Top pick: Blum 8-pack with plates – Highest complete overlay pack: plates, screws and a damper switch stated, 4.6 from 601 reviews, at about £40.99. Best value: Blum 8-piece overlay BLUMOTION – About £27.48 for eight full-overlay hinges, about £3.44 each, with 4.5 from 1,989 reviews. Screws are not itemised. Updated 22.10.2026.
A Blum hinge on amazon.co.uk is usually a top 110° concealed hinge for a frameless kitchen door. This set also includes one sprung face-frame pack and one 60° bi-fold pair. If you are replacing hinges that slam, or hanging a run of doors, the listing has to name the crank, the plate and the screws. Stars do not show whether the plate is in the box. "8 pieces" is eight hinges, not eight pairs. How to choose the crank before you compare stars is in the [Blum hinges buying guide](/hub/diy-supplies/blum-hinges/sub/blum-hinges-buying-guide).
Blum hinges are concealed cup hinges for cupboard doors, plus two listings that do a different job. Most rows are top at 110° for frameless kitchens. One pack is a sprung face-frame hinge, model 33, at 107°, with no line. One pair is a 60° self-closing bi-fold hinge that joins two leaves. It does not replace the wide-angle hinge that holds a normal door to the carcass.
A straight-arm full-overlay hinge, the 71 and 71 family, will not inset a door. If the door covers the carcass side, an inset pack is the wrong crank. If the door sits inside the opening, a straight overlay arm is the wrong crank.

This pack lists eight 110° full-overlay BLUMOTION hinges for frameless doors at £40.99, and the bullets state four pairs, mounting plates, screws, and hinge guard plates. The rating is 4.6 from 601 reviews, and the saved listing holds 12 United Kingdom reviews among 28 headings, which is this listing’s own sample rather than a copy of the 1,989-review text. Reviewers who have fitted them talk about a soft close on kitchen doors and on a bespoke wardrobe, and about adjustment they can live with. The same small UK set mentions cover caps that pop out, and one buyer who was short two screws and received a packet from the seller within the hour. Price is the complaint that remains even among people who rate the quality: £40.99 is well above the £27.48 eight-piece in this comparison. A deactivation switch is stated, which matters on a light door. It is the top pick here when you want plates and screws written into the listing for a full-overlay run, and it is more hinge than you need for a single door.
Pros
Eight hinges stated as four pairs, plates, screws and guard plates
4.6 from 601 reviews on this listing’s own sample
Deactivation switch stated for BLUMOTION
UK reviews mention kitchen doors and a bespoke wardrobe
110° full overlay for frameless cabinets
Cons
£40.99 is the dearer full-overlay eight-pack in this set
Cover caps that pop out, in the UK reviews
Two screws missing on one arrival, later replaced by the seller
Only 12 United Kingdom reviews in a file of 28 headings
Best for: A frameless full-overlay kitchen refit where you want plates, screws and a damper switch written on the listing.
Less suitable: A single door, a carcass that already has good plates, or any inset, face-frame or bi-fold job.
Two 110° full-overlay CLIP top BLUMOTION hinges are listed at £9.68, with 35 mm cups, two CLIP cam cross plates, and chipboard screws. The rating is 4.6 from 368 reviews, and few of the first 50 in the saved listing are United Kingdom English. Reviewers who already had the right cup describe a stable soft close and one screw per adjustment direction, including on ALNO, DAN, and a mirror cabinet. A review in this set says both dampers left on make a light door close too slowly, and that you should switch one off. Chipboard screws were too small for existing IKEA holes in one review, so the holes in the hinge were opened up. Another review says the plate has wings while two photos show a straight plate, and one adjustment screw seized. A 30 kg line is on the listing and should not be read as Blum’s two-hinge door plan. The bullets say it can be combined with TIP-ON. This pair is not push-to-open. It is a complete two-hinge overlay buy when you want plates in the box, and it is still only one door.
Pros
Two full-overlay hinges with two cam plates and chipboard screws at £9.68
35 mm cup and BLUMOTION in the cup stated
4.6 from 368 reviews
Height, side and depth adjustment claimed
Cons
Both dampers left on can make a light door close too slowly
Chipboard screws too small for some IKEA holes in a review
Plate shape in photos does not match every old system
Few of the captured reviews are United Kingdom English
Best for: One full-overlay door when you want plates and chipboard screws named in the same box.
Less suitable: A multi-door kitchen on a tight budget, an inset door, or a carcass that needs the old system screws to pass through unchanged.
One 110° full-overlay 71B3550 with BLUMOTION is listed at £4.19, and the bullets state that the mounting plate, cover cap, arm cover, and screws are not included. The rating is 4.6 from 285 reviews. Many of the first 50 are not United Kingdom English. Reviewers who already had a Blum plate call it an exact replacement, including matching screw holes and stamped codes, with a clip-off lever and side adjustment of ±2 mm and depth of +3/−2 mm. Door thickness is stated up to 26 mm, with a trial fit recommended at 27 mm and above. Buyers who missed the not-included line call the description misleading, because the hinge cannot be fitted to a bare carcass. The manufacturer cell says Heze, so do not claim this unit was made in Austria. Weight is 67.9 g. It is a replacement onto a plate you already own, not the best value for a first hinge on an empty side panel, even though the star line is high.
Pros
Single full-overlay 71B3550 with BLUMOTION at £4.19
4.6 from 285 reviews for a like-for-like swap onto an old plate
Door thickness stated up to 26 mm, trial fit from 27 mm
Side ±2 mm and depth +3/−2 mm in the specification lines
Cons
Plate, cover cap, arm cover and screws are explicitly not included
Unusable on a bare carcass
Manufacturer cell says Heze, not a stated Austrian origin
Many captured reviews are not United Kingdom English
Best for: Replacing a failed full-overlay hinge when a Blum plate is already screwed to the carcass.
Less suitable: A new cabinet with no plate, or anyone who reads £4.19 as a complete hinge kit.
This eight-piece pack is listed at £27.48 on amazon.co.uk for 110° full-overlay CLIP top BLUMOTION hinges, with 4.5 from 1,989 reviews in the file. The model line names mounting plate 173L8100, and UK reviewers describe a quiet close on kitchen doors once the cup clips on, without a separate piggy-back damper. At about £3.44 a hinge it is the lowest unit price among the full-overlay multi-packs captured on 19 October 2026. The bullets say eight pieces, and reviews include buyers who read that as eight pairs, so four doors is the realistic count if you use two hinges on each. Plate slots are a repeated complaint: old fat system screws often will not pass through, and one order of four packs arrived with 30 screws instead of 32. Screws are not itemised in the bullets at all. It is the best value in this set when you want eight overlay hinges and can sort the screws, though it is a weaker buy if you need a counted screw pack and guard plates written on the listing.
Pros
Eight 110° full-overlay hinges at £27.48
Integrated BLUMOTION, with a deactivation option mentioned in the bullets
Largest review sample here: 4.5 from 1,989
Plate 173L8100 named on the model line
Reviewers describe clip-on fitting without an add-on damper
Cons
"8 pieces" is eight hinges, not eight pairs
Plate slots too narrow for old system screws in reviews
Screw counts come up short, and screws are not itemised
Cup flange holes can sit slightly further out than older hinges
Best for: A frameless full-overlay kitchen where you want eight hinges at the lowest price per hinge in this comparison.
Less suitable: Inset doors, face-frame cabinets, a bi-fold leaf, or a carcass that still uses fat system screws you will not replace.
Does this eight-piece pack include a mounting plate?
The model line is written as 71B3550 + 173L8100, and the bullets mention height adjustment with a mounting plate. Screws are not itemised in the bullets.
Is the soft close built in?
The bullets say CLIP top BLUMOTION with built-in soft close and a deactivation option. Reviews describe a quiet close without a separate damper.
Are these eight pairs?
The listing says 8 pieces and a package quantity of 8. Reviews include buyers who read that as eight pairs.
The listing is a pair of 110° full-overlay CLIP top BLUMOTION hinges at £8.69, model 71MB3550, and the included-components line names mounting plates and screws. The star line is 4.5 from 1,989 reviews, but the captured review text is the same United Kingdom sample as the eight-piece listing, including comments about an eight-piece pack at about £27. Treat that figure as one sample, not a second set of 1,989 opinions about this pair. Plate height is not given, and the origin field says Poland while the title says Austria, so you should not assume every hinge in the parcel was made in Austria. Weight is listed at 184 g. The bullets mention a deactivation option and three-dimensional adjustment, which matches the overlay family, yet no review in this file clearly describes this pair on its own. Buy it only if you need two hinges and you check the box for plates on arrival, not because the star count proves this smaller pack.
Pros
Pair of 110° full-overlay BLUMOTION hinges at £8.69
Included components name plates and mounting screws
Deactivation option mentioned in the bullets
Nickel-plated alloy steel, listed weight 184 g
Cons
The 1,989 reviews repeat the eight-piece listing’s text
Plate height is not stated
Origin field says Poland while the title says Austria
No review in this file clearly describes this pair alone
Best for: One full-overlay door when you want a pair and will check that plates are actually in the box.
Less suitable: Anyone treating the 1,989 stars as proof of this pair, or a kitchen that needs eight hinges with a known plate height.
Included components say mounting screws and plates. The plate height is not given.
Can the damper be switched off?
The bullets say integrated BLUMOTION with a deactivation option. No millimetre door limit is in this file.
Are the 1,989 reviews only for this pair?
The captured review text matches the eight-piece listing, including comments about an eight-piece pack. Treat it as the same sample, not a second set of 1,989 reviews.
This pair of 60° screw-on self-closing bi-fold hinges is listed at £19.03, with a 0 mm CLIP top frameless cam plate and a black nylon cover cap. The rating is 4.5 from 509 reviews, and a large share of the first 50 in the saved listing are not headed as United Kingdom. The cup is 35 mm with a 45 mm boring pattern, and height adjustment on the cam is ±2 mm. The bullets do not say BLUMOTION. Reviews use the pair on corner-cupboard and lazy-Susan leaves, including a replacement for Blum 78m810 when the old holes matched. They also report little instruction, cut-outs that do not match the failed hinge, and one incomplete order. Another review says the recessed plate was not the same as an older hinge with the same part number. Country of origin on the file is Austria. This joins two leaves. It does not replace the wide-angle hinge that holds a normal door to the carcass.
Pros
Pair of 60° bi-fold hinges with a 0 mm cam plate at £19.03
35 mm cup and a 45 mm boring pattern stated
Black nylon cover cap and ±2 mm cam height adjustment
Reviews use them on corner and lazy-Susan leaves when holes match
Cons
No BLUMOTION line; closing is the spring only
Hole positions often do not match the old hinge
Little useful instruction, and one incomplete order in reviews
Many of the captured reviews are not headed as United Kingdom
Best for: A bi-fold or lazy-Susan leaf where the old 60° holes already match this plate.
Less suitable: A standard cupboard door that needs a 110° hinge to the carcass, or a soft-close overlay kitchen.
One 110° standard-overlay BLUMOTION hinge is listed at £4.40 with mounting plate 173L8100, and the bullets say that plate is for 18 mm cabinets. The rating is 4.5 from 209 reviews headed as reviewed in the United Kingdom. Buyers describe a soft close that stops kitchen doors banging, a finger lever to clip the door off, and a like-for-like swap on a nine-year-old Wren kitchen and on pre-drilled workshop carcasses. Screws and hinge covers are not in the bullets. Reviews report short packs, missing larger carcass screws, and covers that were advertised and did not arrive. One buyer expected pairs and received single hinges, so a door still needs a second order. A reviewer who bored the cup too shallow bent the door plate and called that their own fault, and one hinge was too large for a bathroom cabinet. It is a sensible single when the carcass is about 18 mm and you already accept that screws may not match the old holes.
Pros
Plate 173L8100 included, stated for 18 mm cabinets
4.5 from 209 reviews headed as United Kingdom
Integrated soft close and a clip-off lever in reviews
Used as a replacement on a Wren kitchen in the file
Cons
Sold as one hinge, so a door needs two orders
Screws and covers are not itemised, and reviews report short packs
Plate holes too small for existing system screws
A deeper cup than some older hinges, which bent a plate when the hole was shallow
Best for: Replacing one standard-overlay hinge on an 18 mm frameless cabinet when you can buy a second hinge for the door.
Less suitable: A whole kitchen, a door that is not about 18 mm, or a buyer who needs covers and a full screw pack in the description.
The bullets say a mounting plate for 18 mm cabinets, part 173L8100, is included with the single hinge.
Do screws come with it?
The bullets do not list screws. Reviews describe both complete packs and packs with too few or the wrong screws, and covers that were expected and missing.
Is this a pair?
The unit count is 1. A review says an order expected as pairs arrived as single hinges.
Four COMPACT face-frame hinges, model 33B355AF22, are listed at £26.95, with plates and 16 screws. They are 107°, sprung, and designed for 16–19 mm doors, with a 35 mm bore and a cup depth of 1/2 inch. The bullets do not say BLUMOTION, so do not expect the integrated damper of the 110° CLIP top packs. The rating is 4.5 from 63 reviews. Reviewers describe a stronger close than failed originals on fitted cupboards and a Sharps wardrobe, sometimes after one new screw hole. Others say the hinge was too small for the kitchen cabinet they wanted, and one review says only one hinge arrived in a pack titled as four. A reviewer returned them because the opening felt like only a quarter turn. Listed weight is 155 g. Buy this only for a face-frame cabinet in the stated door-thickness band, not as a soft-close overlay hinge for a frameless UK kitchen.
Pros
Four face-frame hinges with plates and 16 screws at £26.95
107° sprung close, 35 mm bore, 1/2 inch cup depth
Stated for 16–19 mm doors
Reviews include a Sharps wardrobe after one new screw hole
Cons
No BLUMOTION line on the listing
Too small for some kitchen cabinets in reviews
One review reports a single hinge in a four-pack
Only 63 reviews, several of them not United Kingdom English
Best for: A face-frame cupboard with 16–19 mm doors where a spring close is enough.
Less suitable: Frameless overlay or inset kitchens, or any door that needs an integrated soft-close damper.
Eight 110° inset BLUMOTION hinges for frameless doors are listed at £44.99, stated as four pairs, with plates, cover plates, and a 35 mm cup boring. The rating is 4.4 from 371 reviews, and many of the first 50 in the saved listing are not headed as United Kingdom. A deactivation switch is in the bullets. Reviewers who had the right crank describe a soft close and easy on-and-off adjustment. Several say screws were missing, and most say no fitting instructions were in the bag. One review says the listing does not spell out full crank versus half crank, and that these hinges are full crank, which matches an inset arm rather than a straight overlay arm. Buyers who needed overlay, or a different angle, returned the pack. The material cell says stainless steel and the finish cell says unfinished, so finish is not a clean quote. It is the inset eight-pack in this set when the door sits inside the opening, and it is the wrong crank if your door covers the carcass side.
Pros
Eight inset hinges stated as four pairs at £44.99
35 mm cup boring and a deactivation switch in the bullets
Plates and cover plates claimed
Soft close once the crank matches an inset door
Cons
Reviews report missing screws and no instructions
Full crank is not obvious on the listing, according to a review
Wrong part if the door is overlay
Finish cell says unfinished while the material cell says stainless steel
Best for: Frameless inset doors where you need four pairs and a 35 mm cup is already the plan.
Less suitable: Full-overlay kitchens, face-frame cabinets, or anyone who needs a counted screw pack with fitting notes in the box.
A pair of 110° inset CLIP top BLUMOTION hinges, model 71MB3750, is listed at £12.95. Included components name mounting screws and do not name a plate. The rating is 4.4 from 203 reviews, and only a minority of the 44 reviews in the saved listing are United Kingdom English. A UK reviewer used one on a heavy oak sideboard door and left the original second hinge in place. The repeated complaint is screws that were missing, loose-packed, or the wrong size, with one order receiving screws later. Another buyer could not use them because the existing cup was smaller. The title and origin field say Austria. No millimetre door-thickness limit is in this file, even though a customer question asks about thick doors. The bullets mention a deactivation option. It is the inset pair when the door sits inside the opening and you can supply a plate if the box does not contain one. It will not overlay a door that covers the carcass side.
Pros
Inset pair, 71MB3750, with integrated BLUMOTION at £12.95
Deactivation option mentioned in the bullets
Mounting screws named in included components
A UK review describes use on a heavy oak sideboard door
Cons
A mounting plate is not named in included components
Reviews often say screws were missing or the wrong size
Will not fit a cup that is already too small
Only a minority of the captured reviews are United Kingdom English
Best for: One inset door when the cup already matches and you can check the screws on arrival.
Less suitable: Full-overlay doors, or a bare carcass where you need a named plate in the same box.
This is one 71B3550 CLIP top BLUMOTION hinge at £4.49. The title says corner stop and includes mounting materials, while the bullets do not name overlay, inset, or face frame, and they do not itemise screws. The rating is 4.4 from 131 reviews. About 11 of the 46 reviews in the saved listing are English and headed as United Kingdom. The rest are not a UK sample. Those UK notes describe a soft close without a separate damper and a swap onto existing holes, including older Blum plates, once the arrow on the fixing plate points toward the door. The technical table says vinyl and unfinished, which conflicts with a steel hinge title, so do not quote the material cell. Amazon’s rank line puts it at number 1 in Butt Plates, which is not the cabinet-hinge browse node. Sold as one hinge, a door needs two orders. Use it as a single soft-close replacement only after you confirm the box actually contains a plate. The words corner stop are not evidence that this is a bi-fold or a corner-cupboard hinge.
Pros
Single 71B3550 with soft close at £4.49
UK reviews describe a swap onto existing Blum plates
Title claims mounting materials are included
Quiet close without a separate damper in the UK notes
Cons
Application is not stated beyond the words corner stop
Mounting materials are not itemised
Material cell says vinyl, which conflicts with the hinge title
Sold singly, and only about 11 UK English reviews in the file
Best for: A like-for-like 71B3550 swap when you open the box and find a plate that matches the old holes.
Less suitable: A corner cupboard, a bi-fold, or any first fit where you need overlay or inset named on the listing.
Ten 110° full-overlay CLIP top BLUMOTION hinges are listed at £39.51, with a 35 mm cup, ten CLIP cam cross plates, and chipboard screws. The rating is 4.1 from 235 reviews, and the saved listing contains only two United Kingdom reviews, both short and positive, which is too few for a fault pattern. About £3.95 a hinge puts the pack in the same entry band as the cheaper eight-piece, with two extra hinges and a cup diameter the other eight-piece does not state. A "30 kg" line appears on the listing. Blum’s planning note talks about roughly 4–6 kg on two hinges and 6–12 kg on three, so do not read 30 kg as the permitted weight of a two-hinge door. The bullets say the hinge can be combined with TIP-ON. This pack is not itself a push-to-open hinge. Choose it when you specifically want ten plates and a stated 35 mm cup, and treat the star line as thin evidence beside the 601-review eight-pack.
Pros
Ten hinges with ten CLIP cam plates and chipboard screws
35 mm cup stated on the listing
110° full-overlay BLUMOTION in the cup
About £3.95 a hinge at the £39.51 pack price
Cons
4.1 from 235 reviews, the lowest stars in this set
Only two United Kingdom reviews in the file
The 30 kg line is not Blum’s two-hinge door plan
TIP-ON is named only as a separate add-on
Best for: A full-overlay run where you want ten plates and a cup diameter printed on the listing.
Less suitable: Shoppers who need a deep UK review sample, or anyone reading 30 kg as the safe weight for two hinges.
The bullets say 10 nickel-plated full-overlay CLIP top BLUMOTION hinges, 10 CLIP cam cross mounting plates and chipboard screws. The cup is given as 35 mm.
Is this a TIP-ON pack?
The bullets say the hinge can be combined with Blum TIP-ON for a handleless front. The pack itself is a BLUMOTION soft-close set.
What does the 30 kg line mean?
The technical table says maximum weight capacity 30 kilograms. The file does not say that figure is the limit for two hinges.
How we compared
Shelf prices and stars are the amazon.co.uk snapshot of 19 October 2026 already stored for these twelve listings. This is not a laboratory test. None of the listings shows a test report to BS EN 15570. The score follows the buying order in the digest: the crank must match the door, the plate and screws must be named, the cup and door thickness must be usable, the hinge count must follow Blum’s own weight note, and the pack size must match the door count. The 1,989 reviews on the eight-piece and on the overlay pair are the same captured text, so they are not added together. The highest score that is a complete overlay kitchen pack is the top pick. Best value is the lowest price per full-overlay hinge in the set.

Blum hinges buying guide
Buy the crank before the star line. A Blum hinge in this set is usually a 110° CLIP top BLUMOTION for a frameless full-overlay door. Inset, face frame and bi-fold are different parts. Then check that the plate and screws are actually named, that the cup matches the door, and that "8 pieces" means eight hinges. Prices below are the amazon.co.uk figures stored on 19 October 2026.
What is a Blum hinge?
Blum hinges in this comparison are concealed cup hinges for cupboard doors, plus two listings that do a different job. Most rows are CLIP top BLUMOTION at 110° for frameless kitchens. One pack is a sprung face-frame COMPACT hinge, model 33B355AF22, at 107°, with no BLUMOTION line. One pair is a 60° self-closing bi-fold hinge that joins two leaves. It does not replace the wide-angle hinge that holds a normal door to the carcass. Half overlay is not clearly listed in this set.
Best for
A frameless full-overlay kitchen where you are replacing slamming doors
A DIYer hanging new doors who will drill a 35 mm cup and match the crank
Not ideal for
A face-frame cupboard or a bi-fold leaf if you buy a standard 71B3550 overlay pack
A lacquered door with no cup, or a cupboard that houses an appliance
Mistakes to avoid
1
Reading 8 pieces as 8 pairs
In this set, eight pieces is eight hinges. Two hinges on a door is four doors, not eight. The top-pick bullets say 8 pack (4 pairs), which is the same count of eight hinges.
2
Using an overlay hinge on an inset door
A straight-arm 71B3550 will not inset a door. Inset in this set is the full-crank 71B3750 family. Face frame and bi-fold are different parts again, and neither listing says BLUMOTION.
3
Assuming the plate and screws are in the box
One listing excludes the plate, cover cap, arm cover and screws. Other reviews report short screw packs and plate slots too narrow for old system screws. Stars do not show what is in the parcel.
What to weigh up
Application
High
The first check is the door, because these listings are not substitutes. Full overlay CLIP top BLUMOTION 110°, the 71B3550 and 71MB3550 family, is the bulk of the set and suits a frameless door that covers the carcass side. Inset is the full-crank 71B3750 family: one pair and one eight-pack. A straight arm will not inset a door, and a full crank is the wrong part if the door covers the side. Half overlay is not clearly listed.
Plate, cup and pack size
High
After the crank, read the box. B004US3N0M is a hinge only: plate, cover cap, arm cover and screws are not included, so about £4.19 is sensible only onto a plate you already own. The £4.40 single includes plate 173L8100, stated for 18 mm cabinets, and does not itemise screws. The top pick states plates, screws and guard plates. The best-value eight-piece names plate 173L8100 and does not itemise screws. Reviews on that pack report short screw counts and slots too narrow for old system screws.
Which option suits you?
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
🚪
Frameless kitchen refit
You are swapping slamming doors on a frameless UK kitchen, usually full overlay. The Blum 8-pack with plates is the top pick at about £40.99: plates, screws, guard plates and a deactivation switch are stated, with 4.6 from 601 reviews. If a Blum plate is already on the carcass, the £4.19 hinge-only listing is the cheaper swap, and it will not fit a bare side.
You are hanging new doors and you need a 35 mm cup and the correct crank. The ten-piece overlay set states a 35 mm cup, ten cam plates and chipboard screws at about £39.51. The star line is 4.1 from 235 reviews, with only two United Kingdom reviews in the file, so treat it as a specification buy, not a deep UK sample.
An ordinary 71B3550 pack is the wrong part. The face-frame COMPACT four-pack is 107°, sprung, for 16–19 mm doors, at about £26.95, and the listing does not say BLUMOTION. A corner or lazy-Susan leaf uses the 60° bi-fold pair at about £19.03. That pair joins two leaves. It does not hold a normal door to the carcass.
The top pick is the Blum 8-pack with plates at about £40.99. The bullets state eight 110° full-overlay BLUMOTION hinges, as four pairs, with mounting plates, screws, hinge guard plates and a deactivation switch. The rating is 4.6 from 601 reviews on this listing’s own sample. It costs more than the £27.48 eight-piece. It is more hinge than one door needs, and it is the wrong crank for an inset, face-frame or bi-fold door.
How much do Blum hinges cost on amazon.co.uk?
Shelf prices stored on 19 October 2026 run from about £4.19 to about £44.99. Full-overlay multi-packs sit at about £3.44 to £3.95 a hinge: £27.48 for eight and £39.51 for ten. A single hinge is about £4.19 to £4.49, and an overlay pair is about £8.69 to £9.68. The £4.19 listing has no plate. Inset, face-frame and bi-fold packs cost more because they do a different job. A £6.36 trade price is not an amazon.co.uk price.
What should you check before you buy a Blum hinge?
Check the application first: full overlay, inset, face frame or bi-fold. A straight-arm hinge will not inset a door. Then check that the plate and screws are named. One listing is a hinge only. On CLIP top 110° the cup is 35 mm and about 13 mm deep, 3 to 7 mm from the door edge. Door thickness is roughly 16 to 24 mm, or 16 to 19 mm on the face-frame pack. Eight pieces means eight hinges.
Is a Blum overlay hinge the same as an inset hinge?
No. A full-overlay door covers the carcass side and uses a straight arm, in this set the 71B3550 family. An inset door sits inside the opening and uses a full crank, the 71B3750 family. Half overlay is not clearly listed here. Face frame and bi-fold are different parts again. The crank difference, without a second price table, is set out in overlay or inset.
Does eight pieces mean eight pairs?
No. In this set, "8 pcs" or "8 pieces" means eight hinges. If you use two hinges on a door, that is four doors, not eight. The top-pick bullets say 8 pack (4 pairs), which is the same count of eight hinges. A review on the single-hinge listing says an order expected as pairs arrived as single hinges. Count the unit quantity before you order a kitchen.
What does the 30 kg line on a Blum hinge mean?
Two listings print a maximum weight capacity of 30 kilograms. The files do not say that figure is the limit for two hinges. Blum’s planning note says two hinges for about 4 to 6 kg and three for about 6 to 12 kg, handles included, for doors up to 600 mm wide, and an extra hinge up to 650 mm wide. Do not read 30 kg as the permitted weight of a two-hinge door.
Do the face-frame and bi-fold hinges have BLUMOTION?
No. The face-frame COMPACT four-pack, model 33B355AF22, is described as sprung at 107°. The bullets do not say BLUMOTION. The 60° bi-fold pair is self-closing, with a 0 mm plate, and the bullets do not say BLUMOTION. On a BLUMOTION hinge the damper can be switched off for a light door. The spring remains. Switching the damper off is not TIP-ON push-to-open.
Our verdict
The top pick is the Blum 8-pack with plates at about £40.99. It scores 92. The bullets state eight 110° full-overlay BLUMOTION hinges, plates, screws, guard plates and a deactivation switch, with 4.6 from 601 reviews on this listing. It is dearer than the eight-piece at about £27.48, and it is the wrong crank for inset, face-frame or bi-fold doors. Best value is the Blum 8-piece overlay BLUMOTION at about £27.48, about £3.44 a hinge, with 4.5 from 1,989 reviews. Screws are not itemised, and reviews report short packs and narrow plate slots. "8 pieces" is eight hinges, not eight pairs.
