Blum blumotion soft door closers...

Those clip on door dampers should fit, but if it is possible I would try it with one first, as not all of the Blum hinges that look like they can accommodate the clips ons can.

Although one per hinge are advised, you might well find that one per door is adequate for smaller (narrower than 600mm) doors.

If you have any bi fold doors you will need a different type of damper as well as some of those barrel style dampers for where the second door closes against the gable.

We have succesfully retro fitted drawers with the in-gable barrel type plunger damper before, although the manufacturers do not recommend it.

If you are not up to drilling straight into the gable for the barrel location, a bracket can also be purchased that allows you to mount the barrel on the inside of the gable instead.

Cheers,

Hi Matt,

Thanks for sharing that info!
Will definitely have those too in our house!

Sure Kev,



10mm hole aprrox 75mm deep!

They are not as good as the hinge mounted but they certainly quiet the motion down...

Hmmmm.....4 year old who only knows one speed and one volume...may have to consider.

I feel your pain

..... who is???

Matt
Did you put one on each side of the draw or only one side?

So for the door ones, how do you fit them? I can't quite work out how that happens - do you replace part of the hinge with the new piece, or does it add on to what's there?

And the price you got them for is great!

There are two types of door ones:

- the ones that simply clip into your existing door hinges in you have Blum hinges (no tools required, no replacing anything, you simply clip them onto the top).

- the ones that you screw in to the inside of your cupboard carcass separate from your hinges (therefore it doesn't matter what brand your hinges are).

I installed mine yesterday, and luckily for me this was made easy due to the fact that my kitchen was built with Blum hinges.

As far as the drawer ones go, I put two in for every drawer, as they are a little light-on as far as how much force the absorb. Two seemed to be just enough IMHO, and they're still very easy to install - you simply drill a 10mm diameter hole (around 60mm to 70mm deep from memory, just more than long enough to accomodate the body of this thing) where ever you want to put one, then just shove it in the hole. Done.

Loving the result...
