Blumotion for doors - Soft close mechanisms for kitchen cabinets
Blumotion soft-close system for cabinet doors with self-closing hinges has an innovative design that senses how hard the cabinet door is being closed, then adjusts resistance to keep it from slamming shut. This perfect movement provides more comfort and convenience with its silent and effortless operation.
I have these in my kitchen and they work great. It is a much better sytem than rubber door bumpers or foam cushions (which fall off over time or get crushed beyond all use). The good thing about Blumotion for doors is the way they adapt to different closing forces.
Here's how they work.
Slow kitchen door closing force
The braking system expands slightly, generating only modest resistance to the flow. The BLUMOTION effect is controlled via the flow speed and in this case, remains low.
Fast kitchen door closing force
The braking system expands which constricts the flow channel to create greater resistance. This results in a strong BLUMOTION effect. Pretty clever idea, don't you think?
Kitchen door closing force that is too fast
The overload safely feature kicks in. The excessive force is diverted using an additional flow channel and both BLUMOTION and the hinge are protected from damage.

Hi, my name is Kevin Sorby and I am the person behind renomart.com.au 
This is a cool gadget. I have just one question:
Do you mount it on the cabinet next to the hinge or opposite the hinge?
There are two types of Blumotion for doors.
One is the piston type in which you drill a 10mm diameter blind hole in your cabinet and insert the piston. You can also buy a bracket for the piston instead of drilling a hole in the cabinet.
The other type simply clips over the existing Blum hinge.
