General Information
Customers asked these questions about AVENTOS HK-S Opening Angle Stop | 75° & 100°
Answers from experts.
Blum AVENTOS is a family of lift systems for wall cabinets that open upward instead of swinging outward on side hinges. This keeps the cabinet front above your head while it's open, providing unobstructed access to the cabinet contents and making kitchens feel safer, more ergonomic and visually streamlined. Different AVENTOS models are available to suit a wide range of cabinet heights, door styles and design preferences.
Choosing the Right System
Which AVENTOS lift system is best for my cabinets?
The right AVENTOS system depends on your cabinet height, front weight, available ceiling clearance and the type of opening motion you prefer. Blum offers folding, swing-up, lift-up and stay-lift options, allowing cabinet makers to select a solution that matches both the technical requirements and the overall kitchen design.
Design & Lifestyle
Is AVENTOS worth it compared to standard cabinet hinges?
Many homeowners consider AVENTOS a worthwhile upgrade because it improves both usability and aesthetics. Lift systems keep cabinet doors out of the way while cooking or preparing meals, reduce the chance of bumping into open doors and contribute to a premium, contemporary kitchen appearance.
Installation
Can AVENTOS be installed on existing cabinets?
Some existing wall cabinets can be upgraded if their construction and dimensions are compatible. However, retrofitting often requires cabinet modifications and careful planning. For the best result, AVENTOS is usually specified during the design or renovation stage.
Performance
Do AVENTOS doors stay open on their own?
Yes. When correctly adjusted, the lift mechanism holds the cabinet front securely in the desired open position, making it easier to access stored items without needing to support the door.

AVENTOS systems are engineered for long-term daily use using Blum's precision motion technology. With proper installation and simple routine cleaning, they provide smooth, reliable performance for many years.
Compatibility
Can AVENTOS be used with handleless kitchens?
Yes. Many AVENTOS lift systems are compatible with Blum motion technologies such as TIP-ON and SERVO-DRIVE, depending on the specific model, making them suitable for modern handleless kitchen designs.
