Slow Close Hinges on Old Cabinets

7 years ago

I’d like to install slow close hinges on my cabinets, but my cabinets are very old. I’ve painted them and filled the holes from the old hinges and knobs, but I realized they are hollow inside. (2 oak panels on either side attached together)

Is it possible to install slow close hinges on these types of cabinets?

You could install the Blum dampers if you can't do soft close hinges. Blumotion 971a attaches to the cabinet instead of the hinge. Ike used to sell a similar product, and probably still does, for kitchen cabinet doors...if there is one near you.
