Soft-close mechanisms

A soft-close mechanism is a feature designed to prevent doors, drawers, or lids from slamming shut suddenly. Instead of closing abruptly, the mechanism uses hydraulic or pneumatic components to slow the movement as it closes, allowing for a controlled, quiet, and gentle closure. This enhances safety by reducing the risk of injury or damage while also preserving the longevity of the furniture by minimizing impact forces. Soft-close systems are commonly found in kitchen cabinets, drawer slides, and lids, providing both convenience and a more refined, noise-reducing experience.
