Handle Alternatives for Alsert Doors
Because of the nature of the materials used in the manufacture of Alsert Doors, handle selection and positioning can require extra thought. In this section, we will demonstrate handle alternatives and introduce our new integrated handle.
You can also watch the video that will guide you through all the different handle options for Alsert Doors
No Handle look
The no handle look achieved here is created by increasing the height of the door by 10 mm or more. The overhang below the carcass acts as a handle.
Drilling of the door profile, or insert, is not required.
Of course, this is not practical for floor unit doors, pantry doors or drawer fronts and can only be used if no other door or panel abuts the handle edge.
All profiles/frames are suitable for this handle method.
Touch to Open
Alsert doors, or your hardware distributor, can supply “touch to open” fittings specially designed for the opening and closing of cupboard doors, pantry doors and drawer fronts.
This fitting is inserted into the edge of the carcass.
“Touch to open – push to close”.
Drilling of the door, or insert, is not required.
The “Touch to open” fitting is not suitable for doors using gas struts or microwave doors, up & over doors, sliding doors or bi-fold doors but will operate with the spring flap door.
All profiles/frames are suitable for this handle method.
Integrated clear anodised handles
We have engineered and released clear anodised integrated handles. These integrated handles are designed and manufactured with cutting-edge technology and craftsmanship.
They are safer, smoother and more stylish than anything else on the market. Suitable for box profiles and most hardware applications, they can be placed anywhere on the door, horizontally or vertically, but not within 60 mm of any corner.
The handles are 35 mm, 147 mm and 197 mm long.
Integrated handles are pre-fitted by Alsert so positional measurements are required when ordering.
You may consider using the clear anodised finish as a contrast to other Alsert Doors profile finishes.
The integrated handles are suitable for most hardware applications such as Lift Up Bi-folds, Hinged doors, Spring Flap doors, Up & Over doors, Sliding Bi-Fold doors and Microwave doors. Even Drawer fronts.
Note:- Integrated handles are not suitable for flat or curved profiles/frames.
Standard Handles - fixing
Handles can be fixed to Alsert Aluminium Doors in three different ways: through the profile/frame only, through the insert and profile/frame or through the insert only.
Through the insert & profile/frame
50/00 mm, 50/08 mm and 50/19 mm box frames can be drilled through both the frame and insert.
Alsert can pre-drill holes in all toughened glass inserts.
All other glass, including mirrors, can't be drilled.
Inserts other than glass - acrylic, etc, - to be drilled by Installer.
All Profile/Frame holes to be drilled by Installer.
