vratenza 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2011 My kitchen cabinet's handle-less doors need to use such mechanism to operate... Here's a diagram on how it's installed and used: Essentially, when you close the door softly, the magnetic portion will attract the metal plate installed on the door itself. Then you will have to press in to latch it close (1 click sound). When you want to open the door, you press on the door panel and it will unlatch (another click sound) and the spring inside the mechanism will push the door out so that it creates a gap for u to get a grip on the edge of the door to pull it open. My ID calls them "Tic-Tac" doors....i guess it comes from the sound these doors make during operation. The ones supplied by my ID...very similar in structure but in white: The problem is that the ones supplied seem quite flimsy and the feel of the mechanism in operation (ie. the latch and unlatching portion) is iffy....i failed to open the door in 1 smooth action 1/2 the time i tried.... Is there any better brands or models out there that someone can recommend? It need to handle very tall cabinet doors ~2.8m height... Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
