soft-close-cabinet-door-slams-view Conventional non-soft-close hidden hinges are often shallow, soft close cabinet door slams view you may need to drill the hole down farther. Great project: Install low-lying drawers fiew your kitchen or bath to hold step stools, pet bowls, linens and more. I made sure the Blumotion damper had fluid closing for the smoother close. It makes people jump out of their seats and sends a little disruption through the whole home. No more headaches. These are not the official measures.

I was at my FIL's over the weekend and pushed a drawer closed like I ususally do at home-hard. It slammed shut and then bounced back open. Made me appreicate my drawers that much more. DH actually wants to add soft-close hinges to the vanities so we can enjoy it everywhere! Yes, we have the soft-close on those doors as well. I've never heard of them "wearing off".

Mine are still going strong, but it's only been a little over 2 years since we moved back into the kitchen. Toilet covers It's not just Toto, btw, that has soft-close toilet seats The only thing I don't like about it, though, is that the cover is a softer plastic and you can't sit on a closed toilet.

Does Toto have a hard plastic cover like non-soft-close do? I may look elsewhere when we redo the bathrooms. I did want to mention that some cabinet lines, Omega for example, include soft-close drawers as standard. I lovelovelove our new soft-close Brookhaven drawers and doors! Our old drawers were old and rotting and so difficult to open and close.

Of ocurse the drawers were not full extension drawers And the cab doors slammed shut and were SO loud! Now everything opens and closes with stupid crazy ease and we have peace and quiet in the kitchen!!

I couldn't be happier. I didn't need any time at all getting used to it, but I think my husband did. I was afraid, control freak that I am, that I would be irritated by them. That I would want my doors closed when I want them closed, and not when they feel like getting around to closing. But I changed my design so that my island will be stained and not painted, which saves me almost the same amount as the soft-close upcharge. And since my kids are on the cusp of teenage-hood, and the new kitchen is right next to my bedroom, I think I've decided to go for it.

Thanx so much for your help. That quote is meaningless without knowing how many you're paying for. We finished our new build in Sept, so our cabinet price was for the whole house. Anyway, I think that price was worth it for us. Some of my cabinet doors were missing the soft close for a few weeks, and those cabinets jogged my memory on how much I can slam a door accidentally. What I don't like about the soft close mechanism is the weird little scootch it makes when pulling in that last small distance.

It's has a revolting, horror-movie quality for me, like the receding tongue of a nightmare-animal. But aside from that sick-making movement, it seems to me, to be the almost perfect representation of the sheer laziness of the world we live in now. How much effort does it really take to close your own drawers correctly and quietly? Is everyone's life so raddled by stress or desperate haste that they can't restrain themselves from slapping the drawers back?

And it also fails my standard of desirable simpleness. I agree that they are appealing to the gadget-minded - when we first saw them in a kitchen showroom, my DH could hardly wait to disembowel a drawer assembly to figure it out.

But I'll keep closing the drawers in our house, by hand, thank you. I have no idea what a soft-close toilet is and, may it please the Gods, I'll never encounter one. If only I could acquire a similar, visceral, distaste for Marmoleum, high CFM vent fans, and expensive English faucets; my kitchen reno budget would be much less strained.

For me, "the perfect representation of the sheer laziness of the world we live in now How lazy am I? I can't walk the three steps back and forth to the sink to fill the pot?? And if it's going to be too heavy, how do I think I'm going to lift the pot once its contents are cooked?? The soft close drawers and doors are one of my favorite things about my new 1yo kitchen. The master bedroom is right above the kitchen and I would hear those cabinet doors slam at all times of the night and early morning.

Nite-owl husband and teenagers were constantly slamming those doors! I sleep much better now :. They're nice for grown-ups, but soft-close is a God-send if you have kids!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got soft-close toilet seats too because of the kids no more squished wee-wees I will never look at my soft-pull drawers the same again!!

I may have nightmares now, lol. But I still love the way ours close :. I just checked my cabinets for goblins. Not even those virtually translucent, blond goblins that come with Ikea cabinets. And I timed the soft-close delay -- just shy of one second.

I can handle it. LOL on soft-close goblins. I never gave it a second thought, but I am one who does get creeped out by certain noises and tactiles. Microfiber anyone? We also have a soft-close toilet seat in our main bath--a no-name brand we bought at Menard's, as the boys are horrible about dropping the seat. I would hear at all hours, and why that would echo all over the house is still a mystery for me.

I do have an IKEA cabinet 3-drawer stack I bought about 4 years ago to use in our linen closet, and to show Hubs that IKEA kitchen cabinets were perfectly fine and nothing like their other stuff. It houses cleaning supplies and all the extra shampoos, toothpastes, various toiletries, etc.

The series features fast assembly and full adjustment with a progressive soft-closing mechanism technology to provide a smooth and soft-closing movement regardless of the door weight or size.

Installing soft-close hinges yourself is fairly easy and takes minimal equipment. That being said, if slamming doors has been a problem in your home you may want to inspect the doors for any signs of damage.

These considerations are important because the easiest way to upgrade your hinges is to replace the doors as well. Custom-cut doors will fit your old cabinets perfectly, and since the doors are the most visible element, replacing them makes the whole cabinet look new. Once the doors are delivered, you simply need to put the hinges into the pre-drilled holes and hang the doors. Afterwards, your space looks amazing and the doors perform better than ever.

The Door Stop offers an extensive selection of custom cabinet doors in different styles, wood species, and finish options. If you so choose, any of our doors can be drilled with hinge holes. We also sell premium soft-close hinges that perfectly fit those holes. Are you ready to order? Visit our how to order page to get started. Want to see more?
