High quality in a convenient packageAVENTOS HK-XS is a smaller, cost-effective lift system which can be used in applications ranging from shallow depth wall cabinets above a refrigerator to pantries ─ all with varying front designs and materials.

High quality of motion – typical of AVENTOSAVENTOS HK-XS proves itself with the familiar AVENTOS quality of motion. Stay lifts open and close with seemingly weightless movement. They close silently and effortlessly in combination with CLIP top BLUMOTION and COMPACT BLUMOTION hinges.
High quality of motion
The variable stop allows the lift system to remain in any desired
position and always within easy reach.
Proven Blum quality
The lift mechanism with a robust spring package is the core
element of this design. This allows the AVENTOS HK-XS to provide
a high level of stability and durability.
5
A wide range of applications in every living areaThe design of the AVENTOS HK-XS means that cabinets with small internal depths can be equipped easily. The symmetrical lift mechanism can be used on one or both sides, for the widest range of applications and design freedom.
Wide cabinets
If the lift mechanism is utilized on both sides, large, heavy fronts
can also be used.
Versatility
AVENTOS HK-XS allows you the design freedom for all areas of the
home, whether it's the kitchen, living room or bathroom.
A wide range of applicationsin every living areaThe design of the AVENTOS HK-XS means that cabinets with small internal depths can be equipped easily. The symmetrical lift mechanism can be used on one or both sides, for the widest range of applications and design freedom.

▀ Well suited for small wall cabinets
▀ Cabinet height from 238 (9-3/8") to 610 (24")
▀ Interior depth minimum 127 (5")
▀ Closes silently and effortlessly with CLIP top BLUMOTION or COMPACT BLUMOTION hinges
▀ Simple, virtually tool-free assembly and easy adjustment
▀ Symmetrical lift mechanism – can be used on one or both sides
▀ Designed for use with BLUMOTION hinges
Step 1 – Determine the power factor for the application
Determine power factor
To select the correct lift mechanism for a given application, the power factor must first be calculated by using the formula below. Use the table at the bottom of the page to convert ounces into decimal form for easy calculation.
Example: Cabinet height: 15 inches (within possible range)Door weight including twice the handle weight: 9 lb 14 oz (14 oz = .9 lb see chart below)Total weight converted to decimal is 9.9 lbPower factor = cabinet height multiplied by door weight including twice the handle weightPower factor = 15 x 9.9Power factor = 148.5A power factor of 148.5 requires lift mechanism 20K1501
