About this deal

It’s tiny dings, but it bothers me and little dings aren’t easy to fix. And so I decided to investigate how to fix this problem! Great invention. Small and not the best instructions. Would be nice if the cabinets just came with them!! Yes, the new knobs we just installed (and the knobs the previous owner had) bang right into another cabinet in one spot and into the wall in the other. The doors don’t stop themselves soon enough.

Doors should be able to stop at a perfect 90 degree angle and if they don’t you can fix it yourself. Note – ensure that your screw is shorter than the depth of your cabinet. Too long of a screw will poke out the front! Video tutorial Our restraints work with practically every type of hinge on the market. No more guessing if you have the right hinge. Chances are you do.You can limit how far your cabinet opens by using either a hinge restrictor clip or cabinet door restraints. These are both easy to add to existing cabinets and limit how wide the doors can open up. Cabinet door restraints are a simple wire that physically limits the door from opening any wider than you want it to. We also liked that the cabinet door restraints allow you to select the open angle of the cabinet. Whether you want it to open a little wider or less wide because of the layout of your kitchen, you can make that specific adjustment.

Thread the screw onto the restraint and screw into your pre-drilled hole. Make sure not to screw it completely flush into the cabinet. The wire needs a little give to it. Also take a look at where the wall or other doors are and figure out where you want it to stop. If you’re looking to stop your door from hitting the wall, you only need to make sure it stops just off the wall. Love them. They definitely stop the cupboard doors from hitting each other. Great little restrictor pieceHinge restrictor clips attach to your hinges and limit the door opening to 86 degrees. This will keep them from banging into anything, just like you want.

We opted to go with the cabinet door restraints because I read that there are some issues with the hinge restrictor clips only being compatible with certain types of hinges. If you’ve installed cabinet restraint wires, you can change the angle by changing where the restraint is attached to the door or the cabinet. The wire remains the same length, so changing where it attaches will change how much the door can open. You don’t want your cabinet doors to hit each other because it can damage the door or the knob and will also make a surprisingly loud noise. String your screw through the other end of the restraint and screw into place. Again, be sure not to tighten it 100 percent of the way. Hold the restraint up and decide where to attach it to get your desired open angle. For us, it was on the underside of the upper lip of the cabinet base. Choose how far open you want the door to go and mark that spot with a pencil.The plastic restriction clips have only one opening angle: 86 degrees. That “one size fits all” approach may work great for the company making them, but not for the end consumer.
