The AVENTOS HK-S is Blum's stay lift mechanism for wall cabinets with upward-opening doors. This set includes two lift mechanisms with cover caps and fixing screws, designed to support cabinet doors that open upwards and stay in position.

Where It Fits

These mechanisms work in wall cabinets where you want the door to lift up rather than swing out. They're particularly useful above worktops where a side-opening door might get in your way, or in tall cabinets where you need the door to stay open while you reach inside.

How It Works

The stay lift mechanism controls the upward movement of your cabinet door, bringing it to a comfortable position and holding it there. The door opens to 107 degrees, giving you good access to the cabinet interior. When you're finished, a gentle push closes the door smoothly.

Why It Matters

This solves the problem of cabinet doors that slam shut or won't stay open when you need both hands free. You can reach into the cabinet, retrieve items, or reorganise contents without fighting with a door that wants to close on you.

Design Consideration

Your cabinet needs to be at least 240mm deep internally for these mechanisms to work properly. The stay lift works well for medium-weight doors but isn't suitable for very heavy door fronts or glass doors that need extra support. Consider whether the upward opening suits your kitchen layout, particularly if you have shelving or other cabinets above.

Build Quality

Blum mechanisms are built for daily use with smooth, controlled movement. The light grey finish sits discretely inside your cabinet, and the lifetime guarantee reflects the engineering quality you'd expect from this Austrian manufacturer.

Closing Guidance

If you have wall cabinets where swing doors would be impractical, and your cabinet depth meets the 240mm minimum, these mechanisms offer a reliable solution for comfortable daily access.
