A premium, push-activated slide/hinge system that reveals a seamless, handle-free door in high-end kitchens and interiors.
The mechanism combines multi-stage slides, an ejector cam and a locking block to deliver a precise pop-open
action with tight tolerances and a totally hidden presentation line.
Create a push-to-open mechanism that keeps the door leaf perfectly flush with premium fronts,
opens with a light press, and locks on re-closure without visible hardware. The system must
survive daily use in luxury kitchens, be quiet, and be tolerant to cabinet build variation.
Solution
Twin rail architecture with end blocks and a cross-strut for torsional stiffness.
Push-ejector nose converts a short press into controlled extension (cam/over-centre spring set).
Locking slide block re-engages on closure for a tight, rattle-free seam.
Low-friction bearing packs and precision stamped rails for smooth motion and long life.
Soft-close add-on (optional damper) clips to the carriage without changing the cabinet drilling pattern.
Engineering Notes
Slide rail sections optimised for deflection under full-width stone/wood doors.
Fatigue testing of the ejector spring and pawl geometry; >100k cycles target.
DFM/DFA for zinc die-cast end blocks and stainless rails; fasteners reduced to 3 sizes.
Tolerancing scheme allows ±0.6 mm cabinet spread without mis-latch.
Opening force
~12–18 N press
Cycle life
>100,000 cycles (target)
Face reveal
0.0–0.5 mm flush
