Aventos HK Top lift mechanism
2/1/22
Anyone use the Aventos HK Top lift mechanism in an inset application? I don't see why it wouldn't work, but since it was designed for face frame / frameless applications there isn't much info regarding clearances for an inset application. Please let me know if you have any information that would help, thank you in advance.

Yes. If the face frame stile isn’t flush with your gable you need a spacer block behind the Aventos
Mechanism to bring it in plane with the inside edge of the face frame.. hopefully that made sense.

Thank you for chiming in Chris. I have included a pic of where this flip up panel is going. As you can see there is a jamb that will serve as the the connection point for the lift up panel. I am currently planning for the panel to be inset & flush with the front of the jamb. I am planning for an 1/8" reveal at both the top & bottom of the panel. I just want to make sure that I have enough clearance for the panel to flip up and not "bind" when lifted. Thoughts?
