It still strikes. on cabinet hardware

Not slow to close at all? If there is no way to adjust, I'm not reading Chinese. Great idea, terrible result. The lid still closes. Have to order something else now. Extremely disappointed.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • -

Bad instructions not in English

This product may be good, but if you can't read Chinese, good luck with the installation. We bought this to put on a toy box we made as a gift and ended up having to fill in the holes and try to patch them up because all you have to do is take 10 different pictures that aren't even say something. You what to do just shows you the angle. I wouldn't recommend it if you don't know how to install this from scratch before you buy it.

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • periodicity

Does not match the ad: Hardware

Waste of money. waste of time. First of all, they came with instructions that weren't in English. Second, they were difficult to install (perhaps because we didn't have instructions). Third, they DO NOT close softly. Exactly the opposite. They strike. The top of our toy box only weighs about 8 pounds and we installed a hinge on each side. The maximum weight requirement should be easily covered. We have to take them off and send them back for a refund, they are so pathetic.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • New competitors have appeared

Terrible directions, not worth the hassle

Not even worth the one star I should have given. The attached instructions are in Chinese, but the English version has been emailed separately, but it's still impossible to follow and understand. It took over an hour to finally figure out how to install it, multiple attempts resulted in the inside of the toy box being riddled with holes. If you're looking for a toy box hinge, look elsewhere. I would never recommend this one, it's not worth the hassle and I'm sure there are other options that…

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Lots of stuff

They are NOT "soft " as the label says:

They are very easy to install although they don't come with clear instructions. This one in the Amazon app, as you scroll through the images, is blurry and not very detailed. However, if you use them for your build it should be easy, but there are two problems. No washers or lock washers are supplied and mine doesn't close smoothly at all! They actually strike, watch your fingers close. I've already tried tightening and loosening a so-called "adjustable screw", they don't do anything, so I…

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Vulgarity

If you are reading this DO NOT BUY

If you are purchasing this product based on the advertised results. Keep looking elsewhere. I don't know what world this would be considered a soft-closing loop in, but let me tell you, it's not on earth. The instructions that came with the product are best described as a nondescript screenshot of the images on this product page. It was easy to install, but it worked like it had never been installed. I did notice a slight tightening of the rotating part when first installing so I flipped it…

Pros
  • This is awesome
Cons
  • Updates

Couldn't get them to close gently.

I installed them on a hope box with a lid that can weigh 5 pounds and is about 36 inches in diameter. While they're not difficult to install, they do require a bit more force than just your average hinge. It would be nice if they actually did close softly as advertised, but once the hinge mechanism starts to fold to close the lid, it falls free when closed. . as expected but I adjusted them to size and even tried moving the hinges to see if I could find that sweet spot but after a few…

Check the measurements and it will work great.

My first attempt was unsuccessful. I thought I figured out the mechanics behind it and then went for it. Big mistake like many people in the reviews. However, if you stop, look at the dimensions, and carefully place the mechanism at the exact distance from the door's pivot point, it works great. Dimensions are in metric "mm". I used a digital caliper to get them exactly as instructed. Once I got it perfect following the measurements it works. My door is a little lighter than it needs to be to…

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

It wasn't easy to install but works great

tl;dr Use the enclosed English instructions, cross your fingers and it works great. I bought this because I have a vintage trunk that my grandkids love to play with and I'm scared to death they'll get hurt. Contrary to what some reviews say, it does exactly what the seller says - holds the chest lid up and closes very slowly when closed. There seems to have been an older version, which might not have been - this version has a gray plastic thing - slower and works fine. installation problem. It…

Pros
  • Excellent design
Cons
  • Bad impression
