Kitchen cabinet hardware, fittings and built-in tech

Kitchen cabinet hardware is what you touch every day: drawer runners, hinges, handles and the switches and sockets built into the worktop. In a Nolte kitchen most of it is part of the system, which is why it feels consistent from the first drawer to the last. Replacing handles on existing cabinets? Measure the hole spacing first; the common metric spacings are listed below.

01Drawers & hinges

Drawer runners and cushioned hinges

Nolte’s standard drawer system is PremiumLINE: full-extension drawers with slim stainless-steel-look sides and a quartz-grey base. PremiumLINE Box adds closed sides for more volume; PremiumLINE Glass has glass sides and comes up to 120 cm (47 in) wide; interior lighting is optional. Fully extending pull-outs are rated at up to 80 kg (176 lb) in Nolte’s UK specification, and doors hang on hinges with integrated cushioning that open to 105°.

If you have been searching for Blum drawers: Blum systems are not Nolte factory options. PremiumLINE is Nolte’s own version of Hettich’s ArciTech drawer platform, and the nolteneo neoBOX is based on Hettich AvanTech YOU. Both are full-extension systems; we confirm the soft-close specification for your order at planning.

02Handles

Handles, knobs and handleless options

Handle hole spacings: 64, 96, 128, 160 and 192 mm (2.5, 3.8, 5.0, 6.3 and 7.6 in)
Families: Knobs, single handles, bar handles, rail handles, handle combinations
Matte lacquer handle: 160 mm, in the 20 colors of the matte lacquer concept

03Built-in tech

Charging, sockets and power where you need it

Phones and small appliances end up on the worktop, so we plan power there deliberately. Nolte offers worktop sockets with a Qi wireless charger and retractable outlet modules that disappear into the worktop when not in use — useful on an island, where code and design both limit what you can mount on the side.

For US projects, electrical parts must suit 120 V and carry US listing. We confirm at planning which Nolte modules are available for your order and, where they are not, plan listed US pop-up outlets and chargers in the same positions with your electrician.

04Can be planned in

Gadgets we design around

Two of these are Nolte options; boiling-water taps and downdraft cooktops come from your appliance or plumbing supplier, and we plan the cabinet space, access and cut-outs around them.

Boiling-water taps
Need a tank and power in the sink cabinet, so the waste-sorting layout is planned around them.
Downdraft cooktops
Extract through the cooktop; ducting or a recirculating unit takes space in the base drawers below.
Swivel table
New for 2027 from Nolte: a base cabinet with a table that swings out for an extra place to sit or work.
Wall rail system
Nolte’s MotionLINE rails hold utensils, shelves and lighting along the backsplash.

Kitchen cabinet hardware in context

Handleless fronts are a style decision as much as a hardware one — see handleless kitchens. What goes inside the drawers is on storage and organizers, and appliance housings on integrated appliances. Back to kitchen features, or talk through runners and push-to-open at a consultation.

Ask a designer

Are soft-close drawers standard in a Nolte kitchen?

Nolte specifies hinges with integrated cushioning as standard, and PremiumLINE drawers run on full-extension runners. We confirm the drawer damping specification for your order at planning. Options are about the drawer sides (Box or Glass), interior lighting and the opening system.

Does Nolte use Blum hardware?

No, Blum systems are not Nolte factory options. Nolte’s PremiumLINE drawer is based on Hettich’s ArciTech platform, and nolteneo’s neoBOX on Hettich AvanTech YOU. Both are full-extension drawer systems.

What handle sizes fit Nolte fronts?

Handles are drilled at 64, 96, 128, 160 or 192 mm (2.5–7.6 in) centers; knobs, bar and rail handles come in several finishes, and we confirm availability for your order. For handleless fronts, see handleless kitchens.

Can I have wireless charging in my countertop?

Yes. Nolte offers worktop sockets with a Qi charger. For US projects we confirm whether a US-listed version is available for your order, or plan a listed US equivalent with your electrician.
