What is SERVO-DRIVE for Aventos?
In simple terms, servomechanism is a battery-operated, touch sensor amplifier that does the work for you. With a slight tap and a touch of a button, these wall cabinets open and close smoothly, making this system extra silent and super effortless.
Where can you install this?
Here, Lohit has opted for SERVO-DRIVE wall cabinets because his mother has trouble reaching the higher cabinets. However, this mechanism can be retrofitted into handle and handless base cabinets and tandem drawers by a professional.
Who can benefit the most from SERVO-DRIVE cabinets?
These modern kitchen cabinets are your kitchen’s best friend. Whether you are elderly, find it difficult to reach wall cabinets or simply want to store expensive dinnerware in a safe place, this system makes life easier. A low input such as, a simple touch on the front of the door will result in a high output with the door lifting up. Consequently, closing the cabinet happens at the press of a button on the side. Moreover, these cabinets can be operated manually as well.
How do you get these cabinets for the kitchen & how expensive is it?
Blum’s high-tech kitchen cabinets are easily available in a majority of metropolitan cities through their local partner Hafele India Pvt. Ltd. These practical and safe cabinets are considered a long-term investment. They are valued at a higher price range than standard cabinets at ₹20,000-25,000 approx.
