For the piece attached to the drawer, install both screws through the oval holes so you don't need to find the perfect spot to drill and it's possible to make adjustments later.

Thank you for sharing this! I just ordered these and will refer back to the video you made!
5:32 so actually the best way to do this is to screw in the right side screw (with the vertical opening) and then you can slide it up and down until you like where it's at and do the final screw to hold it in place

Great video. Question: I have drawers that have the same white runners that you have but they're at the top, do you know if these will still work? Maybe if I do the same installation but upside down? Thanks again.

That's what she said cracked me up 🤣 If the second piece you install (On the drawer) is fitted above the first piece, then what is actually catching to make it soft close?
@DIYBRY
5 ай бұрын
There is a hook piece and it is spring loaded. As you pull the drawer out, the hook piece sets the spring. When you close, the hook catches the piece again, and the spring will pull the drawer in softly. Soft and slow 🤣
Great info. Thanks

I have never tried. As long as there is room and it can catch/release, it should. You got get some from the Amazon link in the description and if it does not work, you can return. If it does work, reply with the results so the community here will know! 😉
Sweet!! Thank you!
My drawers do no have an “inner wall” to attach the mechanism to. The rail is attached to a bracket at the back of the cabinet and to the cabinet face. Is there a way to use this in that setup?

Without seeing the drawer, it’s hard to say. Let us know if you figure it out.
My drawers half approximately 1/2” gap behind the existing closer. I need to mount the soft close rail flush with the existing closer correct

This is great, but I rent and don’t want to drill anything. Is there perhaps just a clip on kind that you can pop into the actual drawer slide?

@@DIYBRYThanks. Was really hoping it would as simple as just clipping in a piece to the preexisting hardware. There is nothing wrong with the slides, in fact they’re quite nice and adjustable. I also don’t want to go around messing with removing them as it’s not my house. But the slamming is just so annoying. The cabinet doors are soft close thankfully.

Maybe you could get away with using some strong double-sided tape instead of the screws?
Very cool info! At 5:00 I wonder if temporarily using some blue tape might make it easier to position the smaller piece on the drawer.

No. But if your drawer is really wide it wouldn’t be a bad idea to do both sides.

One is fine. Unless it is a really tall and/or wide, then you may want to do two (one on each side).

You certainly can have the soft close hardware on each side, but that would be twice as expensive. Unless the drawer is really wide, it’s not necessary to have hardware on both sides.
