Smoothness no longer clap

This product is amazing! The drawers close perfectly and gently. I only put 1 on my heaviest draw (silverware) and it works great, the instructions are very easy to understand. I recommend drilling a small pilot hole for the screws to make screwing them in less frustrating. Also, be careful with the tool used to install the rails inside the case: the small tabs used to attach them break off easily.

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Some problems

Closing works great. little extra effort required to open

This is basically the only universal option I could find for a metal drawer. Installation was very easy with the plastic alignment tool. I love how it slowly closed the drawer no matter how tight you closed it. I ended up sending them back because my wife didn't like the hassle of opening the drawer for the first time and couldn't get used to it. If I lived alone I would keep her.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Can't remember

Easy Install Soft Close for Metal Drawers

After deciding to install soft close drawers throughout my home, it turned out to be an inexpensive solution. I found manufacturer videos on YouTube and was able to easily add them to all my boxes. Providing two extra pieces, one that attaches under the drawer and a bracket to measure the drawer itself made the project very easy to install. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a cheap and easy soft close alternative to metal drawers.

Pros
  • Pretty Impressive
Cons
  • Zero

Worth the money, the best among the drawers

Installation was relatively easy. Use the guide they give you and make sure it is 100% perpendicular to your cabinet before screwing it on. I was wrong due to the lack of squareness and the drawer didn't close properly. I corrected the error slightly by making sure the guide was square before marking the holes and screwing them in. A side note: it's always easier to pre-drill a laminate before attempting to screw it. This allows the screws to penetrate the laminate much more easily. In general,

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • The list is long.

Very smart solution for metal frame drawers

This is a great solution for metal frame drawers, meaning you don't need all new drawers and runners just to get the soft close feature (which can cost thousands ). The rails are plastic with rather flimsy looking springs so I'm not sure about the durability but they are economical enough that you can buy some extras to just replace the ones that are in commonly used drawers (like the cutlery drawer) be used. ) if they don't work. And the last. Some of my packages were missing screws (and one…

Pros
  • Ease of use
Cons
  • Reliability

They work! Best in Hardware

Awesome stuff! They are easy - if a little tedious - to install and work exactly as advertised. What an inexpensive and easy way to update an old set of cabinets that are otherwise in great condition. I rarely write product reviews, but these little adapters are really great and I highly recommend them if you want soft-closing drawers. Here's an installation tip I came up with after I finished the 3rd box. Simply install the 1st screw (the one that goes in the slot) according to the…

Pros
  • Requires 1/2" minimum side clearance and 9" drawer depth. Heavy drawers may require 2 adapters.
Cons
  • The cable is shorter than other picks

Luckily there is a video on YouTube that demonstrates this.

The instructions for this product are ONLY some drawings which are totally unclear and unusable. Luckily there is a video on YouTube that illustrates the installation process very well. I installed one each on two short metal boxes, which were very light. One resulted in a soft close, but not before the drawer was fully pushed in. It turns out that the position of the closing point depends on the thickness of the drawer front. There are ways to compensate for this. The second setting, identical

Pros
  • 2-3/16" + drawer slide height for minimum drawer height
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Instant high-end watch!

Installation was pretty easy. I'm not a very hands-on person, but I watched the manufacturer's installation video on YouTube, which made the installation so easy. I didn't even bother to read the paper instructions. It might help if you have a drill so you can pre-drill some screw holes to make things easier for you, but it's not necessary. They worked great and didn't need to be adjusted after installation. I'm very happy and hope they last. Two of my drawers are not too wide and heavy, and…

Pros
  • Now you can add a soft close feature to your metal drawers
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
