Push Pull, Tip-On and Servo-Drive: a guide to handleless opening systems

Handleless furniture has become a defining trend in contemporary kitchen design. Clean lines, uninterrupted surfaces and a minimalist look are increasingly in demand — and innovative opening systems make all of this possible.

Among the most widely used solutions are Push Pull, Tip-On and Servo-Drive. These technologies allow doors and drawers to open with nothing more than a light press, eliminating the need for handles and keeping the kitchen front clean and seamless.


Push Pull: the mechanical solution for hinged doors

Push Pull relies on a mechanical piston integrated into the cabinet side. A gentle tap on the door activates the piston, pushing the door forward and allowing it to open.

Key points

  • ideal for hinged doors (wall units, base units, tall units)

  • eliminates the need for handles

  • does not require soft-close hinges or bumpers

  • must be specified at the ordering stage

This makes Push Pull a simple and reliable way to achieve a fully handleless look on vertical doors.


Tip-On: push-to-open for drawers and lift-up units

Tip-On refers to a range of systems that allow fronts to open through pressure, without any electrical components.

TIP-ON

Tip-On for drawers

The mechanism is fitted beneath standard runners — no tools required.
A light press on the drawer front releases it just enough to grab and pull.

A synchronisation rod ensures smooth, even motion across both runners.

Tip-On for lift-up fronts

Tip-On can also be used on lift-up wall units.
Pressing the centre of the front triggers a piston that partially opens it, making it easy to lift manually.
Closing is also manual.


Tip-On Blumotion: mechanical opening meets soft-close comfort

Tip-On Blumotion combines two features that are often separate:
→ push-to-open mechanics
→ soft-closing comfort

Why choose it

  • seamless handleless look

  • smooth, silent closing

  • no electronics

  • ideal for premium kitchens

This hybrid system delivers a refined user experience without compromising on aesthetics.


Servo-Drive: electrically assisted opening

For those seeking even greater comfort, Servo-Drive adds an electric motor to the opening and closing process.

How it works

  • tap the front and the motor lifts it automatically

  • press the button integrated in the cabinet to close

  • in case of power failure, the unit can still be operated manually

Servo-Drive requires a dedicated transformer, supplied with the cabinet.
