Handles, surfaces, ventilation, and locks

Customize a door or drawer front and understand why an appearance option may be unavailable.

Select a door or drawer and open Handle & surface. The controls show only combinations that the selected front can actually render and manufacture.

Handle styles

  • TipOn is push-to-open and renders no visible handle.
  • Gola uses a recessed rail or finger channel.
  • Handle uses a surface-mounted bar pull.
  • Knob uses a round pull.
  • Finger pull bevels the top edge from behind through nearly the full slab, so the front edge stands proud as a lip your fingers hook under. A rail behind the gap closes it, flush with the body, and the front is mounted 8 mm proud so there is finger clearance behind it. It buys no hardware and requires the Full Overlay front position, which is the exact mirror of Gola.

Visible hardware currently offers Black and Silver/Chrome finishes. Legacy designs can retain other supported stored finishes, but the picker shows the options currently offered. Sliding doors support TipOn only, and glass fronts can limit the handle styles that are safe to attach.

Front surfaces

  • Flat is a plain front.
  • Shaker adds a framed profile.
  • Rattan adds a woven-look insert and needs enough width and height.
  • Slatted adds vertical slats and already provides visual ventilation.
  • Glass applies a glass pane treatment.
  • Mirror applies a mirrored pane treatment.

The pane treatment keeps a 2.5 cm border around every edge. Very small fronts cannot carry a usable pane or procedural pattern, so the corresponding option is disabled. Material color and surface style are separate: a glass or mirror finish can also affect which surfaces and handles remain compatible.

Two-color Shaker and frame width

When Shaker is selected, its frame follows the door or drawer color by default. Choose Shaker frame color only when you want a contrasting second laminate; Match front returns it to the automatic same-color behavior. Frame width starts at 6 cm and can be adjusted from 2.5–12 cm. A small front can reduce the effective maximum so the center panel remains manufacturable.

Flat and Shaker describe the appearance of a door or drawer. Frameless cabinet describes the body construction—no structural face frame—and is independent from Flat, Shaker, TipOn, or any other opening mechanism.

Hinged doors can also show an Interior surface choice: Flat, Glass, or Mirror. This affects the inside face only. It is not available for every opening family.

Ventilation grille

Turn Grille on to let Supernata choose the largest standard ventilation grille that fits the usable front area without colliding with handles or edges. The control is disabled when the front is too small, the door type is incompatible, or a Slatted surface already provides ventilation.

The grille is a design and hardware specification. Confirm the ventilation requirement for the real appliance, shoes, electronics, or enclosed equipment with the responsible professional.

Lock

The Door lock or Drawer lock toggle records and shows a lock on the selected front. It is a specification and visual indicator; the on-screen opening interaction does not become access-controlled.

Color and custom material

Color is edited separately from the surface. A door and drawer can differ from the cabinet body, while a custom texture can be applied when that workflow is available. See colors, interiors, and custom finishes for scope and preservation rules.
