German term

Elektrofronten

German to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering
This is in a list of work to be done inside luxury apartments.

Elektrofronten
2-flügliche Schrankfront auf 3-flüglich vergrössern von Schranklänge 1760 mm. auf 2600 mm.

Can't get my head around an "electric front" to a cabinet/closet. Can anyone help?
Proposed translations (English)
4 +1 appliance front panels/appliance fronts

That's a possibility, but strange that the picture doesn't show something like that. Something else I wondered about is whether the cabinets have a built-in electrical outlet for appliances.
AllegroTrans (asker) Dec 21, 2007:
I wonder whether this is an electrically illuminated front, i.e. it simply has light bulbs/tubes fitted above?

This is the only thing I found, but it doesn't shed any light. http://www.brauchli-schreinerei.ch/schreinerei_innenausbau_m...

or "electrosurface displays"
Note from asker:
these are domestic fixtures in an apartment, so I cannot see how "displays" would work, and "electro-surfaces" in the home doesn't sound right to me

appliance front panels/appliance fronts

I think this means the cabinet fronts attached to built-in appliances such as dishwashers, RFs, etc. They are usually called appliance fronts or cabinet fronts for built-in appliances:

could also mean the cut-outs on cabinet fronts where the appliances are set in.

those cabinets with cut-out fronts are called built-in cabinets
Note from asker:
sounds likely, thanks!
Peer comment(s):
agree jccantrell : This would be my choice, but I might lean toward "electrical panel" to be more generic. It might be a set of plugs for electricity, phone, computer network, etc.
