Review on 🔒 Rok Hardware 25 Pack Soft Close Damper for Cabinet Doors | Compact & Polished Nickel | Hinge SCD103 by Micheal Chaplain

These shock absorbers are too weak. If you are wondering what is the difference between this ($2/unit) and the $3.50/unit damper, see the attached photo. The housing surrounding the piston is made of chrome-plated plastic. The piston's stroke length is also quite disappointing, resulting in the damper engaging the cabinet door at a much more acute angle (about 20-25 degrees) when the door is closing. not giving enough time to resist the momentum of the closing door. I had to tighten the maximum piston force setting on each damper; which successfully closes the cabinet door softly maybe 3 times out of 5. When the door closes with little more than a passive release, the door slams shut. size and weight) of the cabinet door, and the use of just one of these dampers per door is sufficient to prevent slamming even if the door is closed jerkily. If I use two of these Rok dampers per closet door my cost per door is higher than using heavy duty dampers. This damper is probably suitable for light/small cabinet doors; Expect 2 per door if the door is considered large/heavy.
