Can I retrofit my kitchen cabinet with lift-up fittings?
Yes, you can easily retrofit your kitchen cabinet with lift-up fittings. Lift-up fittings are practical because they provide better access to your cabinet contents and make opening and closing the cabinet doors easier.
To retrofit, you only need the right lift-up fittings for your cabinet type and a basic set of tools. Please follow these steps:
- First, measure your cabinet to determine the correct size of the lift-up fittings. Take into account both the height and the width of the cabinet door.
- Then remove the existing hinges from your cabinet door.
- Now install the lift-up fittings according to the instructions provided. As a rule, you mount them on the sides of the cabinet and the inside of the cabinet door.
- Once the lift-up fittings are installed, hang the cabinet door back in place and make the fine adjustments. This allows you to regulate the speed at which the door opens and closes.
Please note that lift-up fittings are not suitable for all cabinet sizes. They work best with tall upper kitchen cabinets.
