This helps to ensure an optimal connection between the wooden drawer and TANDEM locking device.

Opening angle stops 155° hinges

Andrea Gruber Allgemein

What opening angle stops do we have for 155°-hinges and how are they installed?

This picture shows a CLIP TOP 155° hingeFor CLIP top 155°-hinges, at Blum we offer two different opening angle stops: 70T7553 and 70T7553.09. The following article describes the different opening angle stops and the applications they are best suited to.

 

Opening angle stops are used to prevent the door from colliding with walls/protruding cabinets. At Blum, we provide a solution to this problem for CLIP top 155°-hinges in the form of opening angle stop 70T7553.09. This limits the opening angle to 92°.

Why 92°? This means that 0-protrusion is always guaranteed for the 155°-hinge and that the drawer does not collide with the door when it slides out of the cabinet.
