The PINELLO is a push-to-open mechanism that allows you to open drawers and doors with a gentle press, rather than using handles or knobs. When you push the front of a drawer or door, this spring-loaded device releases the catch and pushes it open just enough for you to grip and pull it fully out.

Where It Fits

This works particularly well in modern kitchens where you want clean, uninterrupted lines across your cabinetry. You'll often see it used on handleless drawer fronts, tall unit doors, or anywhere you want to maintain a minimal aesthetic without visible hardware.

How It Works

The mechanism sits inside your cabinet, hidden from view. When you press the drawer or door front, the spring mechanism releases and gently pushes the front outward by about 15mm, giving you enough space to grip and open it fully. A second push closes it back into place.

Why It Matters

Beyond the clean look, push-to-open can be genuinely practical when your hands are full or wet. You can open a drawer with your hip or elbow when carrying plates or cooking. It also means no handles to catch on clothing or bags as you move around your kitchen.

Design Consideration

Push-to-open works best when you have consistent, firm pressure across the entire front. It's less suitable for very wide drawers where the mechanism might be positioned off-centre, or if you prefer the tactile feedback of a handle. Some people find it takes a moment to adjust to the push-and-wait action compared to simply pulling a handle.

Build Quality

The PINELLO features a zinc construction and comes with a lifetime guarantee, reflecting its robust mechanical design. The spring mechanism is engineered to maintain consistent performance through thousands of opening cycles.

Consider how you actually use your kitchen storage and whether the clean aesthetic of handleless fronts matches how you cook and move around the space.
