Good evening everyone,
Our kitchen will have a pantry of about 6 sqm (65 sq ft) adjacent to it. For aesthetic reasons, we are considering integrating a hidden passage into the kitchen in the form of a tall cabinet door.
This would be feasible with a 70 cm (28 inch) wide door from the manufacturer LEICHT.
We are wondering how practical these types of passages are for daily use and would appreciate hearing your opinions and experiences. The kitchen is initially planned to be handleless.
Alternatively, a sliding door recessed into the wall or a standard door would also be an option.
Thank you!

We have been using a door like this (80 cm (31.5 inches) wide, handleless) for our pantry for 5 months now. Overall, I can fully recommend it, although it definitely depends on your needs. You won’t be fitting a baking tray through there 😉
Drink crates and similar items are no problem, and unattractive appliances like the microwave or cordless vacuum can be stored ready to hand but out of sight.
The different door widths (4x 50 cm (20 inches), 1x 20 cm (8 inches), 1x 80 cm (31.5 inches)) don’t bother us.
Right now I only have the picture including the dining table for the overall view, plus a few from the construction phase:

If the door were in the way when opened, meaning I would have to close it first to get back into the kitchen, I wouldn’t like that. Our door is also sometimes left open for a while when I know I’ll need to go in repeatedly to get ingredients, etc., or while the microwave is being used.

I don’t think @driver55’s comment is wrong: the idea comes to mind that you would have an open door inside the kitchen, which can be quite disturbing. In your case, the cabinet wall is placed separately.

This is possible with Leicht cabinets, but with Häcker, an inward-opening door was not an option.
