Drawer slides are the hardware components that allow drawers to open and close smoothly. Soft close drawer slides are a type of drawer slide that features a built-in damping mechanism that prevents the drawer from slamming shut. This makes them ideal for use in kitchens, bathrooms, and other areas where a quiet and controlled closing action is desired.
Soft close drawer slides offer a number of benefits over traditional drawer slides. First, they are much quieter. This is because the damping mechanism absorbs the energy of the drawer as it closes, preventing it from slamming into the cabinet. Second, soft close drawer slides are more durable. The damping mechanism helps to reduce wear and tear on the drawer and the cabinet, which can extend the life of both components. Third, soft close drawer slides are more convenient. They allow drawers to be opened and closed with just a gentle push or pull, making them ideal for use by people with limited mobility.
