Abstract
A bath cabinet employs a fully concealed hinge and opening device, so that only the mirrored face of the door is seen on the front of the cabinet. The hinge bar is universal for left or right hand application and is affixed to the mirrored door. A cam arrangement, associated with the frame of the cabinet and a bumper mounted on the door, serves to selectively move the door out of the plane in which it rests when fully closed, to facilitate further opening of the door by grasping of an exposed edge.
