We've got cabinets that open up instead of sideways, which makes it basically impossible to hit your head on.
Downside, if you're short you need a stool to close it.
- bobthepanda 8y agoIf cabinet doors could slide sideways, that might be a good solution as well.
- Doxin 8y agoEasily fixed by adding a loop of rope or some such to the inside of the door as a handle. Tall cars with upwards-opening trunks tend to have this.
- dmoy 8y agoYea we considered this but then the rope hangs down into the counterspace beneath and gets in the way. Or in one case, hangs down and gets caught in the fridge when you close the fridge.
- Doxin 8y agoMake the rope half the length of the cabinet door, and instead of hanging it way out at the edge of the door, hang it halfway towards the hinge. The rope will hang slightly higher but it'll fit neatly inside the cabinet when the door is closed.
- dmoy 8y agoUnfortunately it's double hinged, so the point you'd need to pull down from to get proper leverage on it is at or near the highest point - hang a rope down there that's of useful length and it's by definition longer than half the length of the cabinet, and doesn't fold neatly in. Maybe there's a different solution though, I'm not sure
