Push-catches are perfect to use if you’re going for a minimalist, handle-free look. They offer an easy way to open and close your cabinetry doors, and are extremely simple to install. U-Install-It uses Blum Tip-On push catches, which come with a lifetime warranty.
In your U-Install-It delivery you will receive a Blum Tip-On push catch packet, a screw on adapter plate and cover, and screws.
How-To Install Push Catches
- Mark out the location of the push catch on your cabinet
For a double door cabinet, use a square ruler to mark the location (approximately 25mm from the centre of the doors). For a single door cabinet, this will be approximately 25mm from the inner edge of the cabinet, on the opposite side to the hinges.
- Mark 20mm back from the front of the cabinet on the locations you have marked
This gives you the location of the front screw on the adapter plate
- Using your markers, install the adapter plates using the supplied screws
The adapter plate has arrows, which point to the front of the cabinet
- Click the adapter plate cover into place
Ensure the ridges at the back, and the logo at the front.
- Slide the push catch mechanism in
Ensure you complete this on all adapter plates.
- Place the metal magnetic pad against the push catch
Ensure to remove the tape revealing the sticky side facing out.
- Close the door
The magnet will stick to the inside of your door, aligned with the push catch.
