The AVENTOS HF top lever arm set provides the mechanical framework for bi-fold cabinet doors that open upwards. These telescopic arms work in pairs to control the lifting motion of your upper cabinet doors, allowing them to fold back against the cabinet ceiling rather than swinging outward into your kitchen space.

Where It Fits

This system works in wall cabinets between 480mm and 610mm in height, spanning widths from 300mm up to 1800mm. It suits kitchens where you want upper storage that doesn't interfere with worktop activities or where traditional hinged doors might hit obstacles like windows or pendant lights.

How It Works

The telescopic arms attach to your cabinet door and guide it through a controlled upward and backward motion. When you push the door upward, it lifts and folds back parallel to the cabinet ceiling, creating full access to the interior without the door projecting into your kitchen space.

Why It Matters

This lifting action means you can open tall upper cabinets without ducking under doors or having them block your view. It's particularly useful above islands or peninsulas where traditional doors would get in the way, and it works well in galley kitchens where space is tight.

Design Consideration

The bi-fold mechanism requires adequate internal cabinet height to accommodate the folded door, so your cabinet needs to be at least 480mm tall internally. The system works best when you can comfortably reach the door to initiate the opening motion. Consider whether the upward opening action suits how you'll use these particular cabinets.

Build Quality

Blum's AVENTOS mechanism uses precision-engineered telescopic arms with a push-fit installation method. The system includes Blum's lifetime guarantee, reflecting the robust construction designed for daily use over many years.

The lever arm set comes as a pair and integrates with Blum's AVENTOS HF system components. Your kitchen designer will specify the appropriate hinges and other hardware to complete the installation based on your specific door weights and cabinet dimensions.
