Description
Coming up with a suitable door pull is a challenge. A misstep can detract from a carefully chosen door.
Different cabinet, same idea. Push on the exposed lever end.
The other pivot end pushes the door open far enough to get fingers inside.
The pivot pin retainer is barely evident.
A shim of a thickness to match door spacing plus a shaving or two controls the height of the door riser.
With the shim in place, the riser is clamped down. A careful filing brings the riser to the desired height.
