The Hettich Push-to-Open Synchronization Connector links the push-to-open mechanism to the synchronization system so both sides of a wide drawer eject and travel together — a dedicated component for handle-less cabinet builds where smooth, even drawer movement is non-negotiable.
Wide drawers — kitchen pot drawers, deep wardrobe pull-outs, or any drawer where the box spans well beyond a standard width — are the primary application. Without synchronization, push-to-open force applied at the center of the drawer front can cause one side to lead the other, producing a cocked drawer that sticks or derails. This connector closes that gap by tying the push-to-open trigger to the synchronization rod, so the ejection stroke travels evenly from left rail to right rail. It belongs in any Hettich push-to-open installation where the drawer width makes racking a real concern, and in handle-less kitchen designs where visible hardware on the drawer face is not an option.
The connector is molded in gray, matching the color palette common across Hettich's drawer system accessories so it does not stand out against other system parts inside the cabinet. As a connector — not a full synchronization rod or a drive unit — it is a precision-fit piece that bridges two functions: the spring-loaded push-to-open release and the synchronization rod that keeps the drawer tracking straight. The gray housing is durable enough for the enclosed cabinet environment and the repeated cycle loads a push-to-open system sees over its service life.
Cabinet shops running Hettich push-to-open drawer systems on wide drawer builds are the primary buyers. It also suits kitchen designers and installers specifying handle-less fronts where the touch-release motion has to feel controlled and centered — not lopsided. If the synchronization rod is already in the build and the push-to-open mechanism is planned, this connector is the link between them. It is a Hettich system-specific part: it is not designed to connect to other brands' synchronization or push-to-open components.
It physically joins the push-to-open mechanism to the synchronization rod so that when the drawer front is pressed, both sides of the drawer release and travel together rather than one side leading.
No — this is the connector component only. The synchronization rod and push-to-open drive units are separate Hettich system parts and must be ordered to complete the assembly.
No. This connector is engineered for the Hettich drawer system. Synchronization and push-to-open components are brand- and series-specific and do not interchange with other manufacturers' hardware.
It is most critical on wider drawers where racking from an off-center push is a real risk. Narrower drawers in the same run may not require synchronization, but confirm with your Hettich system specification before deciding.
When touch-release motion has to feel as controlled at the edge of a wide drawer as it does at the center, this connector is the part that makes it happen — quietly, inside the cabinet, exactly where it belongs.
