This is Blum's mechanical touch-to-open system for handleless cabinet doors. A light push on the door face triggers the mechanism, which gently pushes the door open. To close, you simply press the door shut.

Where It Fits

The system works with any cabinet door in your kitchen, though this extended version is specifically designed for larger doors over 1300mm tall. It's ideal for handleless kitchen designs where you want clean, uninterrupted door faces.

How It Works

The TIP-ON unit sits inside your cabinet and connects to an unsprung hinge. When you press the door, the mechanism activates and pushes it open about 10-15mm, enough for you to grasp and pull it fully open. The system includes either a magnetic catch or bumper to keep doors securely closed.

Why It Matters

This gives you the convenience of handleless doors without the expense and complexity of electronic systems. Your hands can be full, wet, or messy and you can still open cabinets with just a gentle push using your elbow or hip.

Design Consideration

The system works well when you want the clean aesthetic of handleless doors but prefer a mechanical solution to electronic alternatives. However, it does require unsprung hinges, so your existing hinges may need replacing. The black matt finish means the internal mechanism will be visible when doors are open, though it's designed to blend with dark cabinet interiors.

Build Quality

The mechanism is made from nylon with a carbon black matt finish. Blum includes tool-free depth adjustment built into the unit, allowing for fine-tuning of 4mm forward or 1mm back. The system comes with a lifetime guarantee.

Closing Guidance

Consider this if you're planning handleless doors and want reliable, everyday functionality without electrical connections. The extended version suits taller doors, while the black finish works best with darker cabinet interiors where the mechanism will be less noticeable when doors are open.
