The Blum AVENTOS HK-XS 20K5101 screw-on cabinet fixing connects a compatible HK-XS lift mechanism to the cabinet side. It is a system-specific installation component for cabinetmakers assembling or repairing an AVENTOS HK-XS stay lift with a screw-fixed carcass connection.

This is the cabinet-side fixing, not the 20K4101 front bracket or a lift mechanism. Use it in a correctly planned assembly or to replace an identical 20K5101. Check the Blum number before replacement.

Screw-on cabinet fixing for AVENTOS HK-XS

Blum lists two cabinet-fixing methods for HK-XS: 20K5101 for screw-on installation and 20K51E1 for EXPANDO installation. Choose the method required by the cabinet material, drilling pattern and current Blum planning information. The two parts are alternatives for different fixing methods; do not substitute one simply because both belong to HK-XS.

The 20K5101 forms the secure cabinet-side interface for the lift mechanism. Correct positioning matters because the lift, hinges and front brackets work as one planned assembly. Follow the HK-XS drilling dimensions and use fixings suitable for the carcass construction.

Compatible HK-XS applications

Blum's current HK-XS planning specifies the 20K5101 screw-on cabinet fixing for the standard and TIP-ON versions of the system. This includes the 20K1101, 20K1301 and 20K1501 standard lift mechanisms and the 20K1101T, 20K1301T and 20K1501T TIP-ON mechanisms, provided the complete application is otherwise planned correctly.

Compatibility with both motion versions does not make this a complete kit. Standard HK-XS applications use suitable sprung hinges or an approved damping arrangement; TIP-ON applications use compatible unsprung hinges and a separate TIP-ON unit. Front material, lift strength, hinge, mounting plate, front bracket and fixing method must all be selected for the same application.

What else is required?

The cabinet fixing attaches the lift mechanism at the carcass side. A separate front-fixing bracket connects the mechanism to the moving front. Blum lists the 20K4101 screw-on front bracket for wooden fronts and wide aluminium frames, 20K41E1 EXPANDO for suitable wooden fronts, and 20K4101A screw-on for narrow aluminium frames.

You will also need the correctly selected HK-XS lift mechanism and the hinge-and-mounting-plate arrangement specified for the front. A TIP-ON build additionally needs the appropriate 956-series TIP-ON components. Confirm the contents of any Hart set before ordering individual parts so that required components are neither omitted nor duplicated.

3. Use the correct front bracket, lift mechanism, hinges, mounting plates and motion components for the application.
4. Secure the component with appropriate fixings for the carcass material.
5. Complete the lift-mechanism and front adjustment in the order shown in Blum's assembly instructions.
6. Test the fitted front through its full movement and confirm secure attachment before use.

Frequently asked questions

Is HI20K5101 an AVENTOS HK-XS lift mechanism?

No. It is the screw-on cabinet fixing that forms the connection between a compatible HK-XS mechanism and the cabinet side. The lift mechanism is ordered separately or supplied in a separately defined set.

Is this the same as the 20K4101 front bracket?

No. The 20K5101 is the cabinet-side fixing. The 20K4101 is a screw-on front-fixing bracket for specified wooden fronts and wide aluminium frames.

What is the alternative to this screw-on fixing?

Blum lists 20K51E1 as the EXPANDO cabinet-fixing alternative. Use the fixing method specified for the cabinet construction and drilling plan.

Can it be used with a TIP-ON HK-XS mechanism?

Yes, it appears in Blum's standard and TIP-ON HK-XS planning information. A TIP-ON application still requires the correct T-series lift mechanism, unsprung hinges and TIP-ON components.

Does it fit AVENTOS HK-S or HK top?

Do not assume so. This part is identified for AVENTOS HK-XS. Match the exact system and manufacturer number when replacing a component.
