Browse Forums Kitchen Corner 1 Oct 02, 2012 9:47 pm Does anyone have or has anyone previously used the push button type of kitchen cabinets? Our builder is recommending this as an alternative to knife-edge handles as we are really wanting to go with a handless look in our kitchen. Any negatives or positives?

On drawers over 700mm you need to add a trigger mech so as the two sides/runners open and the same time. You have to push the drawers closed and cant have a softclose runner. It works perfectly well on the doors. You get what you pay for. They is some cheap push to open hardware around that is terriable. Stick with Blum or Hettich and you wont have a problem.

It is the physics. The energy to cause the soft close is stored when you pull the drawer open. The energy to push open is stored when you push the drawer closed. We have Blum P2O - excellent product - handle-less kitchen - looks very good. barkly You can really use anything you want the main consideration would be how it looks once painted/finished - or the look you want.
