Yes, soft-close on my trash pullout w/standard Blumotion glides here!

Your builder either has no idea what he's talking about or is hoping you don't know any better and will take his word on anything he says!

Do you have a foot pedal? I think maybe those don't work with soft close. Might at least explain the guy's confusion. Last I looked (a year or two ago), the Blum website had a good list of their stuff. Maybe you could cut off argument by finding the part you need and printing it out...

We don't have a foot pedal. And these guys have been quite good about fixing everything else I have asked for - even finding a couple of things I had not noticed myself. But I do feel like I have given them an education through this process. So any help on specifics would be great. (I think my kitchen might be the first time they have done toe kick drawers, dhad not heard of a two tier cutlery drawer, etc.)The quality of their work is outstanding. So overall I am a happy camper, but I would like to get this solved.

I have them everywhere except the trash pullouts, too. Unfortunately, it was one of those little things that I overlooked and just assumed would be on the trash pullouts. Maybe, someday, I will have them installed if that is even possible.

Well....since you wouldn't be losing soft close, how about a foot pedal? :)

Good luck!

I have them on my trash pullout too. I have IKEA Â so perhaps mine are different than yours, but what is the difference between the trash pullout and other drawers??? There isnÂt any difference with IKEA which also uses Blum guides.

It appears they used a Rev-a-shelf kit. (Blum glides everyplace else.) I think I will try to examine to see if they could keep most of what they have but replace the glide portion with Blum.

We just finished our kitchen and used a Rev-a-shelf kit too. It has soft close just like all the BLUM stuff. Check the link below.

Here is a link that might be useful: Rev-A-Shelf trash pullout from AH Turf

My cabinets were custom, not sure about the type of soft close mechanism. There is a soft close on the trash pullout, and I do like it very much. If you need more info, I could try to find out or I could post pictures.

Thought I would exercise my picture posting muscle, as I was afraid I had forgotten how. Maybe these pictures will help. By the way, by custom, I meant a local cabinet shop.

fleur, that unit is made by Rev-A-Shelf, its the exact same unit I posted in my link above. My wife absolutely loves it, we have the same one but with the gray trash cans.

Yep, that's a rev-a-shelf - I have that exact unit with the silver cans + lids (purchase cans & lids separately). It is great and the soft close works well.

Have them in all my cabinets and drawers except for my trash pull out. I asked about that and I was told the same thing, they don't have them or they don't work on trash pull outs. Now that we are using everything I have to say that I can see why they wouldn't work on mine. I would really have to slam the pullout to shut it. I don't miss it there.

I have the same thing as fleur. I just assumed it was blum b/c that's what he used everywhere else. My can support is coated with white plastic or whatever that stuff is (vinyl?).

buffalotina, do you have a part # for lids? I haven't filled my first load halfway yet and the smell is wafting through the house. (Thankfully nothing really bad like shrimp shells but it's going to drive me crazy.) Do you have to lift the lid off to throw something away, or does it have a hinged opening?

Thank you. I am going to send off to my cabinet folks.

Heard back from my cab;net guy.

The pull out trash is a Premier Trash Roll out from Rev-A-Shelf www.rev-a-shelf.com.

I did not like the white rubbermaid cans that came with mine. I purchased the actual REv a Shelf brand silver cans with lids online. The lids are hinged. I splurged too and got one silver lid and one green lid (for the recycle bin). You can find them on the rev a shelf website and then use the part numbers. I purchased mine from Kitchensource.com I believe. BUT, I WARN, they were RIDICULOUSLY expensive: I'm talking around $100 for the two cans + lids!! However, they do help a lot with the smell, although of course it is one more step to throw something away. The lids also help to keep the bags in the can.
