Hi,
saw ages ago (somewhere ?) a fitted kitchen without any handles, but it
had fittings on the doors / drawers so you pushed them in and the
popped out so you could open them.

If I didnt dream this, can you buy such fittings ? are they any good ?

If I didnt dream this, can you buy such fittings ? are they any good ?

Easily obtained. I think I saw some in B&Q. Even if not, you shouldn't have
too much difficulty finding some.

doors but are not handles" brings back as many results as you imagine .

"For use on loft hatches."
they look about the right size, although I cant imagine a loft needing
to push shut / push open ...

They are for when you have a downward opening hatch for use with a
folding loft ladder. Avoids having any thing visible on the room side
of the hatch. The you keep a piece of broom handle in the room for
prodding the hatch to open or close it.

That's how Dad's loft hatch worked. And Mum's come to think of it. Shove
the hatch and it cracks you on the bonce.

The one issue with these is they sit closed a few mm open, they have to
else they wouldnt work. The other is that if your mechanism gets stiff
they wont work.
