Great Price Soft Close Hinges

Ordered 50 of these soft close hinges. The packaging was fine. They seemed straight out of a Chinese factory, but they work great! They appear to be quite durable and have weight. I replaced the existing hinges in my kitchen which looked similar except they closed smoothly. It was fairly easy to install and I used the supplied mounting screws from the cabinets. They also come with their own screws and they are pretty good quality. The soft close feature works as it should and it's really nice! No more clapping! I replaced the top and bottom hinges on a closet door. Watch the video to see how they work. You can get away with installing just 1 soft-closing hinge and leaving the other. I recommend swapping both out, though, as there's little difference between the hinges in how slowly they close. Some of my doors close a little faster than others (not that I have a race with doors). One thing I didn't like is that the closet door opens fully when it's over 45 degrees or closes gently when it's less. Essentially, the cabinet door is either fully open or fully closed. You will have nothing in between. While this is by no means a deal breaker, just a mention for future buyers. As I ordered 50 pieces one of the hinges was bent as shown in the attached picture and one of them didn't open properly. So I ended up with 48. Not too bad since I had a few extras anyway. But heck yes, I recommend them for the price!

Pros
  • Sturdy Construction
