Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Blum hinge?
A Blum hinge attaches to your existing or new kitchen cabinets to provide a smooth open and close function. Blum hinges come in a variety of styles with each one ensuring that opening and closing your cabinet doors is seamless and smooth.
How much weight can a Blum hinge hold?
The height and weight of the door will determine the number of Blum hinges you’ll need. However, the recommendation for the weight capacity of Blum hinges is based on a standard 600mm-wide door. The general rule of thumb for Blum hinges is that each one has a weight capacity of 3.5kg, so, if any of your doors are heavier, consider more hinges.
