That jarring noise, not to mention the potential damage to cabinets and their contents, is something AO International is addressing head-on. Their soft close hinges aren’t just about convenience; they’re about improving the overall quality of life in the home. “We saw a real need in the market for a hinge that just worked – smoothly, consistently, and quietly,” explains a representative from AO International. “Too many soft close hinges are finicky, require constant adjustment, or simply fail after a short period. We set out to build something better.” What Makes AO International’s Soft Close Hinges Different? AO International isn’t just slapping a “soft close” label on existing hinges. They’ve completely re-engineered the mechanism to deliver a superior experience. Here's a breakdown of what sets them apart: Advanced Damping Technology: The heart of the hinge is a specially engineered damper. Instead of relying on simple friction, this damper utilizes a fluid dynamic system that absorbs energy gradually, preventing the door from slamming shut. It’s like giving your cabinets a little ‘brake’ so they glide to a gentle stop. Durable Construction: AO International uses high-quality steel in the construction of their hinges. This ensures long-lasting performance, even with heavy use. These aren’t hinges you’ll be replacing anytime soon. The steel is also treated with a corrosion-resistant coating, making them suitable for kitchens and bathrooms where moisture is a concern. Easy Installation: No one wants to spend hours wrestling with hardware. AO International’s hinges are designed for straightforward installation, compatible with most standard cabinet frames. They even include clear, easy-to-follow instructions and all the necessary mounting screws. "We want people to be able to upgrade their cabinets in an afternoon, not a weekend," says the representative. Adjustability: Sometimes, cabinets aren’t perfectly aligned. AO International’s hinges feature adjustable mounting plates, allowing for fine-tuning to achieve a perfect fit. This eliminates the need for shims or other makeshift solutions. Variety of Finishes: AO International understands that hardware should complement the overall aesthetic of a kitchen or bathroom. That’s why their soft close hinges are available in a range of popular finishes, including brushed nickel, oil-rubbed bronze, and matte black. Testing, Testing, 1-2-3: Before leaving the factory, every hinge goes through rigorous testing. This includes cycle testing (opening and closing the door repeatedly) and load testing (ensuring the hinge can support the weight of the door). AO International stands behind the quality of its products, offering a satisfaction guarantee. Beyond the Quiet: The Benefits of Soft Close Hinges While the quiet operation is the most noticeable benefit, soft close hinges offer several other advantages: Increased Safety: No more pinched fingers! Soft close hinges are particularly beneficial for households with children or elderly individuals. Reduced Wear and Tear: By preventing slamming, soft close hinges protect cabinet doors and frames from damage, extending their lifespan. Enhanced Home Value: Upgrading cabinet hardware is a relatively inexpensive way to add value to a home. Soft close hinges are a desirable feature for potential buyers. A Touch of Luxury: Soft close hinges add a subtle touch of sophistication and convenience to any kitchen or bathroom. It's one of those little details that can make a big difference.
