Follow our step-to-step guide on how to install your push to open mechanisms without all the fuss.
Supplies you will need:

Step 1: Identify the location of the push to open mechanism
The cabinet type and location will determine the setting needs for the mechanism. Base cabinets require the mechanism to be installed on the top of the cabinet across the support railing. Wall cabinets require the mechanisms to be installed on the bottom of the cabinet. While, pantries require the mechanisms to be installed on the support rail of the fixed shelf.
Step 4: Adjust to suit your cabinet.
The depth adjustment feature ensures reliable and consistent closing. Rotate the end of the push latch mechanism to test what works best for your cabinet. The push latch has a depth adjustment from +4.5 / - 1mm.

Step 2: Attach the mounting plates to the cabinet
The push latch is available with either a cruciform or linear mounting plate for an elegant finish. Determine which way you want the door to open, you can then place the hinge plate on the left or right side of the cabinet.

The auto alignment feature makes it easy to install and compensate for any inaccuracies in drilling.
Pro-Tip: There will be an arrow on the hinges which will face towards the front of the cabinet, once installed.
