Touch and lift door hardware?!

9/30/15       
Ben C Member

Thanks in advance guys.

I'm looking to source door hardware that touches to open(Blum tip-on), and lifts the door(Blum Aventos). Pretty sure I can't use
these two bits of hardware together because of the Aventos, but I gotta imagine someone has made a product that touches and lifts. My job is a modern styling with no handle hardware. Any ideas?

Thanks!
Ben

I did something similar a few years ago. The doors were aluminum frame with glass panels. I used Blum free-swing hinges, Stabilus Lift-O-Mat gas struts and generic magnetic touch latches. The key is getting the correct strut (based on weight of the door) and positioning the strut mount so the strut is exerting almost no tension on the door when it's closed. My doors were approx. 26"W x 12"H and I think I used one strut per door.

Cheers,
Pat

Blum has a servo Aventos. It's powered but does what you want. It also powers closed.

The Salice flap door hardware combined with Salice self opening “Push” hinges will do exactly what you are asking.

The lift kit is comprised of the lift arm mechanism, auxiliary Smove piston, door mounting plate and cover. The primary piston is selected according to the size and weight of the door. There is a top hinge kit ordered separately that includes Push to open hinges and mounting plates and the catch device. All screws and a mounting template are included. With a slight push on the door it will move to the full open position. To close, lower the door until the stay close latch engages.

For doors up to 16” one kit is required. This is ordered as either a left or right mount kit. For larger doors, 2 kits will be required (one left and one right).

Thanks much guys. Sorry I didn't see that sooner!

For a blum set it looks like its going to be $587 for just the servo(&parts) + the Aventos HK.
I have 1 MDF door that's 14"H X 40"W. It looks like from what I'm able to gather you only need one server drive. There is no direct literature on weight regarding the servo and its weight limits. Leo, given your experience, this should be adequate?

Dennis,

Thank you very much for the thorough response. Given I only have one door, what's the general price point of the package your proposing?

Thanks Pat! Good info. I was concerned about the tension of the compression unit. That and my mdf door is 14X40. Just worried about weight.

Thanks,
B

Sorry, I only have experience with the non servo and it sounds like it would work with the door weight. Not sure how the servo works and I haven't used it because of...well... the price.

Ben,

Depending on who your Salice distributor is, it will run you about $40.00 - $50.00.

BTW...instructions are also included in the kit. Just send me an email if you would like a full Salice technical catalog.

Ben, you can use the Aventos with servo drive. It will be touch to open and raise the door all the way up. It takes just a light touch and the door will raise up perfectly. I have used it on the HF. The servo drive part number for the HK is, 21KA000. You would also need the cover set and the power supply set. The power supply will power up to 20 openings I believe.

Ben, I forgot to mention that blum does make a servo drive brochure for the Aventos. In that brochure there are four different mechanisms for the HK depending on the weight of the door. They also give a formula for calculating which one you need. If you can't get your hands on the brochure you can get it on their website.

Actually it's not in the servo drive brochure, just the standard Aventos brochure. Sorry for any confusion.

  • WOODWEB is a professional industrial woodworking site. Hobbyist and homeowner woodworking questions are inappropriate.
  • Messages should be kept reasonably short and on topic, relating to the focus of the forum. Responses should relate to the original question.

  • Messages requesting private responses will be removed - Forums are designed to provide information and assistance for all of our visitors. Private response requests are appropriate at WOODWEB's Exchanges and Job Opportunities and Services.
  • Messages that accuse businesses or individuals of alleged negative actions or behavior are inappropriate since WOODWEB is unable to verify or substantiate the claims.
  • Posts with the intent of soliciting answers to surveys are not appropriate. Contact WOODWEB for more information on initiating a survey.
  • Excessive forum participation by an individual upsets the balance of a healthy forum atmosphere. Individuals who excessively post responses containing marginal content will be considered repeat forum abusers.
  • Responses that initiate or support inappropriate and off-topic discussion of general politics detract from the professional woodworking focus of WOODWEB, and will be removed.
  • Participants are encouraged to use their real name when posting. Intentionally using another persons name is prohibited, and posts of this nature will be removed at WOODWEB's discretion.

    WOODWEB's forums are a highly regarded resource for professional woodworkers. Messages and responses that are crafted in a professional and civil manner strengthen this resource. Messages that do not reflect a professional tone reduce the value of our forums.

    Messages are inappropriate when their content: is deemed libelous in nature or is based on rumor, fails to meet basic standards of decorum, contains blatant advertising or inappropriate emphasis on self promotion (return to top).

    Libel:   Posts which defame an individual or organization, or employ a tone which can be viewed as malicious in nature. Words, pictures, or cartoons which expose a person or organization to public hatred, shame, disgrace, or ridicule, or induce an ill opinion of a person or organization, are libelous.

    Improper Decorum:   Posts which are profane, inciting, disrespectful or uncivil in tone, or maliciously worded. This also includes the venting of unsubstantiated opinions. Such messages do little to illuminate a given topic, and often have the opposite effect. Constructive criticism is acceptable (return to top).

    Advertising:   The purpose of WOODWEB Forums is to provide answers, not an advertising venue. Companies participating in a Forum discussion should provide specific answers to posted questions. WOODWEB suggests that businesses include an appropriately crafted signature in order to identify their company. A well meaning post that seems to be on-topic but contains a product reference may do your business more harm than good in the Forum environment. Forum users may perceive your references to specific products as unsolicited advertising (spam) and consciously avoid your web site or services. A well-crafted signature is an appropriate way to advertise your services that will not offend potential customers. Signatures should be limited to 4-6 lines, and may contain information that identifies the type of business you're in, your URL and email address (return to top).

    Repeated Forum Abuse: Forum participants who repeatedly fail to follow WOODWEB's Forum Guidelines may encounter difficulty when attempting to post messages.

    There are often situations when the original message asks for opinions: "What is the best widget for my type of shop?". To a certain extent, the person posting the message is responsible for including specific questions within the message. An open ended question (like the one above) invites responses that may read as sales pitches. WOODWEB suggests that companies responding to such a question provide detailed and substantive replies rather than responses that read as a one-sided product promotion. It has been WOODWEB's experience that substantive responses are held in higher regard by our readers (return to top).

    The staff of WOODWEB assume no responsibility for the accuracy, content, or outcome of any posting transmitted at WOODWEB's Message Boards.
