I got these to add the soft close feature to my cabinet doors. I couldn’t do it without buying the special jig to make cuts for soft close hinges. These were a great solution and were very easy to install.

These after-market, soft-close door dampers, work exactly as advertised and are a wonderful improvement for our kitchen cabinet doors.Before purchasing, I read through numerous reviews regarding this item for any tips/tricks regarding the install and I did need to purchase a "right-angle" drill adaptor for our handheld drill along with a hex-end drill bit in order to pre-drill the hole. With those in hand, the installation was very easy.The only down side with my entire experience is that the set of 20 dampers I purchased came with 10 long screws (for use with the spacers) and 10 short screws (when not using the spacers). I needed a total of 20 long screws since I had to use the spacers with each damper install. I gave the 5 Star review because these adaptors work great and the long screw issue was resolved through Amazon.

No issues whatsoever with the hardware. They work wonderfully and I highly recommend them. Very easy to install and adjust.Beware: I ordered 2 of the 20-packs from BeautyParadise. Each package only had half the screws (see photo). The short ones are for installing the units without the spacers, and the long ones with the spacers. Not a huge issue other than now I have to make a run to the hardware store and buy more screws.FWIW, note in the photo that in each package of 20 units, I received 9 left-hand and 11 right-hand units. This should not be a problem because the units can be installed on either side, but wha's up with that?

We are mostly through a home renovation project, so most cabinets are new. We kept existing cabinets in the laundry and kids' bathrooms, and I bought a 10-pack of these dampers to add soft-close to those existing cabinets. I originally checked into replacing the hinges with soft-close, but couldn't find an exact match - so I looked for an add-on soft close damper and found these. They do the job, install easily, and are pretty inexpensive in a 10-pack.The plastic spacer is meant for partial overlay hinges (see Blum's catalog for application notes and install tips) and locates easily on a 3/4" face frame.For frameless cabinets, I removed the rear ear of the plastic spacer using flush cutters, leaving the front ear to index on the front of the cabinet. Another reviewer mentioned dremeling this off, which would work, but a pair of flush cutters took care of it quickly.

This product is exactly as advertised, made well of excellent metals and works perfectly.We installed 46 of them throughout the house in under two hours and now enjoy the soundsof silence. Fabulous device!!!

I bought a pack of 50, only one was not functional. They seem like pretty solid construction with a good weight to them. The spacer was needed in my case because I have framed overlay cabinets.Pros:Easy to install (in most cases)AdjustableWell made durable constructionThe dampener is quiet and works perfectly.Much cheaper alternative to soft close hingesCons:Depending on the thickness of your cabinet frame the lip on the spacer piece may not fit around it. You can still install it, but you have to be careful to place it so it doesn't sit at an awkward angle. My cabinet frames are are 20.5mm (~0.8"), and the lip on the spacer can fit around a 19mm frame Because of this, I had to install it ~0.5" from the top and PERFECTLY in the center so that it didn't sit at an angle. If the spacer didn't have the lips on the side or top I think it would be better. I do understand why it's there. In an ideal situation it would fit perfectly around the frame and provide extra support to prevent it from moving. In my case, I need to rely on the single screw itself to hold it in place. Not the fault of the product, but something to be aware of. Possibly some DIY modification to the spacer could be necessary.

Great product an instant upgrade to your existing cabinet doors!

Very high quality, easy to install.It works really great!

Was easy to install and they work great

I used these Blumotion Hinge Adapters for compact door hinges on my Merrilat-brand cabinets. While these hinge-adapter bumpers are not specifically advertised as being universal I read a lot of other reviews from other customers who used them for other cabinets with non-blumotion hinges and since they said these worked well for them I took the chance.And am I ever glad I did -they work WONDERFULLY.Installation was a real snap using a flexible shaft bit extension. You REALLY need one of those to put these in correctly or else you are not going to be able to get your drill or driver in at the correct angle and the crooked screw is going to make the bumper sit askew. What you want looks just like this: [...] or you can buy it locally at your friendly home or hardware store.You'll also need a drill bit that fits a 1/4" bit extension since you want to pre-drill the hole or risk cracking and ruining the wood on your cabinet. A set like this is what you want: [...] you can buy something like that locally as well but you will need a drill that can make the pilot hole that will fit in the 1/4" socket of the flexible extension so it will drill into the cabinet face straight or you will also have crooked bumper.The easiest way to mark where you want to drill this hole is to hold the bumper up to the cabinet in the corner and use a scratch awl through it to bop a small divot in the wood with a hammer. Then you can use the flexible bit with the correct sized drill to make your pilot hole. The tool you want is a scratch awl like this one: [...] -once again this tool can be bought locally.Using this method you can mark the hole, drill it, and then screw in the bumper all in about a minute flat and get on to the next cabinet door. I opened up all my bags and determined which part I needed and put them into a small container to bring them with me as I moved from door to door. After adjusting the first door I knew exactly how many turns I had to adjust the adjustment screw and did all of them at the same time. From that point it was an assembly line and I knocked each door out in under a minute. The whole job only took an hour or so to do every cabinet in the house -including clean-up.Pros:*All-metal housing makes for a strong and durable mount even though it only uses one screw. It's built to jam into the corner and if you are careful to drill a good pilot hole it will fit in there like it came with the cabinet.*The kit comes to do both the compact door hinges with overlap and the without overlap: The plastic spacer and longer screw are for those doors that have no overlap around the outside face opening.*These are so easy to put up if you follow my instructions above. You only need a drill, a flexible bit extension, a hex-drive drill bit set, a scratch awl, a hammer, and a #1 phillips-head hex bit. A phillips screwdriver is needed to adjust the tension -but doesn't everyone have one of those? Optionally, a 90-degree phillips screwdriver is really handy to get that last bit of torque on the screw so you don't have to worry about stripping the screw-head (the flex-extension is a bit hard to get pressure on the screw) or over-tightening it. But if you don't have one of those a regular phillips screwdriver will work if you need to get the screw a little tighter than you can get with the flexy shaft.Cons:*You have to buy these things in a set of 10 to get a good deal. They are a little more expensive than the other brands but after reading about how the others would break or get loose because they were plasticy I figured it was worth it to only have to do the job once. These are high-quality items so you are just going to have to pay a Finn each for them or go with the cheapos and take your chances.These things are great and easy to install if you have the right tools (see above.) They work OH SO NICE -and have a lot of adjustment to account for how large your door is or how much spring your hinges have pulling them closed. Really large doors like those for full-height pantries might need two of these per door. The adjustment can be made pretty stiff but the door might want to twist if it is 4+ feet long and only has one of these on the top and not one on the bottom. For regular sized upper or lower cabinet doors just one bumper at the top corner is needed.Just buy some and put them in. I wish I had put these in YEARS ago -no more slamming doors! You won't be sorry.
