Push to Open hinges

[Staplebrau]

Hi All,

Has anyone used these? looking to install them on some of my kitchen cupboard doors. I've seen some in B&Q, but not sure if anywhere else does them?

I also assuming they are fairly simple to fit as well.

Cheers,

Touch latch? not suitable for kitchen doors unless you have ordinary hinges as standard kitchen hinges are self closing defeating the touch latch mechanism.

Screwfix and ikea do them as will a lot of ironmongers, but echo what foxhole has mentioned regarding kitchen door hinges.

nice one thanks. Yes we've got soft close on some at the moment, but they dont work that well so was planning to replace with normal hinges as well.

cheers,

The ones in B&Q come complete with the magnetic latch and the correct hinges. Swap the door hinges over then fit the latch. Don't forget to remove your soft closers though.
Make sure that you have adjusted and levelled the doors before fitting the magnetic latches.
Ideal for doors without handles
