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

As our cabinets were manufactured and installed before those slow closing mechanisms became popular and the doors were always slamming I thought they were perfect and within a few days they were. They were really easy to install - I think it took me about an hour to install them all - seemed to work well and did what they were supposed to do. For about a week. The whole point of these devices is to prevent closet doors from slamming. But since they're plastic, you have to be careful with them, and that's the whole problem. It's no better than having none at all. The problem is that, as mentioned above, they are made of plastic. That's how the little plastic "ridge" that rests on the edge of the case and is supposed to hold the air stick in place will snap into place if you're not careful. As soon as it clicks into place, the small device is jerked off its axis and you slam the cabinet doors shut again. For this type of construction to work, the body of the device must be made of metal, or at least a much stronger plastic. . About 12 of them have already broken. To me, that makes them useless - you're not saving any money.
