Different Door Opening Systems for Kitchen Bins
We stock door opening systems from top brands, including Hailo, Vauth-Sagel and Blum, to offer you a range of products, ensuring you can find the right system that makes sense for your kitchen.
Foot Pedal Opening Systems for Kitchen Bins
One option is to install a food pedal opening system along with your integrated bin. This will mean you can simply press down on the pedal to release a spring-loaded plate that pushes the door, opening it hands-free. The door can then be closed again with a gentle push. The pedal is compatible with all pull-out door bin models, as long as you have a minimum plinth height of 70mm.
Electronic Opening for Kitchen Bins
You also have the choice of two electronic opening systems that will give you a seamless hands-free experience. The Hailo Libero system is compatible with all pull-out door bin models, whereas the Blum Servo-Drive system is compatible with Wesco Pullboy Z bins only.
Please check that your cabinet and plinth have the correct minimum dimensions – see the individual product pages for more details.
Our electronic system can be used in a choice of two ways:
- Gently pushing on the cabinet door (Blum Servo-Drive only)
- Infra-red sensors that pick up foot movement or
- Voice commands when connected to an Alexa system (Hailo Libero)
The Benefits of Hands-Free Kitchen Bins
Door opening systems like these are the ideal solution for those that want to embrace a sleek, modern kitchen design. These systems, along with whole in-cupboard kitchen bin units, can be fitted into new kitchens as well as retrofitted into an existing space.
Bins with additional opening systems can also be more accessible for people of all abilities, especially if you have a larger capacity bin and unit that some may find difficult to open.

It should be noted that not every opening system we offer will be compatible with all bin models.
