My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

retrofitting the pull out trash cabinent

13 years ago

I have a soft close two trash can pull out. I just read here-where else?- that some have some sort of kick mechanism so that the door pops open, hands free.
what are they called, where can they be bought, and can they be retrofitted?
Lee Valley had a mechanism it described as like a "ball point pen"; I only read it quickly, so I'm not even sure if it is what I want.
Thanks
