When buying new furniture, many newcomers are reminded of fashion. Although furniture is a long-term purchase, it must still correspond to the fashion on the day of purchase. The facades of the wardrobes make up a large proportion of the vertical areas of the room. And the fashion for them now does not allow excesses. This means that all accessories on the doors fall under the fashion prohibition. And these are not just beautiful pieces of iron, but handles that are taken to open or close the cabinet door. And the landlord wonders - is he worth the risk and ordering cabinets without handles?

What's good without pens
People are used to the fact that almost all doors have handles. But the handles stick out, take up space. Although small, you can catch on to them, and in a hurry you can earn a bruise or scratches. Especially if the aisles in the apartment are narrow (which is not uncommon), and the handles are pretentious. If the surface of the handle is not smooth, but with a relief pattern, then over time all the recesses will be clogged with dirt. It is very difficult to launder and clean such a piece of art. And dirt builds up around the handle on the door. The smooth, unoccupied door can be easily wiped down with a rag, and the handle gets in the way.
Cabinet without handles
If there is no handle on the door, which you can grasp with at least two fingers and pull towards yourself, then the question arises - how to open this door? Constructors and designers have come up with a solution - you need to lightly press on it. After all, it often happens that both hands are busy, and you need to put something in the closet. There is nothing to grab and pull - your hands are busy, but you can press with your elbow, fist, knee, even your forehead. A specially designed mechanism is built into the door. For the first time such mechanisms were developed in Germany, many firms make them now, and they have an appropriate price.
For mods, there is a choice. If the only question is that the handles do not spoil the appearance and the overall picture, then there are options. Handles can be made of the same material and color as the door trim, and even small. You can work on the configuration of the door, make notches or chamfers. But you still have to grab onto something and pull. The built-in opening mechanism fundamentally changes human actions. This is a wonderful and rather complex product of the work of engineering. The initial movement of the door after pressing is performed by the mechanical part of the equipment, and the door opens by about one third. The electric drive brings it to full opening. Closing implements the same mechanism from a push to the other side. If there is an obstacle in the path of the door during movement, the mechanism will stall.
Such doors are very convenient in the kitchen, where the hands of the hostess are often busy. But if fashion demands, then this principle can be implemented in other areas of the apartment. The fashion for smooth facades is now dominant. Push-to-press door opening systems have names TIP-ON Push-to-open. By the way, the absence of fittings allows you to save a significant amount.
Mortise built-in handles have two advantages - they are located in the plane of the facade, do not spoil the appearance and allow you to easily open the doors without installing a complex expensive mechanism. The modern fashionable style is preserved and extra money is not spent on expensive mechanisms.
Opening methods
There are three types of push / open mechanisms:
- Built into furniture hinges.
- Fitted in drawer guides.
- Stop-latch, which is attached to the cabinet wall.
When it comes to drawers, the Push-to-Open Silent damping system is recommended.
You can pull not by the small handle, but by the entire facade. To do this, an aluminum profile with a recess for a grip is installed on the edge of the box or door. It does not go beyond the plane.
Modern technology makes it possible to implement completely exotic solutions. Touch control assumes control of cabinet doors and large interior doors by a wave of the hand, by a voice command. At the same time, a certain light scenario is turned on, illuminating the contours of the door, the inside of the cabinet and other tricks.
Conclusion
Installing cabinets without handles is undoubtedly a risk. It is advisable to look at such furniture at exhibitions. Find out from those familiar with operating experience how it works in real conditions. Then think over everything carefully - and only after that make a decision.
