Not every inch of a wardrobe is within easy reach — and not every wardrobe has room for a standalone mirror. Gas-assisted lifts bring high shelving and hanging space down to a comfortable height, while pull-out pivoting mirrors tuck flush against the door front until you need them.
Tell us your ceiling height and wardrobe layout and we'll recommend the right lift or mirror mechanism with an itemised quote within 24 hours.
Two very different problems, two dedicated mechanisms — reaching high storage safely, and adding a full-length mirror without a freestanding unit taking up floor space.
Space Solver
A gas-assisted lift swings a full hanging rail down from high-level storage to a comfortable reach, then guides it back up smoothly — no strain, no step stool, no risk of dropped garments.
Bulk Storage
Rather than hanging space, this lift brings a fixed shelf itself down from high storage — ideal for bedding, luggage and out-of-season items that are heavy or awkward to reach overhead.
Everyday Convenience
A full-length mirror mounted on a pull-out, pivoting arm sits flush against the wardrobe front when closed and swings smoothly out to a full viewing angle when needed — no freestanding mirror required.
A closer look at the lift and mirror mechanisms we fit into bespoke wardrobes across London.
Gas-strut mechanisms and pivoting mirrors both need precise specification to work smoothly and safely for years.
Every gas-strut lift is calibrated to a specific weight range. Too light a strut for a heavy load won't rise on its own; too strong a strut for a light load will spring up too fast. We calibrate to your realistic contents weight.
Pull-down lifts need enough headroom above the top of the cabinet for the mechanism to fully retract. We measure ceiling clearance during survey, especially important in loft conversions and dormer bedrooms.
A pull-out pivoting mirror needs floor and side clearance to swing to a usable viewing angle without striking adjacent furniture or the wardrobe door — we confirm this against your room layout.
Lift mechanisms fix directly to the cabinet's side panels via reinforced brackets. On very tall cabinets or unusually heavy shelving loads, we may recommend an additional internal bracing batten at no extra design cost.
Common questions homeowners ask before choosing a wardrobe lift or pull-out mirror.
