Handleless Kitchen Cabinets Buying Guide

Handleless cupboards can adapt our selection of slab or shaker designs into a linear style that requires no handles, giving you more choice when creating this on-trend look in your home. Available in white or light-grey oak, these units are specially manufactured to accommodate a decorative trim, commonly found in linear looks, and provides a small gap between the door and the frame to open it. This can be found at the top of base cupboards, between drawers or along the side of towers.

A Handleless cabinet is simple to fit thanks to its specialist, pre-cut design and supporting bracket. A builder can simply fix the bracket to the cupboard, and then a profile of choice is clipped into place. The profiles can be installed under a counter and along the side of tower and larder units, creating long lines that are characteristic of linear designs. Some cupboard styles can accommodate a mid-profile too, when there is a working drawer. For schemes that do not have a mid-profile, a push-to-open mechanism can be fitted to open the bottom unit, allowing easy access to its contents.

Besides speeding up fitting time when creating a linear look, there are a variety of cabinet styles and profiles to choose from, making it easy to achieve a completely bespoke linear design in a home. It is also more affordable than other linear kitchens, as it is available on a wider range of styles, allowing you to customise the look to any shape, size and budget. Finally, these handleless cabinets come with the same 25-year guarantee as our standard units, so you can be sure they are built to last.

With its lacquered finish, Hockley will offer an ultra-luxe look when paired with our handleless cupboards, and comes in white, dove-grey, and slate-grey shades. Black and brushed aluminium profiles are available and can be placed below counters, along drawer packs for a mid-profile and on towers. Corners are also available to wrap the profile around cabinet edges for a premium look.

If muted and minimal is the design of choice, switch up Hockley Super Matt in dove grey or slate grey into a handleless design by using these custom cupboards. With black and brushed aluminium profiles to choose from, these decorative trims can be added beneath counters, along towers, across mid-sections, and on corners too for a full linear effect.

For a subtler finish than the mirror effect, Greenwich Gloss in white, pebble, dove grey, grey, and slate grey can be adapted to create a glossy handleless look. Black or brushed aluminium profiles can be fitted beneath the counter and vertically on towers, while mid-profiles are unavailable with this design. A push-to-open device is needed if you have opted for drawer units.

Under-counter and tower profiles are essential to ensure your design works. A mid-profile can only be fitted on a working drawer with our Hockley doors, which are smaller in height.

Both the black and brushed-aluminium profiles come in two different depths, with the deeper size specially designed for mid-profiles that span drawers and larders.

An in-fill profile is available for when built-in devices are installed into towers. These profiles cover sharp edges and provide a flat surface to secure equipment to.

Our ventilation profile must be installed with under-counter cooking devices to allow hot air to escape, and to prevent equipment from overheating.

Corner profiles are available to create a continuous design around cabinet corners for premium look, or when the drawer profile runs up to an integrated cleaning device.

End caps are also available in matching black and brushed finishes to complete the look of a profile at the end of the bank of cabinets.
