Hardware
Touch Latch
A spring-loaded hardware mechanism that allows a cabinet door to open with a gentle push — no knobs, pulls, or handles required. Touch latches are mounted inside the cabinet and use a push-to-open, push-to-close action. They are popular on contemporary and minimalist kitchen designs where a seamless, handleless door surface is desired. Touch latches maintain clean, uninterrupted door fronts while providing a satisfying tactile open-and-close experience.
In practice
Touch latches enable true handleless doors, but they conflict with soft-close hardware — the latch needs a firm press-and-release the damper resists. Choose one system per door.
Common questions
