Jens, the hinges on these doors are self closing, when you get them almost closed the pop tight to close.  The handles are not required because you can grab the door edge and open, but I like the looks of a good handle and they keep the door clean, now you have change for the 2 cents.

how about the magnetic closer and to open you push the door.They are used on stereo cabinets quite alot

 

Just my 2 cents

That is good idea, they are not hard to reverse.  I am going to wait until all the cabinets are done to install the knobs so I can be sure they have a balanced look and function correctly. Merry Christmas!

I don't know if this will help you now Hal but, You could have the doors all opening the same way," Hinges on the left hand side of the door".

Al, you have a good eye,  Yes it was a design change because it was short on walnut and the length of the wood I had to work with.  I have the handles but did not install them because I do not think they would look right.  The 2 outer doors open from the middle, so 2 handles on the the left door and the middle door would be right next to each other.  I could leave the handle off the middle door or have no handles.  The handles I have are round and stainless.  Any thoughts?

That really looks good Hal.

Couple of questions Hal

Have you decided on what sort of handles your putting on the doors yet?

The rails and stiles on the middle cabinet door is different to the doors either side, was that a last minute design change?
