I recently built a cabinet to house my 3d printer with a drawer and cupboard compartment beneath it. I made it so the front of the drawer/cupboard door sit flush with the front of the cabinet. Of course I could have just put a handle on it but that's too easy right. Also I have a baby on the way so wanted to make it harder for them to get in.

So I designed this method of opening the flush drawer with a sneaky side button. A push of moderate force will pop the door open just enough to get your thumb in and fully open it.

You will need a screw about 4mm dia and 20mm long to hold the lever and a 7mm drill bit to make the hole. My cabinet is made out of 18mm ply. If your's is thicker you will need to extend the poker/button to fit.

To drill the holes:
- measure and mark where the inside of door will be
- measure 11mm from side where button will be and scribe line
- place lever about 1mm back from inside door line to allow
