A couple of weeks ago my elderly father in law visited andjoined me in the kitchen as I prepared a snack for us. He asked if I needed andhelp so I suggested he could get some condiments from the cupboard next towhich he stood. He turned to open the cupboard but having no visible handle, hewas instantly confused as to how it should open. After a quick grumble about meneeding some handles fitting, I told him to simply push the door and it wouldpop open. He did this and was instantly amazed at how it worked. Ee it's goodthat innit! He exclaimed as he observed the magic magnetic catch.
I had to chuckle to myself, but my father in law is by nomeans the first person to be baffled by my handle free kitchen units. Id seenthem on several home design shows on the TV and loved the idea of having nohandles at all, so I found out who manufacture these stealthy latches and cameacross a company called Blum Hinges. Often these little innovations are vastlyover priced but I had to double check when I started costing for an entire newset of kitchen cabinet doors and drawers using Tip-On door latches from BlumHinges. Costing only a few pounds each, yet needing one or two for each doorand drawer meant the cost would build up significantly, however bearing in mindthat Id not be paying for door or drawer handles made them positivelyaffordable.
My new kitchen doors looked fantastic when first installedbut it took me a few days to get used to the fact there were no handles to grabhold of; I kept nearing the door or drawer ready to grasp hold of something,only realising at the last second that handles are a thing of the past. After afew days Id got used to giving each door or drawer a gentle push to open it,however most of my friends and some members of my family still struggle tobecome accustomed to this new and innovative way of opening my cabinet doorsand drawers. Admittedly they have mixed reactions from oh that's clever toI'd never get used to not having handles. Personally Id never go back tohaving handles on my kitchen doors and drawers because thanks to Blum Hinges, Ilove my sleek and streamlined kitchen; the only problem is finding somewhere tohang my tea towel!
