What types of high lift hardware are available on the market?
High-lift fittings are essential components of cabinet doors and doors that, due to their design, often open beyond the normal height. They are particularly useful in kitchens and bathrooms, where space is often limited. There are various types of high-lift fittings on the market:
- Single-lift fitting: This type of high-lift fitting is equipped with only one lever arm. Although they are not as flexible as other fittings, they are a cost-effective option for cabinet doors.
- Folding lift fitting: Folding lift fittings consist of several link arms that allow a higher and wider opening. They are ideal for tall cabinets or wall cabinets, as they are supported at multiple points, making them more stable.
- Parallel lift fitting: With these fittings, the door moves upward parallel to the side of the cabinet. They are especially suitable for wide, heavy fronts.
- Swing lift fitting: Swing lift fittings ensure that the door first opens forward a little and then upward. This creates space for the door to open fully in rooms with low ceilings.
With the right selection and installation of high-lift fittings, you can make optimal use of the available space in your home.
