Do thes restrictor clip interfer with the soft closing of the cabinet doors?

Ours works fine. We have the soft close unit seperate from the hinge. You just pop the clips into the hinge, it takes 2 seconds and they work great!

No not at all. They just restric the door from opening all the way. I have these clips on all mine that are next to the wall and it has completely saved my walls and soft closes work like a dream

No, it just restricts the door from opening all the way. Good to stop it from hitting a wall or other cabinet doors.

Don't know for sure, but I believe the trigger is magnetic, so the pieces being close enough (with no interference) in the "closed door" state is what makes this work.

Yes, the the metal clips that go over the top of the door are bendable so that you can adjust them to the thickness of your door.

That will happen with this model it opens little more than half way. That's to avoid tipping over when drawer is full. Hope this was helpful

I agree. The MagicCloser initiates the door closing, however, that's where MagicCloser stops and your sensor takes over.

Only on certain doors. Wont be able to close all the way on doors that have a tight gap between the door and frame.

It's a magnet on the top of the door. I haven't had any problems with mine staying closed.

No it is not a soft closing hinge the screw depends on the type of wood and depth you want be sure and drill a pilot

I have it set to just reach the closed position but not to overcome the door latch and lock the door. In this case it is a soft close. If you increase the tension to close the door until it latches, it will probably accelerate somewhat due to the momentum gained while it swings shut.

The drawers would need to pull themselves closed like the cabinet doors hinges do. Some drawers are design to automatically pull the drawer in when you get it to about an inch away by the type of rails the drawer rides on and many include a soft close feature with that.

I have never had a problem closing the door once the unit is hung - however you can't have it too far towards the hinge, or then it won't close. Keep the unit in the middle or towards the opening of the door and you shouldn't experience any problems.

Hello Johathan, The restrictor clips work great. I used them on the BLUmotion hinges used by Kraftmaid.

No. Even one of the low profile usb drives will keep the door from closing completely.

If you are asking if it will prevent the door from slamming, no it won't if it is mounted in such a way as to close the door. The way it works is that there is a spring inside the vertical part of it that presses the lateral arm against the door, which closes the door. The lateral arm just slides in a track (provided) that prevents damage to the door. If you want to use it to prevent the door from slamming, you could mount it on the other side of the door with the lateral arm pushing the door open rather than closed. The pressure is adjustable and might be able to slow or soften the closing of the door.

Yes, provided there is a place where they can be mounted in the cabinet so as to contact the door within an inch to two of the hinge axis...hard to describe in text! The cylinder is mounted on the frame of the door. As the door closes, the plunger, which protrudes from the cylinder, comes into contact with the door itself and cushions the close. The door must have some kind of at least moderate closing force from a spring to work.Mine have been in use fora number of cabinet doors for several years and are easy to install and work fine.

Yes. You need a bit of room on either side of the closure (door/frame) for the metal plate. If there is wood-trim too close to the edge it will be slightly loose but still effective. The idea is to prevent casual entry, to make noise if tampered with, and to slow down a thief while the alarm is ringing. Most thieves want to be in and out in minutes and this adds another problem to their navigation.

Looking at the picture, it would appear that there is a tension screw that you adjust from the bottom of the cabinet. This would essentially pinch the bottom panel of the cabinet and is not permanent.
