In this post I’ll walk you through exactly how to add soft close hinges to the existing cabinetry in your kitchen. How much does it cost to add soft close to cabinets? Doors run freely at between 25 and 60 degrees. When closing, the door is slowed down when it reaches around 25 degrees thanks to the active dampening. It then closes silently (soft close principle). GEZE ActiveStop therefore not only prevents the door from slamming loudly, but also prevents damage to the door and trapped fingers. The GEZE ActiveStop received Silver for the Focus Open 2017 award for the variant fitted on the frame. The Baden-Württemberg Design Centre judging panel recognised the product as an innovative solution with exceptional design quality. With compact soft close hinges, the hydraulic mechanism is smaller, and fits inside of the hinge itself. This style has an inherent space constraint for the hydraulics and because of this, the performance suffers somewhat.

Conventional non-soft-close hidden hinges are often shallow, so you may need to drill the hole deeper. When opening, the system moves the door independently and safely as far as the hold-open position, which can be individually set between 80 to 140 degrees, so the door cannot damage the walls or furniture. GEZE ActiveStop brakes the door at the right time and keeps it open safely in the required position.
Compact hinges are small, simple, and affordable. They work well, but are not quite robust as premium long arm hinges. Depending on your budget for this project, compact hinges might be worth considering because they cost around half.

The next step is to install a mounting plate onto the cabinet. The picture above shows a mounting plate being installed to a face frame cabinet. The mounting plate is installed directly to the face frame. Always use the proper PPE (personal protective equipment) and use safe practices when working with power tools.

In this blog we will be looking at soft close systems for sliding doors, also known as ‘soft stop’ systems. Specifically, what they are and why we recommend them.
