Do you have Homevision or Comfort, if so then how about getting them to open it via infra red command, that would be very cool. Alternatively how about one of those momentary switches (sometimes called bell push or push to make). Finally you could dispense with the electronic solution completely and use the magnetic 'push' catches that are often found behind the glass doors on TV cabinets, this would allow push+hold to close, push+release to open with no visible handles.

Hi

I have a hidden cupboard with all my AV gear. There will be a side door, but as it's all in white, I want to not have handles to open it (grubby marks, etc - and look sbetter !). RS have some solenoid actuators I can use to open to door electronically (a  little push rod when sent a voltage) - but what I now want is a little touchpad you can press with your finger and can relay this voltage to the actuator...

Anyone got any ideas on where to look ?

Thanks !

G.
