Try this address.  You will have to register, as mentioned earlier, to use their services.  When you find the CAD file, I doubt they will offer native Fusion 360 files so choose STEP or STP neutral format.  The hinge download will be static, if you want it to move you will have to add assembly joints.

Looking at their CAD data, it seems that they only offer 3D DWG files.

Attached is one of their hinges with most of the assembly joints added.  The component that would be screwed into the mounting pocket is Grounded.

As I mentioned earlier, they seem to only offer 3D DWG files so you will download their file, open it directly in Fusion 360.  Fusion 360 will have to convert it.  After that what you do with it is up to you.  If you need instruction on how to make it operational, that will have to be done via a Screencast.

Edit: After opening it, you will save it out as a Component and the insert it into your assembly.  Again, to make it active is another complete process.

Works for me!  I converted the file into Fusion 360 F3D format so you save it to your hard drive and the go to File, Open and select the file.

Here is a Screencast with the opening process for the file I attached earlier.  It does not matter the operating system you are using.  How long have you been using Fusion 360?

Are you reading my posts!  I told you that I downloaded a 3D DWG from the Blum site, and opened it using Fusion 360.  Fusion 360 will convert it automatically and ask you if you want to open it.

Hi,

Which license do you use?
As far as I know, converting DWG files is not possible with the personal license.
