Continuous innovation from Titus

Titus is a leading component manufacturer specialising in developing and producing cabinet hardware, hydraulic dampers, automated assembly systems, tooling, die-casting technologies, custom die-cast components and ultrasound fastening technologies. A global brand, Titus has been at the forefront of innovation since 1973, consistently developing precision components that make assembly seamless, enhance the look of furniture and improve competitiveness.  

Titus is committed to continuous innovation in support of manufacturers and end users of furniture. Some highlights from among the company’s latest innovations are:

T-type PressTo hinges

The latest addition to the T-type hinge family, the new PressTo features a tool-less hinge cup fixing system for quick and easy mounting. It also offers the convenience of the well-established T-type 3Way hinge-to-plate mounting, ensuring the fastest cabinet assembly.

The novel hinge cup fixing system requires only a small amount of pressure to fit, producing an audible click when locked in place. Like all T-type hinges, the PressTo is designed to ensure reliable door opening and closing, even in cases of accidental misalignment, and to deliver constant performance throughout its lifetime. 

Push Latch S2

This is an ideal choice for providing handleless cabinet doors with a push-opening system that offers a noiseless, bounce-free soft opening. It is compatible with damped and non-damped hinges and provides consistent push-to-open action with reliable door closing.

Another key benefit is the integrated safety feature. If the operating plunger is accidentally struck, the latch mechanism detaches from its mounting plate without damage and can readily be reattached without the use of tools.

Quickfit TL5 ‘Full Metal Jacket’ cabinet connectors

These high-performance all-metal dowels feature tool-free insertion and exceptionally high resistance to pull out. Ideally suited for wood-based materials, including MDF, chipboard, and solid wood, they offer a uniform 5mm drilling pattern.

Quickfit TL5 dowels are exceptionally tolerant of drilling inaccuracies and create solid, reliable joints that have no tendency to loosen over time, even if they are repeatedly disassembled and reassembled. 

Tekform Slimline Tacto drawers

Titus now offers a new version of its popular Tekform Slimline double-wall drawers for cabinet designs featuring handleless drawer fronts. With the activator built into the drawer runner, Tekform Slimline Tacto drawers provide easy push opening and reliable soft closing. All other components are the same as those of standard Tekform Slimline drawers, as are the drilling and fixing positions.

Slidix soft closing solutions for sliding doors

The versatile products in the Slidix range of high-performance soft closing solutions for sliding doors and drawers are based on the highly regarded Titus dampers. These offer controllable damping that allows precise control over damping forces for doors from 15 kg to 120 kg, delivering smooth, reliable, silent closing at any speed without rebound. 

Slidix products suit various applications, including middle and end sliding doors, drawers, wardrobe doors, shower doors, and interior sliding door systems.

PushPlus for pocket doors

PushPlus is the only system currently available that combines push opening and soft closing functions in a single mechanism for wall-pocket sliding doors. The PushPlus system features a modular design that allows straightforward customisation. Suitable for use with doors weighing up to 100kg, the PushPlus system allows doors to fully retract when open and requires only a light push to trigger the closing action. Reliable and effective damping ensures smooth door motion.

RV Push Locks for mobile environments

RV Push Locks are tailored for the mobile domain of recreational vehicles, boats, and yachts. Recognised for their reliable locking mechanism, these products have been designed to ensure cabinet security during transit. They feature a versatile array of rosettes and knobs, lending elegance to any interior. The locks’ adaptability across varied door thicknesses – from 13 to 19mm – adds to their universal appeal. 

“At Titus, our aim is always to offer innovative and practical solutions designed to simplify the assembly process to save time and effort for our customers,” says Gary McMahon of Titus UK. “And I believe that the new products we’ve introduced confirm that we are successfully meeting this aim. We look forward to seeing our customers integrate these products into their designs to enhance the user experience.”
