the soft close hinges and buying self closing hinges instead.
Will these hinges close strong enough where these latches would close and lock? http://www.rockler.com/safe-push-touch-latches-select-size-and-color

The 3-way adjustment is a cabinetmaker's...
The 3-way adjustment is a cabinetmaker's dream. I built a simple jig to simplify hole-drilling. I also used the restrictors on two doors which open toward adjacent cabinets! A real neat trick. There were no instructions with the restrictors but you'll figure it out. I'm not crazy about the clunky appearance of concealed hinges, but they are very strong, easy to install, and practical. As I said, a cabinet-maker's dream. BTW, they're not that expensive for what you get.

Great Blum Blumotion Cabinet Hinges
I am a rank amateur cabinet builder, in the process of building 3 wall and 3 base cabinets for our breakfast nook the first cabinets I ever built.). I am retired and live in Sun City AZ. I have received some help and suggestions from my friends at the Bell Woodworking Club, including a cabinet hardware store in Phoenix where they have Chinese slow close hinges for less than 1/3 the cost of Blum 110s. I purchased the 12 pair I needed. But when I tried the first pair, I did not like them. I then went to Rockler and bought the real ones. They are great. As long as you get the large hole in the right position on the doors, they are easy to install, and work great. They are WELL worth the extra price. I plan to build some more cabinets with a new desk area in my office, and I will use Blum hinges for my 4 wall cabinets for that project also. I like the easy installation, the way the doors can be easily removed and then just snap right back on. I also like the brushed stainless steel covers over both parts of the hinges. I would highly recommend them to anyone building cabinets with doors.

This is a worthy upgrade for...
This is a worthy upgrade for kitchen cabinet doors. We always cringed when a kitchen guest carelessly shut the upper cabinet glass panelled doors, rattling the glass. I swapped out the 15 year old Blum hinges. This took about 20 minutes for the first door and will probably take half that for subsequent doors. Had to deepen the 35 mm hinge cup hole in the door by about an 1/8 inch. All mounting holes are identical to the old hinges. Works well. Also used the angle restriction clip item no. 31075 to prevent the door opening past 90 degrees.

WOW! These hinges are the best!...
WOW! These hinges are the best! I installed them on my bathroom cabinet doors, which have frosted glass panels. I was worried about the doors rattling or being loud as they shut because of the glass, but the soft-close mechanism in these hinges is phenomenal.I only have the soft-close on one of each pair of hinges activated which gives me the right combination of speed and softness as they close. This is probably because my doors are pretty small.Also, I have to say the 3-way adjust feature is a marvel. I was worried about installing these accurately, but the adjustments give you lots of wiggle room and are super easy to adjust. They were pretty expensive, but compared to everything else in my bathroom remodel, this may be my favorite purchase!

Good, rugged, smooth
I installed them on cabinet doors I was making for my wife's bookcase. I had to buy a Forstner bit to make the cavity which I had never heard of until I got the information from Rockler's help desk. The parts work well and were easy to install and line up.

Soft close simplicity
My carpenter used these hinges to attach two center opening frameless doors over some open shelves. He routed out a hand grove on the door backside to eliminate using a knob or pull. A simple, smooth, and quiet application for these hinges. I love it!

Fine hinges
These were easy to install and adjust. My doors were only 13x23 and closed too slowly with both hinges set to soft close. I followed the directions and disabled the top hinges. Works great.
