Opinions on Horizontal Lift-Up Door Upper Cabinets?
Comments (12)I have 4 of them, and I find them very useful. I like the way they look, and the way they open means I can leave them open while cooking certain dishes and just take items from the cabinet as I work (pantry items). They're a great functional choice over a work surface. Two downsides--the hinges take up room inside the cabs and leave certain areas that can't be stuffed with stuff, and I have the Ferrari hinges (plus lots of extras that Ikea gave me when I complained). They do need adjustment and possibly replacement. I, too, have been caught holding a cabinet open with my own little head. mindstorm--is it a straight swap for the Blum Aventos? If you read this, can you provide more detailed information?...See MoreUpper Cabinet Pull Size
Comments (13)Controlfreakecs: glad you like the pulls. I thought they were reasonably priced. I actually got them cheaper through a local hardware store that just sells door and cabinet hardware than any online source. The local store sold them at 30% off retail and there was no shipping and handling charge. Also some of the online places didn't have the bigger sizes. So you might want to check a local specialty hardware store if you have one near your home. The handles seem to be a very nice quality. As far as sizes go, I actually used the 19 inch pull on my 36 inch drawers. The 24 inch drawers have 12 inch pulls. I have 10 inch pulls on 17 inch drawers. I have some drawers that are only 13 inches wide and those have the 6 inch pulls. What I was trying to do was keep various lengths all approximately the same proportion in relation to my drawer widths. Her is one more picture that shows the 24 inch, 36 inch and 17 inch drawers:...See MoreHorizontal Uppers
Comments (9)key words for your next web search : Blum Aventos There are three kinds of Aventos. The ones you may be thinking of are a single hinge. Instead of stacking three of them on top of each other, consider a couple other options. -- In this forum, someone posted a finished kitchen which used Blum Aventos HF HF are the kind that take two wall cabinet fronts and fold them up together. When you see the images on the Blum site, you might feel that this is a better use for you. I have this hardware also. There are three strengths of spring to choose from They each have a large range of tightening, so if you add extra handles larger than planned for you can keep on tightening the springs. They work very well. They are expensive. I like them. They hold the panels in mid air at any height wherever I stop them. Total control. I have six panels of frosted glass (on three wall cabinets, two fronts each). You can attach a ribbon to the back side of the lower panel. Then, when it swings up high and if it goes too high for you, you can reach the ribbon and pull it down. When back down, the ribbon is invisible. -- by the way, there are several other companies that compete against Blum. Hth...See MoreSpice pull out rack on upper cabinets?
Comments (9)I had a spice pull-out on my upper cabinets in my old kitchen, and it wasn't useful. The main problem was that a pull out that high was hard to see. It would have been much easier to see into a cabinet by either climbing on a cabinet or stool. The problem with a pull out at that height is that you can't see the top shelves very easily. This is hard for me to describe, but do a mock up of it and I think you'll get it. That said, I would not to let 4.5 in. go to waste in a small kitchen. You may get more use out of a regular door (rather than the rack.) That would still allow you to put spices inside or anything else. The benefit of a door rather than a pull out is that once you get to eye-level (by climbing on something!) you can see in quite easily. You could also shelves to create a vertical cabinet for a few trays. You'd be surprised at how much you can store in a small space....See MoreKathy Leigh
