Q: How much do I need to push the drawer to open it?
Only a light push is needed to trigger these push-open mechanisms, about 1/16" of travel on the 2" size and 1/8" on the 3" size, before the spring-loaded piston pops the drawer open.

Easy to install, these mechanisms automatically open drawers or cabinet doors with just a light push. They work like the push-button on a ballpoint pen; push the drawer in (about 1/16" for the 2" size, 1/8" for the 3") and the spring-loaded piston pops forward to open the drawer. As the drawer is closed, the latch automatically resets.
The 2" long openers extend 1/2" when released; the 3" sizes extend 1 1/2". The concealed-mount versions install in a 10mm dia. hole; frame-mount styles clip to an adapter plate screwed to the inside wall of the cabinet or drawer frame with #5 flat-head screws you supply (three screws for the 2" size; four for the 3"). For a precise fit between the drawer and mechanism, the tip position of the frame-mount opener adjusts within a 1/4" range.
Made of brass, plastic and nylon. Concealed openers are gray; frame-mount openers available in white, brown and black. Sold individually.
Only a light push is needed to trigger these push-open mechanisms, about 1/16" of travel on the 2" size and 1/8" on the 3" size, before the spring-loaded piston pops the drawer open.
The concealed version installs into a drilled 10mm hole for a hidden look, while the frame-mount version clips to an adapter plate screwed to the cabinet wall; choose frame-mount if you want to add push-open action without drilling into a show surface.
The 2" size extends 1/2" and the 3" size extends 1 1/2" when released, enough for the piston to grip the drawer front so you can pull it open by hand.
Yes, the frame-mount opener's tip position adjusts within a 1/4" range, letting you fine-tune the fit between the drawer and the mechanism.
You'll need three #5 flat-head screws for the 2" size or four for the 3" size to secure the adapter plate inside the cabinet or drawer frame; the screws aren't included.
Yes, the latch resets automatically as the drawer closes, so it's ready to pop open again with the next push.
