This is Blum's mechanical push-to-open system for handleless cabinet doors. You touch the door lightly and it springs open. Push it back and it closes with a gentle click.

Where It Fits

The TIP-ON works inside any cabinet with handleless doors, from base units to wall cabinets. This grey version will blend with most cabinet interiors. It's particularly suited to contemporary kitchens where clean lines matter, but works just as well in traditional designs where you want the convenience without visible handles.

How It Works

The system sits inside your cabinet, connected to unsprung hinges. When you press the door, the mechanism catches and releases it forward about 10mm. This gives you enough grip to pull the door fully open. To close, you simply push the door back until it clicks shut. The magnetic catch option holds the door securely closed.

Why It Matters

Your hands are often full or messy in the kitchen. Being able to open a cabinet with your elbow or forearm while carrying something makes daily cooking much easier. It also means your door fronts stay cleaner since you're not constantly gripping the same spot.

Design Consideration

This works well when you want the visual simplicity of handleless doors but with reliable, mechanical operation. It's worth noting that everyone in your household will need to adjust to the push-to-open action. Some people prefer the immediate response of a handle, particularly on frequently used cabinets. This extended version suits larger doors over 1300mm wide.

Build Quality

The mechanism is made from nylon and engineered to Blum's standards with a lifetime guarantee. You get tool-free depth adjustment of up to 4mm forward or 1mm back, which helps your installer get the door alignment exactly right during fitting.

Options

This grey version comes as either a magnetic catch or bumper configuration depending on what your kitchen design requires. The system requires a 76mm drill depth and works with Blum's unsprung hinges.

Closing Guidance

Consider how you actually use your kitchen. If you're comfortable with push-to-open and want the clean look of handleless doors, this gives you a reliable mechanical solution that won't need batteries or electrical connections.
