The Actro YOU 40kg Push-To-Open Silent Opening System Set is a mechanical opening assembly for Hettich's AvanTech YOU drawer system, converting a handled drawer front to a clean, handle-less push-to-open design. The set works for both left-hand and right-hand configurations and is sized for drawers carrying loads up to 40kg (89 lb).
Handle-less drawer fronts are common in contemporary kitchen design, island cabinetry, and integrated appliance surrounds where visible hardware interrupts a flat-front aesthetic. Push-to-open lets those fronts stay clean on the outside while still opening with a single press. This set suits drawers in that application — kitchen base cabinets, pantry pull-outs, bath vanities, and built-in storage where a bar pull or knob would break the sightline. Because this is a mechanical system (not a damped soft-close combined unit), closing behavior comes from the Actro YOU runner's own Silent System soft-close — the push-to-open component handles ejection only.
This opening set is engineered for the AvanTech YOU and Actro YOU platform. Components from other Hettich series or other brands will not interchange with it. The mechanism is rated for a 40kg (89 lb) maximum drawer load and requires a minimum load of 23 lb to activate reliably — a nearly empty drawer may not trigger it consistently. If the drawer will run lighter than that threshold, a different opening solution is worth considering. Both left-hand and right-hand installations are covered by this set, so a single order equips one drawer regardless of the hinge side.
Cabinet shops building AvanTech YOU drawer packages for handle-less kitchens will add this set when the design calls for push-to-open fronts. Designers specifying integrated, hardware-free cabinetry routinely include a push-to-open system at the drawer level to match lift systems or push-to-open doors elsewhere in the project. Installers finishing a Hettich-based job who need the opening system after the fact will find the left-right flexibility useful when sourcing a single SKU for multiple drawer positions.
No. Push-to-open and soft-close are separate functions on this platform. The Actro YOU runner's Silent System handles the damped closing; this set adds the push-to-open ejection. The two work together when the runner already has Silent System — this set does not add or remove closing damping on its own.
No. This set is matched to the AvanTech YOU and Actro YOU platform. It is not compatible with other Hettich series or other brands' drawer systems.
The mechanism is designed to eject drawers loaded between 23 lb and 89 lb. A drawer carrying less than 23 lb may not activate reliably; a drawer exceeding 89 lb exceeds the mechanism's rated capacity. Match the drawer's expected loaded weight to that range before specifying this set.
Yes. The set accommodates both left-hand and right-hand orientations, so one order equips a single drawer installation regardless of which side the mechanism mounts to.
Adding this push-to-open set to an AvanTech YOU build delivers the handle-less look without sacrificing access — press the front, the drawer opens, and the Silent System runner brings it back to a quiet close.
