Soft close damper (Hafele)
Hi,
Looking at a soft close damper for kitchen cabinet doors. Example: http://comptools.co.uk/product_info....oducts_id=8388 The page says "Must be fitted 10-15 mm from hinge side in the cabinet". What does it say/mean? Where would you position the damper assuming hinges are on a vertical side? TIA Charles |

On the inside upper edge of the door frame. ______________________ I O | I | I | H--- | I | I | I | I | H--- | I | I | I | ---------------------- Where the "O" is in that picture. You can either screw the bracket into the bottom of the top face of the cabinet, or if the cabinet is suitably constructed, bore a hole into the front edge of the top face of the cabinet. -- Jón Fairbairn http://www.chaos.org.uk/~jf/Stuff-I-dont-want.html (updated 2010-09-14) |
