Hardware Resources has added the Vertical Lift System to its HR Max line of functional hardware. The Vertical Lift System lifts overhead cabinet doors straight up and keeps them in place instead of swinging out like traditional hinges. An adjustable stop holds the door open at 107 degrees, so overhead storage is easier to reach with nothing blocking the opening.
Designed for frameless wall cabinets in kitchens and garages, the lift uses a soft-close mechanism, so the door settles instead of slamming, and a built-in safety mechanism keeps the door from dropping while hands are full. The Vertical Lift System door closing speed is adjustable to accommodate different door weights and comes in two versions: the Medium-Duty Lift System for 5- to 13-pound doors and the Heavy-Duty Lift System for 11- to 22-pound doors. Both the Medium-Duty Lift System and the Heavy-Duty Lift System are tested to 10,000 cycles.
Each kit includes two vertical lift components, left and right decorative covers, installation hardware and instructions with a template.
HR Max is the select performance line of Hardware Resources functional hardware, including undermount slides, ball bearing slides, European hinges, compact hinges and metal drawer boxes. All HR Max products meet or exceed ANSI/BHMA standards in third-party testing and carry a lifetime warranty.
