Reading the blum info last week (for something else but I had wondered what the lever was for) it mentioned disabling one or both hinges to allow push to open to work (from a separate push button)
I've never used that but it looks possible but not as an integrated unit?

Cheers Dave, I have some of the Blum Blumotion Soft Close Hinges with the disabling lever, disabled and without the soft close they seem quite harsh.......
wallop!Some manufacturers hinges might have slight differences in the way they operate. Picking the right combination might work but just looking into what might be available at the moment.
The ideal scenario would be Flat sheet material for doors (pre finished and edged) Push doors to open then soft close on return.
The Blum, Blumotion Soft Close hinges seem to have the soft close action kick in at about 30 degrees (part closed) and the soft close action continues until fully closed. I'm not sure but the soft close action may stop at the opening catch and then hinder full closing slightly.
When I get the chance I'll ring Blum to see what they suggest.
