Faster Installs, Fewer Callbacks: Hideaway Compact Refines Installation Standards

Precision without pain: Enhanced door panel adjustments

One of the biggest challenges in waste bin installation is aligning the door panel flawlessly. Misalignment leads to unsightly gaps and, worse, return trips to fix doors that have drifted over time. Hideaway Compact tackles this by utilising the proven door adjustment system from the premium Concelo range. Precise alignment of door fronts is now quick and intuitive using cams for vertical (+/- 2.5mm) and tilt (+/- 0.75°) adjustment and enlarged slots for horizontal adjustment. 

Fix once, fix right: improved door and body installation

Once door alignment is complete, the door position is securely fixed with three M6 bolts each side, dramatically reducing the likelihood of movement after installation — an upgrade that practically eliminates post-installation site visits.

The new Compact body design now uses Euroscrew fixing on both the top and sides, positioned at System 32 spacing. This not only enhances the pullout resistance — key to long-term durability — but also ensures consistent and repeatable positioning across models. The side mount fixings on the new Compact body have also been repositioned to make them easily accessible for faster installation.

Installation support that works

Each product includes instructions with a QR code linking to installation animations — perfect for installation teams on site who need visual guidance fast. This small but significant touch reduces training time and ensures even new installers can execute with confidence.

Framed door compatibility and handle freedom

The Hideaway Compact range now accommodates a wider array of cabinetry styles. Improvements to the door bracket design now allow framed doors down to a minimum rail width of 50mm, while a generous open area on the door bracket leaves plenty of space for handle placement, empowering designers and manufacturers with freedom and flexibility in design.

Less rework, more results

The 2025 Hideaway Compact refresh is a prime example of design that’s attuned with the needs of kitchen manufacturers. It's faster to install, easier to adjust, and engineered to stay put. In a market where every minute on-site costs money, Hideaway Bins has made sure its bins won’t be the reason installers go back for round two.
