Pros: value for money, easy to fit
Cons: visible when door is open
"On our existing fitted cupboards we have soft close hinges fitted which I find to be quite useless so when we added some more cupboards we bought these wickes soft close buffers which are absolutely brilliant and in my opinion far better than the more expensive hinges."

"Although this product does stop the cupboard doors closing with a bang it does not give a softly, gently closing mechanism.
Maybe I expected too much, but as I have the softly closing drawers in my kitchen I had hoped for a little bit more from this product.
Still, it does the job..!!"

Pros: easy fit - two screws and that's it!
Cons: can't think of any
"Just had to buy another four packs of these. They are half the price of the local kitchen shop but operate just as well. Great for kitchen doors and heavy mirrored wardrobe doors (might need two top and bottom)."

Pros: silence
Cons: should have fitted them sooner
"I thought this product was a bit expensive until I fitted them and closed the door for the first time, absolutely transforms the door, and now I think they are worth every penny, also the kids cant slam the doors any more. Brilliant."

After having these I would never look back!,

Pros: no trapped fingers.
"I have two little boys so when I recently decided to modernise my new kitchen there welfare was included in the some of the things I wanted.
Our kitchen cabinets were in excellent condition so I just replaced handles, decorated, added under cupboard lighting etc and most importantly these buffers.
Previously I have had child locks on my cupboards but my children could still open them ajar only to let them go on there fingers.
Also I am very used to the slamming of doors and drawers. Since having these buffers# because the slam has been taken away my children have lost interest in opening and closing my doors and I dont have to worry about trapped fingers as well as having a modern kitchen."
