**Exact dimensions.** Every file is drawn at true size with no tolerance added. The holes and pins that meet another part are listed below under Mating features, with the fit each joint needs; open those by your process's clearance before making the part.

## Notes

- TIP-ON is a plunger that sits in a Ø10 hole drilled into the cabinet side. Pressing the door pushes the plunger in; on release it pushes the door open by the stroke. The two magnet versions pick the door up with a catch plate on the door; the bumper version pushes on the door directly.
- Short version: Ø10 × 50 mm hole, about 17 mm stroke, for overlay doors up to about 1300 mm high. Long version: Ø10 × 76 mm hole, about 38 mm stroke, for overlay doors from about 1300 mm or for inset doors. Drill tolerance is +1 / −0 mm.
- Magnet versions are for free-swinging (unsprung) hinges and need the catch plate. The long bumper version is for sprung (self-closing) hinges and needs no catch plate. Gap at the plunger: adjustable from −1 to +4 mm; one turn of the ejector pin is 1 mm (4 click stops).
- Catch plate: a glue-on and a screw-on plate come with the unit. With a sprung hinge the minimum gap is 2.6 mm (glue-on) or 3.1 mm (screw-on). A screw-on plate sits 3 mm to the side of the TIP-ON. The plate's own size and its holes are not printed, so none is drawn.
- Position: the bore centre is 7.5 mm from the inside of the cabinet side (Blum's template 65.5010). Fit the unit within ±300 mm of the handle height and up to a quarter of the cabinet width (Blum's assembly-position tolerance).
- Left out: the plunger and body diameters, the length of the unit, flange or lug sizes, adapter-plate outline and screw-hole positions (the numbers 20/17, 20/32 and 37/32 are printed as plate designations, not defined). Measure the unit in hand for those.
- No file: the makers' text pages print the body, flange, plunger and strike-plate drawing numbers without naming the feature each one measures, and the outline is not stated in words, so nothing is drawn. A plain cylinder for the bore would not be the part.
