Soft-Close Drawer Slides Explained

Soft-close drawer slides use hydraulic or spring-assisted dampening to gently slow drawers before they fully close, eliminating slamming and reducing long-term wear.
This system improves daily comfort, protects cabinet construction, and enhances overall drawer longevity.

Why Soft-Close Drawer Slides Matter

Soft-close slide systems provide:

• Smooth controlled closing motion
• Reduced impact stress on drawer boxes
• Quieter kitchens and bathrooms
• Extended hardware lifespan

This feature is standard in higher-quality cabinetry.
