Personally, I don't care for a large panel swinging up in your face.

Thank you guys , I think I found what I wanted . It's made by Blum , it either lifts the door vertically or horizontally . Thank you again .

Have you considered using a regular door that opens right or left, rather than up?

You are on the right track.

Blum Aventos has the hardware you are looking for.
