Hafele cabinet hardware?

[Lloyd McKinlay]

Is anyone familiar with the Hafele line of drawer slides and hinges? I'm looking for hardware that will provide a vertical lift for a wide cabinet door and found the Hafele Parallel Lift system on sale at considerably less cost than the Blum Aventos HL product line. Obviously it is a saving only if the unit works as advertised and remains trouble free.

I believe Richelieu may private label some of the Hafele line but not certain. Any experience with products from this 100 year old German company?

I use Hafele all the time, they are big in New Zealand.

No, Richelieu does not rebrand Hafele produced products. They are a distributor just like Hafele.

And while they may be a century old German Co. , the reason the mech. you’re lookin at is cheaper than the Blum is because it’s made in Asia , not Austria or Germany.
