Every concealed drawer has the same tell: a drawer front. However well it is fitted, there is a line where the front meets the carcass, and a line is what someone looks for.

RNI-0003 has no front. The shelf itself is the drawer. It sits on a plate fixed to the wall, and the whole volume slides forward on ball-bearing runners when it is released. Closed, there is nothing to read: five faces of continuous board, no handle, no gap, no shadow line. It looks like a solid wall shelf, because from the outside that is all it is.

Present a magnetic key or an RFID card to the top face and it releases. The card is specified when you order and there is nothing on the surface to indicate where it should go — you know, and nobody else does.

The runners are industrial ball-bearing slides and they are visible when the shelf is open. That is deliberate. A concealed mechanism would mean a lighter-duty runner, and large unit carrying its own weight plus contents needs the load rating more than it needs the runner hidden.

Melamine-faced board, in any decor, colour or texture the board manufacturer offers. All visible edges carry edgebanding — not the foil used on flat-pack furniture, which chips at the corner within a year and shows the core underneath.

Made to order in Zagreb. Specify the decor and the lock type when you order.

Material & durability
Melamine-faced chipboard

The panel is standard melamine-faced chipboard — the same board used across European cabinet manufacturing, in whatever decor, colour and texture the board maker offers. It is stable, it is dimensionally consistent, and it takes hardware reliably. It is not the interesting part of this piece and it is not sold as though it were.

All visible edges are edgebanded. That is the difference between furniture and flat-pack: a raw chipboard edge absorbs moisture, chips at the corner and shows the core. An edgebanded one does none of those things.

The hardware

This is where the money goes. Concealed hinges and soft-close runners throughout, so nothing slams and nothing has to be caught on the way down. One shelf uses a gas strut: the front lifts under its own control, holds wherever you leave it, and closes without dropping.

The compartment closes flush. From the front there is no handle, no pull, no visible catch and no gap that reads differently from any other line on the piece.

Choice of lock

Every piece is supplied with either a magnetic lock or an RFID lock, specified when you order.

The magnetic lock opens with a key magnet held against the front. There is nothing to power, nothing to fail and no electronics — the magnet lives on a keyring or on the back of a nearby object.

The RFID lock opens with a card or fob presented to the front. It suits anyone who would rather not carry a magnet, and allows more than one person to have access.

Both are concealed behind the front. Neither is visible from outside the piece.
Care & cleaning
Routine cleaning

Wipe with a soft cloth, warm water and a mild detergent, then dry. Melamine is a closed surface — nothing soaks in, and it does not need polish, oil or wax. Wipe spills rather than leaving them to dry.

Do not use

Abrasive pads, scouring powders, solvents or bleach. These dull the melamine and the change is permanent. Steam cleaners and saturated cloths force moisture into the joints, which is the one thing chipboard does not tolerate.

Edges and joints

Edgebanded edges are sealed, but standing water at a joint will eventually find its way in. Dry any water that collects along a front or a top edge rather than leaving it.

Hardware

Soft-close runners and hinges are set at the factory and need no adjustment. If a front stops closing flush, the hinge has usually shifted rather than failed — the adjustment screws are visible when the front is open. The gas strut is a sealed unit and cannot be serviced; if it stops holding, it is replaced.

Locks

The magnetic lock has no moving electronics and needs nothing. Keep the key magnet away from cards, drives and anything else magnetically sensitive. The RFID lock is battery-powered — replace the battery when the indicator changes, and keep a spare card somewhere other than inside the compartment.

FAQ
  1. How does it open?
    Present the magnetic key or the RFID card to the top face. The unit releases and the whole shelf slides forward on ball-bearing runners. Push it back to close and it locks again.
  2. Can someone find it?
    There is less to find here than on a conventional concealed drawer, because there is no drawer front. Closed, the unit is five continuous faces with no handle, no gap and no seam — nothing indicates that it moves. Someone who tries to pull it will find it locked. This is concealment, not a safe: it is not rated to resist a determined attempt with tools, and nothing at this price is.
  3. What fits inside?
    Documents, a passport, cash, jewellery, a watch, cards. The compartment is shallow and long — sized for flat items rather than for volume.
  4. What can I put on top?
    Books, a lamp, a plant, whatever a shelf normally holds. Opening it slides the whole unit forward rather than lifting anything, so items on top move with it. Move anything near the front edge back before you open it.
  5. Can it be used as a bedside table?
    Yes it works well beside a bed — it takes a lamp, a book and a phone, and it keeps the floor clear. Mounting height is yours to choose, which a floor-standing nightstand does not allow.
  6. Where does the lock read?
    Through the top face. There is no marking, no plate and no indicator — you learn where it is when the unit is installed. Presenting a card anywhere else does nothing.
  7. Magnetic or RFID — which should I choose?
    The magnetic lock has no electronics and no battery. Nothing to charge, nothing to fail, and the key is a magnet that lives on a keyring. The RFID lock opens with a card or fob, suits more than one person having access, and is battery-powered — you replace the battery, and you keep a spare card somewhere other than inside the unit. Neither costs more than the other.
  8. What happens if the lock fails or I lose the key?
    The magnetic lock has no failure mode short of physical damage; a replacement key magnet is inexpensive and we can send one. If an RFID lock loses power, the unit stays closed until the battery is replaced. Contact us before attempting to force it — forcing damages the carcass.
  9. Are the runners visible?
    When the shelf is open, yes. They are industrial ball-bearing slides carrying the unit and its contents, and they are not hidden. Closed, nothing is visible.
  10. Can I choose the colour?
    Yes. Any decor, colour or texture the board manufacturer offers. Send the decor reference when you order, or tell us what you are matching and we will send options.
  11. Can I get another size?
    Yes. The cut list is generated from the same drawing, so length, depth and height are parameters rather than a redesign. Quoted on request.
