Soft-Close Cabinet Hinges

Soft-close hinges slow the cabinet door in its last few degrees of travel so it closes quietly every time, with no slamming. The hinges here are concealed (Euro-style) hinges with the damper built in, from Blum, Pride Industrial and FGV. They come in versions for face-frame and frameless cabinets and for full overlay, half overlay and inset doors.

Soft-close hinges for face-frame cabinets

  • Blum Compact 38N: one-piece face-frame hinge, soft-closing version in overlays from 5/16" to 3/4", screw-on or press-in, 105° opening.
  • Blum Compact 39C: soft-closing version for larger overlays, 1" to 1-9/16", 110° opening.
  • Blum Compact Clip with Blumotion: a two-piece face-frame hinge that clips on, with soft-close built in.

Soft-close hinges for overlay and inset doors

Keep your hinges, add soft-close

If your hinges are in good shape, a Blumotion add-on damper can stop the slamming without a full swap. Choose the Blumotion for doors 970A for Euro hinges, the Blumotion clip-on 973A in full overlay or half overlay, or the Blumotion kit for Blum Compact hinges. Find more in hinge accessories.

How to choose soft-close cabinet hinges

Match three things to your cabinet: face frame or frameless, the door position (full overlay, half overlay or inset) and the overlay amount. Then pick the mounting (screw-on or press-in) and, for two-piece hinges, the mounting plates. Doing the whole kitchen? Read how to upgrade to soft-close hinges, or see all concealed cabinet hinges.

Questions

Can you put soft-close hinges on existing cabinets?

Yes. If the new hinge matches the type and mounting of the old one, it's a straight swap. If you'd rather keep your hinges, add a Blumotion damper such as the 970A for Euro hinges.

How do I know which soft-close hinges to buy?

Check whether your cabinet has a face frame, whether the door is full overlay, half overlay or inset, and how much it overlays the opening. Face-frame cabinets usually take a Blum Compact hinge; full overlay, half overlay and inset doors take the matching Clip Top Blumotion or Pride Industrial version.

Are Blumotion hinges soft-close?

Yes. Blumotion is Blum's soft-close system. Clip Top Blumotion and Compact Clip with Blumotion hinges have it built in.

Which soft-close hinges are most popular?

Blum Compact 38N and 39C face-frame hinges and Blum Clip Top Blumotion 110° hinges are among our best-selling hinges.

Do soft-close hinges work on face-frame cabinets?

Yes. The Blum Compact 38N and 39C come in soft-closing versions for face-frame cabinets, and the Blumotion kit for Compact hinges adds soft-close to Compact hinges you already have.
