Review on πŸ”© Durable Plastic Dowels for Hinges (70.0532), 100-Pack: 8.6mm x 10.6mm by Robert Fulce

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A good and inexpensive tool for attaching hinges without dowels.

So I bought kitchen cabinet doors with pre-drilled holes, but for some strange reason the soft close hinges sold at Home Depot don't come with dowels. The <i>not</i> switches close, but the ones I wanted don't close. Who knows why. So I bought these dowels and that solved the problem. The only thing that confuses me is that they didn't fit at first; I had to use a drill to widen the holes a bit before I could hammer them in with a couple of hammer blows. Maybe because I painted the doors are they a bit swollen? It was a minor thing that was easy to fix and ended up working great, but be aware that this can be an issue.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Obsolete model
