💡 Blum 38N355BE08x50S Compact Soft-Close Hinges, 1/2'' Overlay Blumotion, Pack of 50 - Nickel Finish Review

The best and one of the easiest DIY projects and relatively inexpensive! It only took me a few hours to install one or two of these (two doors close even slower) in 15 closet doors. I love them so much that I find excuses to open doors and then close them just for the fun of watching them slowly close. Be sure to watch YouTube videos showing installation and setup. The three adjustment screws work great for leveling the doors once you get comfortable with them and it didn't take long at all…

These hinges were purchased to replace standard kitchen cabinet hinges which always leave something to be desired. Blum's soft-close hinges were just as "bigger" as I needed. There are many more pluses than minuses. Advantages: • The soft-close function is reliable, which means cabinets are almost impossible to slam shut. Great if you have kids at home. • There are 3 settings to adapt the soft close function to the cabinet door weight. One allows you to disable it completely. • Easy trim…

Blum hinges fit perfectly into the slots of the standard 1/2 inch hinges they have replaced. The hinges have a light gray switch between light (0) and heavy (1) dampening Sides of a cabinet door hinge. If you mount two hinges on a door, you can choose between strong damping, two light damping, or one strong and one light damping to change the closing speed of the cabinet door. I have attached a close-up of the hinge to position 0 to check. After changing the hinge setting, close the cabinet…

Updated kitchen My entire kitchen so in addition to a few coats of paint on the existing cabinets, the cabinets also got new modern handles along with replacing outside hinges with these soft close hinges by flower. The kitchen looks great and the cabinets don't slam anymore. No installation problems, remember; slow smooth and smooth fast. I also installed nickel plated metal covers from Blum Blank which gives a nice finishing touch. However, I wish I had installed a Blumotion 86 degree nylon…

Almost? This would be ideal if the hinge doesn't go into the cabinet about 3/8" to 1/2" from the point of attachment. The original Aristokraft hinge sat almost flush, but they were 16 and tired of shutting doors. I looked at many types and didn't measure the pickguard but guessed from the pictures and it was the correct size I needed after figuring out what the pickguard meant after I bought them. I've tried these and the Amerock style but they weren't soft and ended up returning them because…

Our 30 year old cabinets were starting to open and close poorly and it was obvious that the old Blum -Hinges broke. Mostly nickel plated metal but there are plastic inserts for the pivot area. You have to be very careful choosing hinges that attach in the same way as your existing ones. Some screw into the front (outside) of the cabinet frame, while others like this one screw into the cabinet frame inside edge of the frame.I was a bit concerned whether the distances between the hinges and the…
