Hinged doors
Opening angle, weight and a nearby wall affect hinge choice and gaps between fronts.
Hinges, drawer runners and sliding systems are felt every day even when hidden. Choosing them for door weight, opening space and expected use keeps a fine finish from covering an awkward piece of furniture.
Before selecting a brand or accessory, we establish what moves, how much it carries and the clearance in front. Fittings follow that brief.
Opening angle, weight and a nearby wall affect hinge choice and gaps between fronts.
Runners are selected for width, depth and load. A shallow cutlery drawer and a pan drawer make different demands.
The mechanism must fit inside the unit and allow access for adjustment and maintenance.
Shoe racks, trays and dividers are added where they make use simpler, rather than to fill a catalogue of extras.
The product specification must suit its intended use.
The model or at least range and purpose of major fittings should be identified. “Soft close” alone says little about load, travel or adjustment.
A tall heavy front may need a different hinge configuration from a small one. We size the full assembly before choosing the mechanism.
Adjusting doors and drawers after installation is part of the work. We also leave access for any later regulation.

Sometimes. Hole positions, dimensions and the supporting board must be checked before compatibility can be promised.
By size, load, travel and opening method. Drawer construction and runner are planned together.
A photo open and another closed help us assess clearance and suggest suitable mechanisms.
