A guide to True Handleless Kitchens and True Handleless Rail installations.

Base Unit Configurations

Base units with True Handleless installations use different door and drawer front sizes to standard installations. Drawer fronts are 160, 325 or 490mm high. Doors are 490 or 685mm high. Widths are as normal. The unit gables are routered to accept the top and mid rails and the rails are held in position with securing brackets at either end.  True Handleless rails can be used with dummy drawerline using a 160mm high drawer front but the drawer front will need to be fixed to the cabinet as a dummy drawer, using dummy drawer clips. You can not attach the drawer front to the door when using True Handleless rails. The following four base cabinet configurations are available:

Wall Unit Configurations

Wall units use standard height and width doors for True Handleless rail installations. The base panel of the wall unit is recessed and has a groove cut into it to take the wall unit rail which gives finger access behind the bottom edge of the door.

Larder Unit Configurations

Vertical rails are available for larder units. These are available as either an intermediate rail to go between two units allowing opening of doors either side or a lateral rail to go at the end of a run or between units allowing door opening on one side only. In either case a 35mm gap is required between the two units or, in the case of an end unit, between the unit and the end panel. You must allow for these 35mm gaps when planning your kitchen. Intermediate rails can be fitted to both sides of a unit if required. When purchasing the units, the kitchen builder will allow you to select which side(s) the rail is required. The diagrams below show the lateral and intermediate rail installations.

Appliance Fillers

When mounting appliances such as ovens into tall units with vertical rails (intermediate or lateral), an appliance filler is available to fill the gap between the oven front plate and the rail. The filler can be drilled if necessary (by the installer) to take appliance mounting screws.
