Blum 86° Opening Angle Restriction Clip, 2 Packs of 10 Clips, Plastic, Deep Gray, Compatible with Compact BLUMOTION & Compact Clip Hinges

These work exactly as designed and are not too restrictive... maybe others reporting they are too restrictive did not install them quite correctly? Mine clicked in just right and restrict my door just shy of 90 ° as expected. I will say, the clips are very tiny, so I had to use my screwdriver to ensure they were lined up just right before opening the hinge to resecure to the casework. What I did: I did only one hinge at a time to ensure the door remained aligned. Starting with the lower hinge, I unscrewed the single center screw going into the casework, leaving the hinge attached to the door. I then closed the hinge so I could access the hole on the back where the clip is inserted. I used my screwdriver to ensure the clip was centered and pushed in as far as it would go, with the curved part of the clip overlying the bar. Opening the hinge with the clip in place seemed to secure the clip into place with a slight click. I reinstalled the hinge using the center screw hole in the casework, then tested to ensure it was still aligned correctly. Lather, rinse, repeat, for the other hinge, and enjoy the success!

I had my kitchen remodeled and several of the cabinet doors were hitting walls, appliances, or other cabinets when they opened. These little clips were easy to install with just a screwdriver and worked perfectly! I can even use my roll-out shelves with the door restricted. (It’s close, but the roll-out doesn’t hit the door.). I’ve attached a photo of one of the cabinets I used a clip on. The left door is restricted and doesn’t hit the wall any more. The right door is unrestricted -no clip.

Works perfectly on Blum Compact Hinges. Easy installation.

The angle restriction clips work just as they say. It stops my cabinet doors from opening all the way and hitting the wall, appliances and other cabinets. I was able to use the on cabinet doors with pull out shelves. But if I pull the shelf out all the way past the door, I do have to hold the door open a bit to be able to slide the shelf back in. It's a mild inconvenience since I don't often pull the sliding shelves out all the way. I took off one star to make others aware that these clips don't fully prevent the door from opening up all the way, especially if you swing the door open quickly and with some extra force. For the most part, we are gentle with our doors and if they are opened normally, the clips will stop the door from opening all the way and resting against another cabinet or wall. However, we have two teenage boys who are not quite as gentle on things. If they fling the doors open, the doors will still hit the wall or other cabinet, but the doors will not rest there. They will bounce back to the correct angle and will not be touching the wall or other cabinet. So know there is a little "bounce" in these clips, but overall it's a really great and cheap solution for our problem.

Perfect for my new cabinet job. Easy to install. Works well.

Worked like a charm. Stopped banging other cupboards.

We just redid our cabinets and didn’t want our new hardware hitting our cabinets since we painted them white so I bought these. Unfortunately they are TOO restrictive and the doors didn’t open enough. The actual design and product itself is great and a wonderful idea. Easy to install as well but didn’t work for me. After trying though I had the idea to use small magnets since the brackets are metal. This piece measured 5mm deep so I bought a pack of 6mm x 3mm magnets which worked amazingly well! It’s also easy to install and works no matter your bracket as long as it’s metal. Same process, take off bracket, put magnet in gap, and worked perfectly. I was even able to slip the magnet in some cabinets without taking hardware off. I’ve included pictures of what I did. So if your me looking for a solution because these don’t fit or don’t open enough or maybe still own too much, try out some small magnets. 3mm basically gave me right at 90 degrees which you’ll see in the pictures. The door more closed was this product, the door more open but still not hitting the cabinets was the magnet.

I got these angle restrictors to go into my Blum "38N355BE08x10S Compact Soft-Close 1/2'' Overlay Blumotion Hinges" and they slip in easily and work perfectly. A couple of tips. Slide them in with the curve down toward the round surface inside the hinge and pointed toward the edge of the door. It does not clip in, so place it in gently and start closing the hinge over it to secure. If the restrictor comes partially loose you could end up with it only opening 70* or so. Just undo the screw, close the hinge to expose the back area, remove the restrictor and put it back in carefully and open the hinge up over it. NOTE: When you "open" the hinge (as when the door was opened) the hinge closes over the back pivot area in which the restrictor is placed. When you "close" the hinge (as when the door would be closed) it opens up the back pivot area. Hope that helps. If putting these into hinges on doors already installed in cabinets, then just remove one hinge at a time, put in the restrictor and re-secure screw. I found it easiest to remove the single cupboard side screw and leave in place the two screws on the door. And I did the top hinge first then the bottom. One hinge with a restrictor will prevent the door from opening past 87*, but I put a restrictor in both hinges for greater durability. I put them in all cabinet doors in a 90* corner, plus the ones opening against the dishwasher. You might consider if you want them in doors that are 180* from each other but will bang if opened at the same time. None of ours are used such that this would happen but for some people this might be a consideration.

Clips easily inserted into hinges and my cabinet door no longer hits the wall

They do not fit every blumotion hinge, I’m sending them back. For things like this it’s better to buy the component and hinge at the same time from the same stockist. Blum make a similar but different component: 70T3553.

Fits perfectly, now prevents the door from hitting the wall when open

The blum 86 deg. Motion restricker work very well, however I was not impressed on how long it took to send me the product over one month!

Did not fit, so unable to comment.
