Product Details

Is the Free Up Parallel 380 500mm suitable for my cabinet?

Yes, it is designed for cabinets with a height of 380 to 500 mm and it supports one piece flaps made from wood, glass, or an aluminium frame. It is also suitable for cabinet depth of 277 mm or more, helping you fit it to a wide range of front panel applications.

What flap size and weight can this fitting handle?

Flap height must be at least 343 mm, and the fitting is rated for flap weights of 9.3 to 17.4 kg. Using a flap outside these ranges can affect operation and holding performance, so it is worth checking your flap details before installation.

Does this parallel lift up fitting work with one piece flaps only?

It is intended for one piece flaps, whether the panel is wood, glass, or a flap that has an aluminium frame. If your flap is made in multiple sections or uses a different configuration, you may need an alternative fitting type.

How easy is it to fine tune alignment after installation?

It offers adjustment for a proper fit, including height adjustment of plus or minus 1.5 mm and side adjustment of plus or minus 1.5 mm. There is also angle of incline adjustment of plus or minus 1.5 degrees to help the flap sit correctly and close neatly.

What colour will the visible parts be in the cabinet?

The fitting is available with a grey cover colour. The fitting itself is nickel plated, which gives a durable, smart finish that suits many modern cabinet styles.

What materials are used and will it be strong enough for daily use?

The fitting is made from steel for strength, with plastic cover caps to complete the look and protect the mechanism area. Built for routine operation on lift up front flaps, it is backed by a Hafele Lifetime Guarantee of 25 years, providing confidence for long term use.
