PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Blum AVENTOS HK-XS 20K1301T TIP-ON lift set is a compact mechanical push-to-open stay-lift solution for small handleless wall cabinets, fitted units and cabinets above refrigerators. Its 500–1200 power-factor range places it between the lighter 20K1101T and stronger 20K1501T mechanisms, helping cabinetmakers select the correct spring force for the complete front.
Compact TIP-ON lift action for handleless cabinets
AVENTOS HK-XS is Blum's small-format stay lift for compact overhead cupboards. The single-piece front pivots upwards and remains at a convenient opening position while using little interior cabinet space.
This 20K1301T version is designed for mechanical TIP-ON operation. Pressing the front activates a compatible TIP-ON plunger and releases the door for opening. It is not a BLUMOTION mechanism and must not be described as soft closing. The planning arrangement uses compatible unsprung CLIP top hinges so that the spring in a conventional self-closing hinge does not oppose the push-to-open action.
Choose by power factor, not door weight alone
The stated 500–1200 figure is the Blum power-factor range, abbreviated LF. It is not a weight in grams and not a standalone load rating. Calculate the application power factor by multiplying cabinet height in millimetres by the complete front weight in kilograms. Use current Blum planning information and select the more powerful mechanism where ranges overlap or where the application is close to a boundary.
The mechanism is symmetrical. Suitable applications may use it on one side; when mechanisms are fitted on both sides, Blum states that the power factor is doubled. Follow the current planning guide for cabinet dimensions, hinge quantity and drilling positions.
Planning dimensions and opening action
Blum specifies HK-XS for cabinet heights from 240–600mm. The normal minimum internal cabinet depth is 125mm. An internal depth of 100mm can be possible with Blum's special drilling position, but this must be planned from the official drilling information rather than treated as the standard layout.
The nominal opening angle is 105°. The hinge or surrounding furniture may limit usable opening, so check overhead clearances before drilling. Correct selection and adjustment provide light operation and a variable stopping position.

Compatible components and installation
A complete application requires the correct cabinet fixing, front bracket, TIP-ON unit, unsprung hinges and mounting plates. Blum lists cabinet fixings 20K5101 screw-on and 20K51E1 EXPANDO. Front-fixing options include 20K4101 screw-on, 20K41E1 EXPANDO and 20K4101A for narrow aluminium frames.
Blum specifies a short 956-series TIP-ON unit with magnet for cabinets up to 600mm high. Self-adhesive catch plates are unsuitable for powder-coated, waxed or oiled surfaces. Confirm this set's contents from the product record; do not assume components are included.
Blum's standard plan uses unsprung CLIP top hinges 70T3550.TL screw-on or 70T3590.TL INSERTA with suitable 0mm mounting plates such as 175H3100 screw-on or 177H3100E EXPANDO. Match the complete front, hinge, plate and drilling arrangement before ordering.
Frequently asked questions
Does 500–1200 mean a 500–1200g door weight?
No. It is the power-factor range, not a weight range. Calculate LF from cabinet height and complete front weight, then check the result against current Blum planning information.
Does this mechanism include BLUMOTION soft close?
No. The 20K1301T is the mechanical TIP-ON version for push-to-open handleless fronts. It does not provide BLUMOTION or soft-close functionality.
Which hinges should be used?
TIP-ON planning uses compatible unsprung hinges. Blum's standard HK-XS example includes screw-on 70T3550.TL or INSERTA 70T3590.TL with suitable mounting plates. Confirm the complete arrangement for the front construction.
Is every fitting needed for installation included?
The set contents are not expressly confirmed by the product record. The correct TIP-ON unit, fixing parts, hinges and mounting plates must all be present for the selected application. Confirm the complete component list before ordering.
