Description
TYPE W WIND Lift System Push-Open For Cabinets
TYPE W WIND lift system push-open is a Salice America free swing lift mechanism designed for cabinet doors, providing smooth upward movement for overhead storage runs. It can be used with doors as small as 8-5/8 inches tall, so it suits compact upper cabinets where space is tight but full access is still needed. The mechanism can be mounted to the side or the top of the cabinet, giving flexibility when you are working around interior obstacles or existing casework. It can be used for very wide doors by simply adding additional mechanisms, which helps support heavier fronts and reduces stress on the cabinet construction. Simple motion speed adjustment after installation lets you fine-tune door opening behavior on site, helping dial in the feel to match door size and weight. Height, depth, and side adjustments by automatic cam support accurate alignment across a run, keeping reveals uniform with controlled effort.
Key WIND Lift System Details For Cabinet Projects
- Can be used with doors as small as 8-5/8 inches tall, so even shallow wall cabinets can use an upward-opening front without changing the basic case height.
- Can be mounted to the side or the top of the cabinet, allowing the installer to choose the fixing surface that best matches the cabinet construction and internal layout.
- Can be used for very wide doors by simply adding additional mechanisms, spreading the lifting load across more points for better support of large or heavy doors.
- Simple motion speed adjustment after installation lets you tune the opening and closing action in the field, which helps handle varying door weights and user preferences.
- Height, depth, and side adjustments by automatic cam give three-way alignment control at the mechanism, reducing time spent repositioning the cabinet or drilling new holes.
- Attached to the door using a standard 35mm bore, so it works with the same boring pattern used for common concealed hinges in cabinet shops.
- Multiple cover cap color choices allow the visible covers to coordinate with cabinet interiors or hardware finishes for a more consistent appearance.
Lift System Mounting And Adjustment In Cabinet Work
The Salice WIND lift system can be mounted to the side or the top of the cabinet, so it fits both framed and frameless construction styles with different rail or panel layouts. Attached to the door using a standard 35mm bore, it matches typical hinge boring operations, allowing doors to be prepared using the same machinery and jigs already in the shop. Height, depth, and side adjustments by automatic cam put fine tuning at the mechanism, which helps correct minor drilling or casework variations without rebuilding parts. Simple motion speed adjustment after installation lets you refine how quickly the free swing door travels, which is useful when matching operation across multiple cabinets in a run.
Using The Salice WIND Free Swing System In Practice
Where This WIND Lift System Fits Best
This Salice America WIND lift system, TYPE W WIND lift system push-open, is designed for free swing cabinet doors that open upward, supporting overhead storage runs. It can be used with doors as small as 8-5/8 inches tall, positioning it well for shorter wall cabinets or cabinets installed above appliances where clearance is limited. Because it can be used for very wide doors by simply adding additional mechanisms, it handles longer fronts such as wide wall units or multi-door spans built as a single front, distributing lifting forces along the width. The option to mount to the side or the top of the cabinet makes it adaptable for varying cabinet constructions, whether the installer is working with thick side panels, substantial top panels, or specific internal layouts around shelves and dividers. Multiple cover cap color choices give flexibility when coordinating visible hardware with different interior finishes, which helps maintain a consistent visual line in open cabinets.
Adjustment Features That Support Repeatable Results
Height, depth, and side adjustments by automatic cam are built into this WIND free swing lift mechanism, giving three dimensions of control after the main mounting points are fixed. That adjustment range helps align doors accurately across a long cabinet run, compensating for small case variations so reveals stay even and corners stay flush. Simple motion speed adjustment after installation means the installer can set the opening behavior based on actual door weight and user expectations, rather than relying on a single factory setting. Attached to the door using a standard 35mm bore, the system integrates with common boring patterns, which supports repeatable fabrication using standard line-boring or hinge-boring equipment across multiple projects. Being part of the Salice WIND lift systems product class under Salice America gives it a consistent design language with other WIND components, which is useful when standardizing hardware choices for a shop or commercial program.
