Soft Close Drawers Video
Have you ever heard of soft close drawers? I had my first experience with soft close drawers this past week and, it seems odd to say, but they are pretty cool. Soft close drawers have quickly become a very popular addition to many kitchen and bathroom drawers and even cabinets. I recorded a quick demonstration so you can see how they function.
How Soft Close Drawers Work
Soft close drawers have a spring mechanism embedded in the drawer runners. After the drawer reaches a certain point on the runner, the spring acts to slowly pull the drawer closed. Even if you slam the drawer, a shock absorber slows the momentum of the drawer, causing it to close in a smooth, quiet fashion.
Problems with Soft Close Drawers
People joke that the only problem with soft close drawers is that you become accustomed to them and start slamming all other drawers. But, there seems to be one other complaint. Some soft close drawers do not close well unless you put some force behind it. This is could be caused by unlevel drawer runners that encourage the drawer to remain open.
What do you think? Do you have soft close drawers? Do you like them?
