Browse Forums Kitchen Appliances 1 Sep 19, 2011 4:05 pm Hi all Just a quick question. Does a fully integrated dishwasher need a door handle on the cabinetry door? I am having a handle-less kitchen and would like a fully integrated dishwasher. But I'm not sure if they can still be opened with the cabinet door on the front, without a handle? This is probably a silly question, but i cant find the answer to it anywhere. Thanks DanniB BLOG: thehousewebuilt2010.blogspot.com (And are still building!)

Unless the handle less door has a good and deep groove for you to grip on, a fully integrated dishwasher with a proper handle is much easier to open because the door is heavier than other cupboard doors and the dishwasher is usually engaged with the latch when it's in closed position. 2 2516 Black on light wood does look good. Not sure if it will be as long lasting as a steel finish? 6 6348 Get some long brass machine screws and bolt right through the gate and put brass acorn nuts and washers on the other side.
