In an increasingly competitive market, efficiency, precision, and reduced post-installation callbacks are top priorities. The 2025 refresh of the Hideaway Compact range delivers improvements that squarely target the needs of kitchen manufacturers and installers.
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 on 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 fixings 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.
More Choices for Small Cabinets
Continuing the ethos of offering the biggest buckets for the smallest space, the Hideaway Compact range now has two new twin bucket models that fit 300mm cabinets. The all-new HC213D and HC216D offer 26L or 32L of total storage capacity for waste and recycling in small 300mm cabinets. Perfect for smaller spaces like Townhouses, apartments, or Motorhomes and Caravans.
The HC213 can also be stacked in a standard-height cabinet to provide a four-bucket waste and recycling solution with an amazing 52L of total storage.
Streamlined Codes
To help manufacturers and designers quickly understand the new range, the model codes for all products have changed from KC to HC. The new model codes are consistent across the entire range, so it is easy to understand exactly what bucket configuration each model has.
Updated Drilling Dimensions and Specifications
As part of the upgrade, some of the new HC models are slightly bigger than the KC product that they replace.
