What handle systems are available?

There are two main options – opening with the Gola profile system (recessed or flat), which allows the opening of kitchen fronts through a special recess made in the upper part of the door, and opening with a conventional handle, which can be recessed, built-in, located on the front surface or on the top end of the door.

Profile system: recessed or flat?

The main difference lies in functionality. The recessed profile has a larger catching area and can be more convenient. But if you have a lot of cabinets with drawers in your kitchen and you need to install appliances next to them (for example the dishwasher), you can’t install a recessed profile in the middle of such a door.
