How can you get that modern, handleless look that so many people want in the kitchens and bathroom cabinets these days? This short video from The Honest Carpenter--in collaboration with Lynnwood Builders--will explain the hardware that you need to achieve it?!

Here's How To Get HANDLELESS CABINETS!! ("No-Handle" Custom Modern Cabinets--Hardware Explained!)

In order to have a handleless cabinet assembly, you still need some way of operating the cabinets. Keep in mind, this does not include a lip or bar for opening the cabinets doors or drawers!

To get this look, Lynnwood Builders and Sunnyside Millwork use a combination of custom drawer slides and door hinges.

The drawer slides are a Blum product that allows for push-to-open and soft-close functions. These two capabilities really work against one another, so Blum's hardware is engineered to smoothly allow for both.

For push-to-open cabinet doors, Lynnwood uses Salice hinges, which have loaded springs that open the door to about 75%. They then use high-quality door magnets for the close-and-latch function.

On top of this custom hardware pairing, Lynnwood grain-matches their cabinet doors and drawers to create attractive, continuous surfaces.

I love that look. Just flush, seamless, smooth looking cabinetry. Beautiful!

[UndrGroundRappers]

I am a Union Custom Millworker in the city of Chicago. I install these headaches everyday. But I love what I do.

[lcook]

Just want to say I love and watch all your videos. So informative for diy’ers.

[David.M.]

The modern design is not my style, but I am impressed with their craftsmanship and quality. Thanks for showing us.

[firstmate]

These 'smooth operators' are a mother's dream. Imagine your fingers all covered in dough and you need a utensil in a drawer. My elbow or knee could take over and keep the drawer clean and sanitary.
Thanks Nathan, you provide such interesting Vlogs. PS: I still use my old pantyhose on my vacuum filters. You have the system I can only dream of.

[Faustustopheles]

This is exactly what I dream about for our home some day. When I visited my sister's apartment in Brasil several years ago, this is what she had and it looked amazing in her kitchen.

THANKS ETHAN 🤗 FOR HELPING US GET A HANDLE on handlelss cupboards 😁😉😍😍😍

[stephenmcgeown]

This is a great combination of clever, modern hardware with American high quality cabinetry. So inspiring to see.

[CleverWoodworks]

I would have to state whether or not new style cabinets are your thing, there are some great takeaways in this short video. The combination of hardware that you mentioned is a brilliant idea to use and not to forget the tension cassettes. Moreover, there is the classic finger joints that they employ along side a standard practice. I will have to see if any of this is available in the UK as a kitchen rebuild is approaching…. Thank you for sharing this content.

[coljter]

I really like this type of video, great job

[naps]

Tons of great design ideas in this video! More, more, more, please!!!

[chrisbrayley]

I love it and the next level of establishing your business with an edge

[ThePSTMAN]

Love to know more of how to set this up. Really like the clean look and feel of no visible hardware

[Toyotajunkie]

Thanks for the coverage of "new" technology! Another great video.
I absolutely hate those sinks, but I use mine to do more than trickle water on the tips of my fingers. Lol
The push to open combined with soft close in pretty cool indeed. But what I find most impressive are the window shades. I saw those a while back in an office building I was helping finish. To be "clean, " I'll just say, "They are the bee's knees!"
Beautiful cabinetry work also!

[massiminimakes]

Those are very interesting and look really nice and clean. Is the soft close necessary? I have push-to-open drawers in my entertainment center, and they are also push-to-close using a similar magnet system. The soft close does make things more intuitive, but it can be done without it.

[BillPalmer]

I have handleless cabinets and drawers in my kitchen. I don’t know why anybody would really want them.
The doors provide no clue which side the hinge is on, so until you learn each door, you don’t know which way it will open. For the drawers you’re trying to grab the edge to get the drawer open, which dirties the area around it. For flushones, will guests be able to intuitively operate them? Maybe.

[MBMCincy]

I'm not sure I like the sleek look. But I am totally 👍👍 10/10 about the engineering, mechanical parts. Thanks again Ethan.

[angellas.]

LOVE IT! Can you show us more details? As you stated? I’d also love to hear what the builder was saying in your video! Thanks, and please share more innovations, such as this.

[tothebeatofmydrum]

I commissioned a local carpenter to create a fairly traditional bespoke pine sideboard. Since there were 5 cupboard doors (a double and 2 singles) I didn't fancy looking at asymmetry, so went to a kitchen joinery store and sourced some magnetic hinges similar to those featured in vid. Worked a treat. It put the 'fun' into functional! 😁

Thank you for your clear and concise vids, they are truly splendid. Thanking the universe for finally stumbling across your content, last night!! Better late than never. Immediately subscribed after watching the "2power tools you need" vid.

Greetings and gratitude from sunny Yorkshire. 😊

I have the Blum push to open and soft close cabinetry hardware in my kitchen. Absolutely love them. Always opening drawers and cabinets with elbows, knees and toes with hands full of stuff.
