Style decisions
Choose How Your Cabinets Open
A handleless kitchen is defined by its opening detail. Grip rails, integrated finger pulls and push-to-open mechanisms do not feel the same in use. Ask your designer which systems suit the cabinetry being proposed and try the available examples before deciding.

Practical choices
Try the Opening Detail Before You Choose
Open a drawer and a tall cupboard, not just a small display door. Consider grip, reach and how the mechanism feels with the items you use most often.
Discuss appliance doors and any changes of direction in the cabinetry. Confirm the opening system and finish in the product specification rather than assuming every door uses the same mechanism.
