Hello everyone,
I am planning to install a wall cabinet measuring 80 x 80 cm (31 x 31 inches) with Jutis fronts.
If you open the top flap (opening upwards), how do you get it back down? It seems out of reach—or only possible with a ladder—which would be quite funny.
I considered using a cord, but that would also be amusing when you see the types of opening mechanisms other kitchen manufacturers use.
If the 80 cm (31 inches) high cabinet is mounted lower, the bottom flap is too close to the countertop.
At Ikea, I only got a knowing smile but no solution—maybe I should just avoid such a cabinet?

Does anyone have a good idea?

Best regards and thanks – Nerusa

Yes, stand on a ladder or chair, or better use hinged doors instead of flaps.

Hello,
if you cannot reach the open flap, I wonder whether you can still access the cabinet properly.
