Frequently Asked Questions

1. What are soft close hinges?

Soft-close hinges are a hinge mechanism that can be installed into cabinets and drawers to stop them from slamming shut. The dampener slows down the speed of the closing drawer, which results in a much smoother, controlled experience.

2. Can you put soft close hinges on any cabinet?

Yes, you can use soft close hinges on most cabinets. There may be a few cabinets and drawers that are an exception; however, it is always best to check with a professional installer before purchasing new soft close hinges.

3. Can you convert regular hinges to soft close?

It is not possible to convert a regular hinge to a soft close hinge as these hinges have a hydraulic damper built into the hinge, however it is possible to replace regular hinges to soft close hinges yourself with simple at home tools. If you are doing this, make sure to choose the correct hinges for the cabinet.

4. What is the difference between soft close and self close?

Soft close and self close hinges are slightly different. They both aim to close the door automatically, however, a soft close hinge uses a hydraulic and damper system and smoothly closes until shut, where a self close hinge uses a spring system to pull the door shut. This usually completely closes with a tap or click.
