In recent years, the kitchen has become the focal point of the home. It’s where people gather to talk, cook, eat, and simply enjoy each other’s company. In response to that, many homeowners are wanting to make their kitchens as attractive, comfortable, and useful as possible.

Aside from appliances, one of the most important parts of a kitchen is its storage—i.e., drawers and cabinets. Modern kitchens now have oversized drawers and cabinets to fit an ever-growing number of kitchen items, but that’s not the only change that has happened in recent years.

Two of the biggest innovations in drawers and cabinetry are soft-close undermounts and hinges. As the name implies, these innovations make drawers and cabinets close more gently and quietly, and they also feel far sturdier and well-built than ordinary undermounts and hinges. For many homeowners, they are must-haves whether they are building new kitchens or renovating their old kitchens.

Our Selection of Undermount Drawer Slides

The difference between a standard drawer undermount and a soft-closing undermount must be seen, felt, and heard to truly appreciate. Once you experience drawers with soft-close undermounts, you won’t want to go back to standard undermounts.

We offer three types of undermounts:

Slide – ¾ Extension Soft Closing Frameless Undermounts

Available in slide lengths of 300mm, 350mm, 400mm, 450mm, 500mm, and 550mm and bottom panel thickness of 16mm and 18mm. They have a load capacity of 60 lbs. and their improved stability ensures a long lifespan of soft, quiet opening and closing.

Smart Slide – Full Extension Soft Closing Frameless Undermount

Available in slide lengths of 250mm, 300mm, 350mm, 400mm, 450mm, 500mm, 550mm, and 600mm and side panel thickness of 16mm to 19mm. SmartLock® System also provides a +2mm height adjustment and +3mm side/side adjustment.

Smart Slide FF – Soft Closing Undermounts

Available in slide lengths of 12”, 15”, 18” and 21” with side panel thickness between ½” and ¾”. Maximum weight capacity is 70 lbs. and the SmartLock® system ensures easy removal and mounting.

Our Selection of Soft-Close Hinges

If you’re upgrading your drawers to soft-close, it makes sense to upgrade your cabinets to soft-close as well. Soft-close cabinets significantly cut down on kitchen noise and wear and tear on the doors and cabinets themselves. We offer three types of soft-close hinges:

Compact FF Hinge – Soft Closing

These soft-close hinges include screw-on and dowelled screw options and overlay options of ½” and 1 ¼”.

Impro Hinge – Soft Closing

These soft-close hinges include screw options of screw-on and dowelled and overlay options of full, half, and inset. They also feature soft-close adjustments of 0 (off) and 1 to 5.

Invo+ Hinge – Soft Closing

These soft-close hinges include screw options of screw-on and dowelled and overlay options of full, half, and inset.
