Cabinet lift mechanism Opening configuration to investigate Buying considerations
BLUM Fold Lift Mechanism Folding upward-opening cabinet-front applications Confirm the specific BLUM model, door configuration, cabinet dimensions, front weight and required mounting parts against the manufacturer's instructions.
BLUM Stay Lift Mechanism Upward-opening cabinet-front applications using a stay-lift mechanism Check the specific model's supported door size and weight, mounting clearances, compatible hinges or accessories, and installation instructions.

How do I choose a lift mechanism for a kitchen wall cabinet?

Start with the intended door movement and the exact cabinet opening. Measure cabinet width, height and depth; determine the door material and weight; and check clearance above and in front of the cabinet. Do not assume that a mechanism fits every wall cabinet or that all mounting components are included. Verify the product's actual BLUM specifications before ordering or installing.

What else should I check?

Confirm whether the door is a single front or a folding front, whether nearby ceilings, crown moulding or other cabinets restrict movement, and whether the product requires separate accessories. If the installation is part of a new kitchen, plan the lift hardware alongside wall cabinets, cabinet hinges and cabinet hardware and accessories. For cabinet dimensions, consult the kitchen measuring guide.

Compatibility note: This category guide does not certify compatibility with a particular cabinet or door. Use the manufacturer's model-specific technical documentation and the selected product listing before purchasing.
