What is included in a pack?

Do I need special tools for installation?

You will need a screwdriver suitable for chipboard screws with a diameter of Ø 3.5 mm or 4 mm.

Can I use this with any cabinet hinge?

No, this product is designed for hinges that already have a spring and an adapter plate. It is not compatible with all hinge types.

What is the main benefit of soft close adapters?

The primary benefit is preventing cabinet doors from slamming shut, reducing noise and wear on the cabinets and hinges.

What is the material of the adapter?

The adapters are made from durable grey plastic.

How many doors can one pack outfit?

Troubleshooting

Cabinet door does not close softly

Verify that the soft-close piston is correctly installed and aligned with the hinge mechanism. Ensure the mounting screws are tight and that the hinge itself is functioning correctly.

Adapter seems loose or unstable

Check that the appropriate size chipboard screws (Ø 3.5 or 4 mm) were used and are fully tightened. Ensure the mounting surface is solid and free from damage.

Door closes too slowly or not at all

This could indicate insufficient closing force from the main hinge spring or an obstruction. Check for any binding in the hinge and ensure the soft-close piston is not overly stiff.
