FAQs

What cabinet thickness is this mounting plate designed for?

This mounting plate is specifically designed for cabinets with an 18mm material thickness.

What type of hinges is this plate compatible with?

It is designed for use with Blum CLIP top hinges.

Does the plate come with screws for mounting to the cabinet?

No, the mounting plate comes with pre-mounted system screws for attaching the hinge, but you will need separate wood screws to attach the plate to the cabinet carcass.

How do I adjust the door height after installation?

The mounting plate features integrated adjustment screws that allow for +/- 3mm of height adjustment.

What material is the mounting plate made of?

The mounting plate is made of durable nickel-plated steel.

What are the fixing dimensions?

The plate has 32mm between fixing positions and a 0mm cruciform back plate with 0mm spacing.

Troubleshooting

Door is not aligned correctly

Use the +/- 3mm height adjustment screws on the mounting plate to fine-tune the door's vertical position. Ensure hinges are correctly seated on the plate.

Plate does not sit flush against cabinet

Verify that the cabinet material is precisely 18mm thick. Check that the pre-drilled holes on the cabinet are correctly aligned with the 32mm fixing centers on the plate. Ensure no debris is obstructing the mounting surface.

Screws do not secure plate firmly

Ensure you are using appropriate wood screws for the cabinet material. If the holes feel stripped, consider using slightly larger screws or wood filler for a secure fix.
