Häfele Free Slim – Out of the box
With Free Slim, Häfele is redefining flap fittings. The extremely slim product design allows for unprecedented creative freedom in furniture design. At the heart of the new Free flap fittings is a completely redesigned force storage principle – the horseshoe-shaped U-spring. It enables the fitting to have a slim installation width of just 8 mm, allowing for maximum flexibility in processing. Based on the right-left identical fittings, the processor basically has two different installation options available:

| Maximum design freedom with minimal variety | One standard fittings for all the range of applications. |
| Eight millimeters of efficiency | The key lies inside: patented U-spring technology makes the fitting body ultra-flat with a construction width of just 8 mm. This means more storage space in the cabinet, better use of space, and a clean, minimalist design. At the same time, Free Slim reliably covers all common front weight classes – with high practicality from series production to individual furniture pieces. |
| Invisibly integrated. Noticeably well thought out. | Free Slim can be installed flexibly – either screwed on from the inside in the traditional manner or flush-mounted from the outside in the side panel. When integrated, the fitting disappears almost completely from view, creating new scope for purist furniture design. Extremely smooth running characteristics and the individually adjustable multi-position stop ensure a high level of operating comfort. Less visible, more effective – for furniture that impresses with its function and aesthetics |
| Manufacturing at the Flap Competence Center | Häfele has pooled all its development and manufacturing expertise for flap fittings at its Flap Competence Center in Budapest. Following on from the successful Free space family, Free Slim marks the next milestone: developed by an experienced team of experts, manufactured on highly automated assembly lines, and tested with 100% functional checks. The patented spring technology is the result of in-house development – a true expression of engineering excellence. |
