Soft-close cabinet doors are pretty much the new norm. If your cabinets were built without soft close doors, don’t worry, we have a solution for you! Adding soft close adaptors<\/a> to your existing cabinets can be a simple and cost-effective way to upgrade. You will love the functionality of this simple upgrade to your kitchen or bathroom. These adaptors are designed to slow down the closing speed of cabinet doors, reducing the risk of damage to the doors and the cabinet itself, as well as reducing noise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To install soft close adaptors, you will need a screwdriver, a drill, and the adaptors themselves. (The adaptors come with screws) You will also need to know if your cabinet door hinges are self-closing<\/a> or free-swing. If they are free-swing, unfortunately, these adaptors will not work for your cabinets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
