Cabinets have been an integral part of kitchens for a very long time. Previously only custom made, technology has allowed for kitchen cabinets to be easily manufactured and fitted for every home with innovative flatpack systems. Moreover, they come in a range of styles and finishes, there’s a vast array to choose from. Interestingly enough, it’s not just the exterior that has undergone upgrades but also an inconspicuous part of the interior that often goes unnoticed. That’s right; the hinges of the cabinet have had some changes of their own. From kitchen corner hinges that make uses of the dead space in the corner of your kitchen to soft close hinges, they’ve certainly come a long way from their proprietary purpose.

Soft close hinges are a subtle invention used in day-today living, providing its services naturally and unobtrusively. The innovative design allows for cabinet doors and drawers to close softly and silently rather than slamming shut. These special hinges activate at the last 25 degrees of closure, slowing down the door and eases it ...
... close softly and quietly.

In addition to peace and quiet, soft close hinges also prolong the lifespan of the kitchen cabinets by removing the impact of a door slam. Slamming can easily cause damage and breakage not only to the doors and the cabinet frames but also to the hinges themselves. Damaged hinges will lead to stiff, loose or uneven doors that might not close properly. Not only that, faulty cabinet doors will also affect the contents stored within. Fragile tableware and glasses are susceptible to damage and possibly even breaking entirely. Moreover, the contents of the cabinet are kept in place and not scattered about due to the gentle closing.
