Mill Creek, WA – October 26, 2023 – AO International LLC, a leading provider of innovative hardware solutions, is making waves in the cabinetry and furniture industry with its newly enhanced line of soft close hinges. Based in Mill Creek, Washington, AO International (reachable at 678-523-8597) is quickly becoming a go-to source for high-quality, reliable components that elevate the functionality and feel of modern living spaces. For years, slamming cabinet doors have been a household annoyance. It's a small thing, but it adds up. AO International understands this, and that’s why they’ve focused on perfecting the soft close hinge – a seemingly simple component that makes a big difference in everyday life. “We weren’t just looking to make another hinge,” explains a spokesperson for AO International. “We wanted to create a solution that was exceptionally smooth, incredibly durable, and easy for both manufacturers and installers to work with.” And they seem to have delivered. The company's soft close hinges aren’t just about avoiding noise. It’s about adding a touch of luxury to everyday motions. Imagine opening and closing your kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities, or bedroom closets, and experiencing a gentle, controlled motion – no more jarring slams, just a seamless, quiet close. This not only creates a more peaceful environment but also extends the life of the cabinets themselves by reducing stress on the hinges and door frames. What makes AO International’s Soft Close Hinges Different? AO International didn’t reinvent the wheel, but they’ve definitely given it a major tune-up. Here’s a breakdown of what sets their hinges apart: Superior Smoothness: The core of the hinge features a high-quality damping mechanism. It's a bit technical, but the bottom line is it provides consistently smooth, fluid motion, even after thousands of cycles. “We've really focused on the oil used in the damper,” says the AO International spokesperson. “It’s a special formula that maintains viscosity over a wide range of temperatures, so the hinges perform perfectly whether you live in a hot climate or a cold one.” Built to Last: AO International uses premium materials – typically high-grade steel and durable polymers – in the construction of their hinges. They’re rigorously tested to withstand heavy use and resist wear and tear. “We’re not about planned obsolescence,” the spokesperson emphasizes. “We want our hinges to last for years, even in demanding environments.” Easy Installation: Manufacturers and installers will appreciate the thoughtful design of AO International’s hinges. They’re designed for quick and easy installation, minimizing labor costs and maximizing efficiency. Many models feature 3-way adjustment, allowing for fine-tuning of the door alignment. Versatility: AO International offers a wide range of soft close hinges to suit various cabinet styles, door thicknesses, and applications. Whether you’re building frameless or face-frame cabinets, they have a hinge to fit the bill. They offer hinges for full overlay, partial overlay, and even inset doors. Competitive Pricing: Despite the superior quality and features, AO International strives to offer their soft close hinges at competitive prices, making them an attractive option for both large-scale manufacturers and DIY enthusiasts. Beyond Kitchens: Where are these hinges being used? While kitchens are the most common application, AO International’s soft close hinges are finding their way into a growing number of applications. These include: Bathrooms: Vanities and medicine cabinets benefit greatly from the quiet and smooth operation of soft close hinges. Bedroom Closets: Eliminate slamming doors and create a more organized and peaceful bedroom environment. Laundry Rooms: Soft close hinges can add a touch of luxury to laundry room cabinets. Home Offices: Keep your home office organized and quiet with soft close hinges on cabinets and storage units. Furniture: Increasingly, furniture manufacturers are incorporating soft close hinges into cabinets and drawers in entertainment centers, sideboards, and other pieces.
