Great job demonstrating something that should be standard on all new cabinets in my opinion. My cabinets (and counter tops) were one of the biggest expenses in my new kitchen 17 years ago and I didn't even know these existed. Thanks for showing how easy this is to do too🙂

Hi Scott, thanks for this video, you made it look quite easy!! We replaced non-soft close hinges and drawer slides with soft close versions for our previous home (kitchen) and absolutely loved it. It was rather costly to have the guy who painted our cabinets to also do the hinge/glide replacements but we had no idea how to do it ourselves. After thirty years of being a military family, we finally transitioned to civilian life and purchased our forever home a couple months ago. The home we purchased was built in 1999 and has solid maple cabinets in the kitchen. What we don’t love is that the cabinet doors have 1/4 inch square notches (visible from the outside - cut all the way through from back to front of doors) where the odd non-soft close hinges are attached. Have you ever seen this? I don’t think I’ve ever seen it and can’t imagine why those particular hinges were used 🧐. We want to refinish the cabinets and add soft-close hinges throughout but I’m not sure how we can hide those notches ??? Do you have any suggestions? Also, do you have a video on replacing drawer slides to soft-close ones? I watched the guy who did our other kitchen and it looked a bit tricky, much trickier than the doors. I hope you see this and are able to reply :-). PS- I just found out what our hinges are called: Snap-Closing Semi-Concealed Hinges - For 1/4" Overlay Doors (found on Rockler)

Don't buy hinges from amazon. People get forgeries, broken or damaged hinges and the wrong number of hinges. I ordered from Woodworkers hardware and got all the correct parts and it only took about 4 days from order to delivery. Amazon is a garbage company that needs to go out of business.

Pro tip: install the hinge on the cabinet first and use the round nub to hold the weight of the door while putting in the screws. Also, pay the extra dollar and get the upgraded blum hinges that have the mechanical height adjustment.

The reason he took the door down is because he had to drill new holes for the door and trim the plastic thing off. This is not something you would do while the door is up. He should have filled the old hole and painted over it while he was at it.

The self-centering drill bit is pretty cool. I've managed well in the past without one. A center punch can do the same thing, depending on the fit. I used to draw a circle in each hinge hole with the hinge in place and use a spring-driven center punch with a pretty long and fine pointed tip, but your self-centering drill bit would certainly save a lot of time. I wonder if it can accept a range of drill bit sizes, or if you need a collection of self-centering drill units for various screw widths and depths. Is the depth adjustable? That's two questions. Thank you, Scott. Great work.

Hey Derek, check the little white slider/switch on the dark gray plaster part of the hinge. Make sure the slider is in the position which activated the “soft” feature. If that is set correctly and it still doesn’t work I would pickup probably 10 spare hinges link in the video description. Always good to have plenty of spares thinking years down the road. Best of luck and let me know if you have any other questions.

Hey Lisa, I just measured mine and I have 3/16 of a gap so almost a 1/4 inch like you. I measured 1 of the cabinets which still have my old hinges and that also had 3/16 of an inch. There is a screw on the hinge which might have a bit of adjustment left to close your gap a bit more. The screw is located the furthest away from the hinge pivot. See if that helps.

@@EverydayHomeRepairs thanks for responding! I don't know the technical terms, so I appreciate the patience. I am renting and the unit is 'newly renovated'. It looks like the L bracket of the hinge thats attached to the faceplate was not installed properly and is about 1/4in off. So the door doesn't close no matter how much i adjust the hinges. I wanted to avoided replacing the plates but I might have too.

Hey Ray, if you purchased the same hinges you will see a small light grey switch you can turn on and off the soft close piston. This should do the trick.

What do you do if some of the screw holes in wood are stripped?
@EverydayHomeRepairs
@EverydayHomeRepairs 3 жыл бұрын
Are the holes using the plastic inserts or just the wood? If plastic inserts I would pull out the old and add new. If the wood is stripped you could try toothpicks, golf tees, or dowel rods to fill the holes with a little wood glue.

Thank you, Scott for making this video! My husband and I also purchased our soft close hundred from Amazon and are working to install them. We did notice that when we fully extend the joint (not sure what else to call it) it rubs up against the door, making it basically unusable. Do you think we got the incorrect size? Or do you think we are trying to install in improperly? Thank you in advance for your help!

Hey Katelynn, check out my other video on measuring and selecting the correct hinges. Specifically you might have selected the incorrect overlay which can lead to a problem as you outlined. My other video is called - How To Measure and Pick Replacement Cabinet Hinges.

It does seem to be the overlay. It looks like our doors are 1-2 mm too thick. We may try to grind out the cup a bit to make them work 🤷🏽‍♀️ will keep ya posted? Haha
@EverydayHomeRepairs
@EverydayHomeRepairs 4 жыл бұрын
Katelynn Zissen I bet the cup depth is okay it is just there are several different overlays so you need to ensure the hinges purchased match the overlay on your old hinges. For instance you might have purchased 1/2 inch overlay hinges but your original hinges were 1 inch and that can create the issue you outlined. Measure your old ones and then check the overlay in the description of the ones you purchased on amazon. Let me know if you have any other questions. Best of luck!

You have to open the cabinet all the way before the soft closing can be activated right ? If you open only half way to get a glass then it won’t work

Why would you only open the door halfway? Either way, it should still work.

Hey Yara, for the model 39C Blum Compact Blumotion Hinges amzn.to/39rJbXD have 110 degrees range at full open. Additionally you can activate or deactivate the soft close feature to fit your needs. The last option is to keep 1 hinge as soft close and the other deactivated which will give you a little faster soft close feature. Let me know if you have any other questions.
