sSoft-closures are becoming more and more popular in modern homes today. This is because, despite their higher price tag, they offer many real-world benefits over standard hinges.
Soft-close hinges were designed to eliminate slamming cupboard doors, so their main benefit is obvious in that they ensure cupboard doors close softly and silently. But beyond their lack of noise, this speed is also a great benefit for families, since the slow closing hinges means young children won’t get their fingers caught in the doors. Because soft close hinges close themselves slowly once engaged, they make it far easier to move around your kitchen since you can close doors with just a nudge, even while your hands are full. Like most higher-quality items, soft closures also offer added longevity. The hinges are put under less stress, and the smooth movement extends the life of both the hinge itself and the cabinets they’re fixed to.
