Loops for corner kitchen cabinets 45 degrees. Installation of loops on the cabinet door do it yourself

Furniture loops - These are small mechanisms, with which various lockers open and close. Currently, there are many varieties of furniture accessories, and a novice master makes it difficult to choose a loop for cabinets.

Varieties of loops for cabinets

For the doors of the cabinet can be used:

• hinged loops. Such devices consist of two parts of the cards that are connected with the axis;

• four-stroke loops. The devices consist of a base attached to the mounting bar, four hinges, allowing to open 90º - 180º, and a cup connecting the door and a loop;

• loops designed for glass doors consist of four main elements: mounting plank, opening mechanism, sealing ringmounted on the surface of glass and decorative lining.

The most common are four-starry loops, which are distinguished by reliability and universality of use.

In turn, four-stroke furniture loops on the closet are divided into:

• overhead. Apply for doors that close the side parts of the niches;
• semi-blank. Used for the door, together covering the inside of the cabinet;
• contributions. Installed for the door, which is located inside the cabinet;

• corner. Optimally suitable for angular cabinets various design;

• inverse. Capable to open 180º, that is, the door and sidewall of the cabinet in the open position form a detailed angle.

The loops intended for the glass door are also divided into specified species.

All loops can be divided into:

• ordinary (types of conventional loops are presented above);
• smooth closing loops, that is, loops for cabinets with a closer.

Installation of loops

The method of installing loops intended for the cabinet depends on the material from which the door is made.

Before working, it is important to find out:

• how many loops will need to reliably hold the door;
• what instruments will be required.

Preparatory stage

The number of loops depends on a number of factors:

• the overall sizes of the test door (most important to find out the height of the facade);
• mass doors.

For installation, the following tools will be required:

• milling machine with a nozzle equal to the diameter of the loop cup;
• drill with a drill suitable for the diameter of the fastening screw;
• pencil, roulette for applying;
• building level;
• screwdriver or a regular screwdriver in the size of fasteners.

Mounting loop on a wooden door

To install the loops for kitchen cabinets or other furniture made of wood, you need to follow the instructions below.

	determine the location of the loops on the door. To do this, from each edge of the door retreats approximately 80-150 mm. The distance depends on the height of the door canvase;
	in the selected places mark up for installation. The loop is applied to the door and with the help of the pencil is planned location of the cup of the device;
	with help milling machine and the selected nozzle is drilled by a niche under a cup;

	the loop is inserted into the prepared niche and aligns horizontally. Fixing the mechanism in this position, it is necessary to note the place for fastening;
	holes are drilled for fastening elements;
	the device is attached to the door;
	marking is made for mounting mounting slats on the cabinet housing. To do this, you need to put the door to the right place and align, completely excluding the possibility of distortion and shifts. On the cabinet case, mark the places for mounting the planks;
	the noted holes are drilled;
	the installation of the response is made;
	two pieces of hinges are connected.

For convenience of installing the loop, you can use a special template that allows you to make a markup quickly and efficiently.

Mounting loop on a glass door

Installation of loops for glass cabinets is carried out according to the following scheme:

1. all work begins with drawing and selecting the area to install the loop. Markup rules are identical to the previous situation;
2. with the help of a drill, a loop is fixed to wooden frame Cabinet. For this, holes are drilled under fastening elements, and the loop is fixed with a screwdriver or screwdriver;
3. the glass is mounted using clips. The surface of the glass is inserted into the loop. On each side, rubber gaskets protecting glass from damage are installed between the glass and loop. The loop is fixed by bolts.

More information about the method of installing loops for glass doors can be found by looking at the video.

The instruction presents the installation of a loop that does not imply drilling glass. This method is most preferable, as it is eliminated the possibility of a door split. How to install a loop if you need to drill glass, presented in the figure below.

Installation of hinges for metal cabinets can be carried out on one of the presented technologies. The installation method depends on the type of loop used.

Loop adjustment

In most cases, the repair of the cabinet loop is to adjust the device.

The standard four-stroke loop is made in three directions:

• vertically;
• horizontally;
• at the depth of installation.

To adjust the furniture loop, you need:

1. reveal the problem that occurred, that is, to determine in which direction a shift occurred;
2. remove or weaken the appropriate bolt located on the hinge housing.

With the help of adjusting bolts, you can eliminate the disadvantages that are detected after installing the loop, and adjust the position of the furniture door for the correct closing and dense adjacent to the cabinet case.

Need to choose and install furniture loops occurs when buying furniture and self-assembly Or after breakdown, for example, as a result of unsuccessful transportation. The choice of loops depends on the set various factors, the main of which is the way to open the door. The loop installation can be made on their own. This work does not cause difficulties from beginner masters and absolutely inexperienced people. The main thing is to proper markup.

The main task of furniture loops - ensuring the opening of the sash under right angle. Buyers' trust won the loop furniture with the closer. Their feature is the execution of three functions at the same time: action lever system, standard loop tasks, ensuring the design resistance in the open position.

In the housing of the loop with the closer for the doors there is a cylinder with a spring embedded in it. When opening the sash, the spring is compressed, and when closing straightens and has a power effect on the door. Due to the fact that the cylinder is filled with oil, the product works in damping mode, so door leaf Closes slowly and does not hit the jamb.

Dimensions of hinges for furniture

Standard loops for cabinets, bedside tables perform a protective function. They have high strength indicators, withstand dozens of working cycles. Mostly popular in installation such a model as a "frog". The distinctive parameter is to ensure the angle of opening the door from 90 to 160 degrees.

Card loops are products consisting of two plates, which are connected by a special rolling rod. They are made of steel (stainless steel) or brass. Card loops belong to the standard fittings type.

Overhead loops have a non-standard "butterfly" form. The peculiarity of this type of product is the lack of need for the sample. Overhead loops - double-sided products that plates.

The loop with the closer provide:

• automatic door performance;
• regulate slowdown;
• closing speed.

The loops with the closer for doors are distinguished by ergonomic, shocking slamming, the function of fixing the position of the door. Such loops with closers for the kitchen - optimal option, ensuring the silence of the closing / opening process. In addition, the convenience of operation of the facades of the design after mounting such a product is ensured.

In the catalog "TBM-Market" you will find a large selection of loops with a closer for doors presented by products. trademarks Firmax, FGV et al. Depending on the design of furniture modules, we can choose products for overhead, deposit and adjacent doors, as well as for angular flaps with an angle from 30 ° to 135 ° (45 °). For search purposes additional elements For a competent installation, we recommend visiting the section "Furniture Fasteners".

Today, in connection with the dynamic development of new technologies, the requirements for the design and manufacture of products intended for the furnishings of the premises rose. Modern and functional steel and furniture loops of the varieties of which are diverse, on which the durability of household items depends during its use. Properly selected accessories gives, the strength of furniture, translates it to a higher designer level.

Today carrying fastening mechanism for modern furniture manufactured by B. huge assortment. A variety of furniture loops Their versatility makes it possible to use it with pleasure kitchen headsets, bedside tables, easily close, open boxes, cabinets, doors. Furniture loops in their intended, constructive features, installation are divided into types:

• overhead;
• semi-fold;
• internal;
• corner;
• inverse;
• piano;
• card;
• andresol;
• secret;
• gallery;
• liver;
• pendulum;
• heel.

Overhead and semi-roll

Classic locking mechanisms are used for furniture, input, interior doors. It has a different shape, size, well withstands the load. Provide the free opening and closure of the cabinet door at an angle of 90, support the sash at the desired level, prevent the distortion. Loops are attached on the cabinet the main part to the lateral inner wall of the furniture.

Furniture holders differ from the overhead on the bending of the base. The mechanism is fixed when one of the lateral flaps must be mounted at once two doors dropped in different directions. Usually such loops are used for kitchen heads.

Materials manufacturing

An important requirement for all furniture fittings is their compliance with safety standards. Simple auxiliary products, providing a movable movement of furniture parts, are manufactured by special technology using different materials. In the manufacture of connecting attachment, the manufacturer takes into account the types and value of furniture products based on this, the desired mount is selected.

When choosing a loop, you must consider them basic characteristics This is the quality of the material, their functionality, versatility, the appearance of the model. The most popular, the connecting mechanisms made from brass, steel are in demand. They are considered the most reliable, durable, do not give in corrosion, have a good slip, do not deform.

An important point of versatility and quality of the product is simple installation, the ability to adjust furniture loops. Modern fastening structures allow you to adjust the facade along the vertical, horizontal and depth plane. Different settings are presented on video.

Installation and adjustment

To properly install furniture accessories, special knowledge is not required, the main thing is to comply with the rules and recommendations attached when buying a product. Before you start, you need to familiarize yourself with the device holder, its advantages and opportunities. Before installing furniture loops yourself, it is necessary to choose a rational approach to work, this is:

• prepare the necessary tools;
• make markup;
• carry out the drilling of the required holes;
• install the loop and adjust.

Before installing the loops, it is necessary to take into account the features of the process. By making markup to stick to accuracy in the distance so that after installing the loops, their contact occurred. Fasteners of furniture must be on the same axis. This uses a building level for alignment.

By making the depth of the holes, it is necessary to take into account the thickness of the material from which the furniture is made.

The final stage of installation is adjusting accessories. The adjustment procedure requires a responsible relationship due to how correctly adjustment will be carried out, the functionality of the furniture depends. One of the methods of adjustment is in depth, lies in pressed or weakening the facade to the case. Using the twisting oval holes, you can pull the facade on the savings on time. Side adjustment helps to avoid slots, gaps between the facade and the box.

The convenience of using kitchen furniture, its reliability and even the design largely determines the accessories for the kitchen. Manufacturers are constantly offering in addition to the existing new types of furniture loops, pens, lifting and retractable mechanisms, baskets and other useful devices, improving the functionality and increase the level of comfort of furniture. We hope our survey for the kitchen will be useful to those readers facing the problem of design. kitchen furniture and choosing components.

To install the kitchen cabinets of the bottom row and cabinets, use adjustable supports, it allows you to align furniture strictly horizontally, regardless of the floor level. There is a place for furniture, where you can place communications. Depending on how the mark should be a working surface, use supports of different heights, from 100 to 170 mm. Regarding the nominal height of the support can be adjusted by 10 mm in plus (above) or minus (below). As a rule, it is enough to compensate for the curvature of the floor when it is presented.

Dimensional row of support for kitchen cabinets

Supports also serve to fix the base. Fasten the base panel on quick-end snaps.

The set of adjustable support includes fastening elements For basebars of various types

In the case when space under the closets remains open, use supports with more attractive external species.

Chrome adjustable supports without retainers are suitable for the kitchen without ground panel

For used dining tables, bar racks and kitchen Islandsnot based on the cumsions of the lower row, and often use adjustable supports. They are distinguished by an improved design, a reference platform of an increased area and a large adjustment range, 2-4 cm in each of the sides.

Among the supports for countertops and bar racks are more often found three heights: 710 mm for dining table.820 mm for the working surface (low bar stand) 1100 mm for high bar rack

Furniture ties

To connect the external elements of the cabinet and stationary shelves, furniture Evrovint (EuroShrup, confirmation, screw screed) is used. He is good because it is quickly and simply installed, including at an angle. Yes, and it is inexpensive. A negative point - a screw screed is not designed for multiple disassembly and the furniture assembly, which, however, for homemade kitchen, as a rule, does not matter.

Confirmation screed is installed in the ends of the side walls of the cabinet

It is impossible to drill holes for Euro Shurus regular drillFor this, only special is used, with a diameter extension at the base repeating configuration configuration.

For the installation of EuroSheks, it will take a special drill and nozzle for a screwdriver or a hex key

You need not only the elements of the cabinets, but also the cabinets (modules, sections). Both lower and upper, combining them in connected design. This is done with the help of intersection screeds, which connect adjacent cabinets through the holes drilled in the walls.

Intersective screed - connecting screw of adjustable length, can be fixed elements with it (in our case, the side walls of the modules) of different thicknesses

Fastening of mounted cabinets

The upper cabinets of modern kitchen are hanging on a common assembly rail (bar) with special devices - hollow. Rake, the length of which is equal to the length of the entire upper row of the cabinets, is fixed reliably and strictly horizontally.

General for all lockers Installation rake greatly simplifies their installation.

In the mounting rail, special hooks for the hooks that are available on the hits are provided. In the upper cabinets modern kitchensTypically, already installed hits. If not, it is easy to put them, you only need to make a small hole in the rear wall. The design of the hide allows you to adjust the clamping of the locker to the wall, makes it possible to raise or lower it to several millimeters.

The mechanism of hide with a decorative lid. The top screw adjusts the height of the locker, the bottom - the depth (degree of clamping to the wall)

When using the rail and hitch it is desirable that in the upper cabinets the rear wall is inserted into the grooves with a small gluke, and not fixed over the housing from the back.

Top cabinets in which the rear wall of the fiberboard is slightly shifted inside (right), will be pressed against the wall denser

Furniture loops

The loops on the facades of the cabinets, ensuring their opening to the side - this is the kitchen accessories with which we are constantly. In the average family per day, kitchen doors open and close until hundreds of times. The loops intended for kitchen furniture should have a high resource, open with minimal effort and silently. Of all existing types The hinges for the kitchen are best suited for mortise four-wing.

Four-coarse furniture loops

The overwhelming majority of modern cuisines are equipped with four hinge furniture hinges. The presence of several hinges is displaced with respect to the axis turning the movement of the loop. When opening the door, it goes a little forward and to the side, to the center of the locker. Due to this, it does not hurt the edge neighboring even if the distance between the next facades in the closed state is minimally 3-4 mm. A flat spring in such a loop provides not only the automatic closing of the door with a small opening corner, but also its dense clamp in a closed state.

Four-coarse loops are not visible outside, so do not affect the furniture design. The design of the loop allows you to adjust the position of the facades in all directions, correct the deviations horizontally and vertically.

Four hinged loops allow you to adjust the position of the door in all directions

Adjustable loops make it possible very neat, with equal and minimal gaps to distribute the facades on the front surface of the furniture. Cases of cabinets are practically not visible.

Kitchen furniture in the European tradition: doors completely close cabinet cases, slots between the facades are minimal

It is necessary to mention that in the North American tradition, a different principle of sampling of facades on cabinets is used. Unlike the European system, where the door is superimposed on the locker, closing the ends of its walls, in the USA and Canada the facade is more often inserted into the cabinet flush with its body.

Kitchen furniture in the European tradition: doors are placed inside the cabinet case, the ends of which are viewed

When the mortise loop is installed on the locker's sidewall, they screw the cross-shaped mounting pad, and on the door, in a pre-drilled deaf hole with a diameter of 35 mm insert a cup with a hinged-spring mechanism. In budget loops, the base of the mechanism is inserted into the pad in the site and is screwed by the screw.

Installation scheme of four hinge loop with mounting mechanism in grooves

The loop is more expensive with one movement, it is just as easy to remove them.

In this loop, the housing snaps on the site, the spring lock and the hole for it are highlighted in red

As a rule, hinges are installed on production, but it can be done on their own. This requires a special drill and accuracy when marking.

Overlay of four-coarse loops

Depending on the degree of imposition on the case of the cabinet, mortise loops are divided into three types:

• Overhead - designed for the doors of standard cabinets that have a full-fledged body closed on all sides. That is, the locker has side walls, bottom and stove or bar from above. Most modern kitchens are collected from such cabinets. The facade should close the end of the side wall, so the blowing of the door is the maximum possible gap between adjacent facades.

• The floor loop closes only half the end of the wall, again, taking into account the gap. Designed for cases when "saved" on one of the walls, mounted two (or more) of the locker on one bottom and in one full dimensional case, separating them with a partition. Accordingly, one wall-partition closes two doors. The decision is not typical, more often found in furniture individual design and manufacture.

• The contribution loop is designed for kitchen furniture made in the North American tradition, which we mentioned above. The door is placed inside the cabinet case, without closing its ends.

Overhead, semi-roll and depositable loops are designed for lockers of various designs.

Corners of the opening of four-coarse loops for standard rectangular cabinets

The furniture loop provides an opening of the door at a certain angle. The standard rectangular kitchen cabinet in most cases is equipped with a loop, which opens perpendicular to the facade, at right angles. More precisely, a little more direct - most manufacturers make standard loops with a disclosure by 95º.

Standard loop provides opening door for a straight angle or a little more

Such disclosure is suitable for typical cabinets of the bottom row, but not always convenient for the upper, especially those who most often use. For example: in drying for the dishes several times the day are fresh on the day, the doors often remain open all the time The dishes are washed. There is a risk that any of the owners will be injured by hitting his head on the edge of the facade sticking forward.

But if the door is equipped with a loop of full disclosure and turns to an angle approaching 180º (165º if there are protruding handles on the facades), the open cabinet becomes injuries. Also, full disclosure loops are used for lockers with doors in which extendable elements are available.

The hinge of full disclosure has an angle of rotation close to 180º, the open door will be located parallel to the facade. At the same time, it is advanced forward and does not hurt the neighboring door.

Corners of opening four-walled loops for non-standard cabinets

For cabinets non-standard form The loops that ensure the opening of the door at a right angle, are often not suitable. For example, it is much more convenient if the door of the angular trapezoid locker on the M-shaped kitchen will open for a larger angle (135º). In the angular rectangular cabinet with the "pocket" of the loop, it is attached on the wall (folder) parallel to the facade, therefore, it should be opened at an angle of approximately equal to 270º.

For the door of the corner locker with the "pocket", a loop with an angle of disclosure is about 270º

And for the folding door of the M-shaped corner locker, two types of loops of various designs will be required

For folding doors, loops with different angle of opening are needed.

Accessories for kitchen cabinets of non-standard form should be seamless so that the fronting angle of the facades ensure maximum access to the shelves' content.

Loops on the corner of disclosure must be selected taking into account the design of the cabinet

When selection of loops, the buyer may encounter confusion caused by differences in the methods for determining the opening angle. Methods are two: when you first indicate the nominal opening angle of the loop, from closed to a fully open state. With the second method from the real value of the loop disclosure take value direct corner. This value is called the installation angle and for a standard loop of 90 degoing - 0º. Thus, a hinge with an opening of 45º, 90º, 120º, 165º, 180º, 270 decking angles of installation, respectively: -45º, 0º, 30º, 75º, 90º, 180º.

You can find a variety of models of four-coarse loops with a variety of disclosure angles suitable for almost any closet of non-standard design. However, there are situations where available models are not enough. As a rule, this is an individual design and design furniture, where the front of the kitchen bends not at right angles. In this case, the angle of opening the door can be changed by setting an additional wedge-shaped spacer under the cross-shaped loop.

Wedge-shaped platform installed under the loop bar changes the door opening angle

Cutting loops with closers

Most (but not all) four-coarse loops have a flat spring, automatically closing the door of the cabinet. If it does not hold it, the door knocks on the case of the locker with an unpleasant sound. Silicone pad, which is usually stuck on rear part The facade or the end of the locker, only partially solves the problem. Kitchen closers installed on mortise loops slow down the movement in the last stage of closure, it occurs softly and silently. And it's too easy enough to push the door so that it starts to close.

Furniture loop with integrated spring closer

Other interesting devicewhich is worth mentioning - the door opening system by pressing them. To implement this solution on the cabinet case opposite the hinge, a cylinder is installed with a button, and on the door - a magnetic plate. The cylindrik makes the closure of the facade soft, partially performing the configuration function.

If the cabinet is completed with the mechanism of opening-closing the door by pressing, there is no need for a closer

Traditional types of furniture loops

Until the 60s of the XX century, traditional loops were used for kitchen furniture. open type With one hinge, in many ways similar to the door.

Traditional single-coat loops can be attached to the plane of the walls and doors (card type) or in their ends (pin type)

Such loops "do not know how to automatically close and press the doors. To ensure the disclosure of the door to an angle, noticeably exceeding 90º, the facades of neighboring cabinets have to be placed at a considerable distance. The use of traditional single-coat loops with the disadvantages inherent in them is justified for kitchen furniture made in a pronounced traditional style. Properly selected open loops serve as an element of the external decor.

Open loop of a pin type serves not only functional elementbut also decoration of kitchen furniture made in traditional style

Retractable storage systems

On the bottom tier is much more convenient to store kitchen utensils In retractable boxes than in cabinets with shelves. No need to lean low, quick access to the entire depth of the cabinet is ensured, things are located systemically, and it is really more placed. The only lack of retractable systems is their higher compared to conventional cabinets. In budget furniture we will not see large number Shufloka, but the lower level of elite cuisine may be completely consisting of drawing elements. The rizoscopic movement of such storage systems provide guide mechanisms.

Store kitchen utensils and use it much more convenient in drawers than on the shelves

Guides for retractable systems

There are two types of mechanisms for drawers: roller and balls:

In roller guides, the oncoming movement of the polozov provides two polymeric wheelters - roller. Due to the special form of the guides, the adhesive of the hubled to the closet is ensured in the end stage of the closure - an analogue of the closer. Roller guides do not push the box to the end, its contents at the far end will have to grip with hand. Rollers do not provide the perfect smoothness of the course, but they are cheap. This is a completely acceptable solution for budget furniture.

Cheap roller guides can pick up almost any depths to the box

Ball guides are completely deprived of the flaws of roller. Present a linear telescopic bearing: steel balls are located between moving guides in two rows. Durable steel telescopic design is very durable and withstands considerable weight. Several dozen small diameter balls provide smooth and silent movement. Ball guides consisting of two telescopic elements put forward a box not to the end, like roller. But the guides with three elements allow you to push the box from the cabinet completely.

On illustrations from above - ball guides of complete extension, designed for greater load. From below - guides for the average load of incomplete extension

In the basic version, ball guides do not have closers, but you can purchase options with a mechanism providing smooth automatic closing drawer.

Variants of retractable systems

The most common retractable systems are conventional boxes (shuflids) on roller or ball guides. They can have a case from ordinary laminated chipboard or metal frame.

Full extension box with metal carcasywhich serves as one of the elements of a special ball guide

Instead of a box with solid walls, you can use mesh baskets, but general scheme From this does not change - the guides are installed on both sides of the retractable system horizontally.

Retractable drying for large-sized dishes placed in the lower tier of cabinets

By the same principle, retractable cutting boards and mini-tables are arranged.

Big and comfortable retractable cutting board in folded form almost does not occupy

Another option layout of retractable systems is a cargo basket (bottle), where mesh baskets are installed in several levels and are a single design with a cabinet door. If the cargo is wide enough (from 30 cm), the guides are installed as for the boxes, on both sides of the lower basket. For narrow bottles, ball mechanisms are placed vertically only on one side of the baskets, one over the other.

Cargo for high cabinet with one-sided location of the guides

Rotary and swivel-retractable systems

For corner cabinets, where access to the deaf half is difficult, invented rotary mechanisms For storage utensils. The "carousels" are widely known, where mesh shelves are rotated around the central axis in the form of a circle sectors corresponding to the cabinet configuration. Convenient, but not very rational, because the angles remain unait.

Rotary "Carousel" - the radius shape of the shelves does not allow to use the corners of the cabinet

This disadvantage is devoid of rotary-retractable systems intended for angular furniture. With this solution there are two sections of two-level baskets: one, integrated with the door, moves along a complex trajectory, simultaneously gliding in the middle and turning. The second section is extended from the deaf part of the cabinet in the place of the first, where access is provided to it.

Rotary retractable storage system for an angular cabinet, its entire area is used

Logging mechanisms for top-level cabinets

In the upper row, cabinets with wide lifting doors are often more convenient than the usual opening to the side. A large space is available, the adjacent doors do not overlap each other, do not interfere with man. Wide and low horizontal doors are harmonized with sliding systems of the lower row, perfectly fit into a fashionable minimalist style. The only drawback of the "lifts" is a considerable price compared to conventional loops.

The mechanisms of lifts can be lever-springs or pneumatic (gas lift). In the latter, gas-filled shock absorbers are used, providing exceptional smoothness. The standard lift works including as a closer and the movement itself, stopping only completely open or closed. The friction lift can be stopped half-open in any position, which is convenient at high cabinets. Functionally lifting mechanisms for kitchen cabinets can be divided into three groups:

• Rotary lifts - the door rises around the axis located on top. Not an ideal solution: Low person is inconvenient to close the locker, the tall can knock on his head about the door

A lever-spring swivel lift, for opening and closing the door, it is necessary to make some effort.

• Vertical lifts - Door slides vertically parallel to the facade. Traumatic solution.

Vertical lift - a suitable solution for low cabinets

• Folded lifts - the door describes a complex trajectory, the handle is low, while the space of the cabinet is well available. Cabinets can be high enough, to the handle it is easy to reach

For a person low growth or at high cabinets, the folding lift is more convenient than the rotary or vertical: the door handle is located below, it does not need to be stretching for it to close the door

• The lifts for folding doors on the convenience of use are not inferior to folding, but the cabinet can be made even higher, receiving free access to the shelves. The most convenient solution, the most expensive mechanisms.

Folding lifting doors - the most convenient solution for the top tier

The solution is quite comfortable, you only need to leave a place for grab above the door. Furniture without a handle is perfectly combined with the interior performed in the spirit of fashionable minimalism.

Over or under integrated handles must be left free space For hand

• The opening systems from the press, which we have already mentioned - the handles are not needed. We recommend that such cases choose furniture with a matte surface of the door. It does not have traces from fingers, unlike glass and gloss.

On the glass door open from the press, the clear traces of the fingers will be visible. For such a case, it is better to choose a matte facade
