Thin fronts,
easily assembled
The first fixing system for thin fronts
for lift systems, doors and pull-outs

 Rediscover simplicity
Minimalist design creates room for inspiration. Broaden the range of
possibilities for implementing trends in kitchen manufacturing.
The first fixing system for thin fronts for lift systems, doors, drawers and
pull-outs makes minimalist cabinetry design simple.

 Easily implemented:
three applications
We have developed a fixing system that you can use to implement a total of
three applications: lift systems, doors and pull-outs. Cabinetry impresses with
thin fronts and proven Blum functionality – in all living areas.

 An easily assembled system
Our new products for thin fronts are based on EXPANDO T. A steel pull-in
anchor ensures a secure fit for harder materials while plastic jaws secure the fit
for softer materials. EXPANDO T is fixed in a drilling with a diameter of 10 mm
and a drilling depth of just 6 mm.

Assembly without boss drilling

EXPANDO T is fastened in a drilling with a
diameter of 10 mm and a drilling depth of just
6 mm. There is no need for any boss drilling –
which is a major plus when using hard materials.

 Assembly made easy
Lift system, door and pull-out – with the new fixing system all cabinetry with
thin fronts will have one thing in common: assembly and adjustment are simple
and convenient. Drill, insert, secure with screws, and that’s it.

With the new fixing mechanism

from CLIP top BLUMOTION for
thin doors, we have succeeded
in integrating the BLUMOTION
functionality into hinges – with-
out any need for a hinge boss.
Cabinetry with inner pull-outs
can be implemented with this
hinge because of
zero-protrusion.

8
Chosen lift system types –
AVENTOS HK top, HS and HL –
can be implemented with the fix-
ing system for thin fronts – with
an unchanged fixing position.

The narrow design of

LEGRABOX drawers and pull-
outs is accentuated to full effect.
Because of identical fixing
positions it takes very little time
to assemble the front.

9
 Easily combined materials
Our fixing system EXPANDO T for thin fronts from 8 mm is suitable
for many materials and even allows for exceptional design ideas.
Surprise your customers with customised cabinetry.
