This type of soft close drawer is in high demand with consumers these days because it has become one of the hallmarks of high quality in cabinetry. 

If you are fitting a new wardrobe system, bedroom storage or office furniture, you want to be sure it includes soft close drawers. But what are they exactly and what are the main benefits? 

Soft close drawers are a premium feature allowing drawers to close silently and smoothly. Just before it is completely shut, the soft close mechanism of the drawer takes over, and gently pulls the drawer closed the rest of the way.

What are the advantages of a soft close drawer?

  • Drawers with soft close cannot be slammed shut, ensuring they close gently and silently every time.
  • A soft close drawer is safer because fingers cannot get accidentally crushed in the closing drawer.
  • Drawers with soft close tend to last longer, because the mechanism endures less stress.
  • Drawers that are self closing will never be left ajar. All that is needed is a gentle push in order to engage the mechanism which closes the drawer the rest of the way.
