legstrap Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 (edited) Hi All We are doing some renovations to our kitchen and building a concrete base/counter. (We were underwater for 6 weeks last year during the floods and trying to make the kitchen a little bit more "flood proof") We are now deciding on cupboard doors and to be honest, I am not really a fan of the PVC Cupboard doors ie "King" Brand that go with the concrete kitchen base/counters We are now exploring the option of having wooden cupboard doors, however they make an incredible loud noise when you close them. Are there any places in Bangkok that sell "Soft Close" hinges which basically stops the slamming noise? If so, can you let me know where and approx how much they cost. I have checked Boontavorn and also Home Pro, but the do not sell just the hinges only. (I have to buy their entire kitchen set if I just want the hinges) We actually came across the Wood PVC cupboard doors today which has a nicer look thatn the normal PVC, however none of the brands come in white! Anyway if you can help on the above on the Soft Close hinge, that would be great. I have done a search on the forums but cant seem to find any reference to these. All the best Edited November 20, 2012 by legstrap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beechstreet Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Ikea sells a separate little shock absorber that seems like it would work for pretty much any cabinet system. The come in pairs, you only need one per door. They're adjustable. http://www.ikea.com/th/en/catalog/products/20172378/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirineou Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 have you consider installing a rubber gasket in the area where the door hits to dampen the noise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legstrap Posted November 23, 2012 Author Share Posted November 23, 2012 Thanks guys The missus did some extensive searching on the Internet as well this definitly helps. She found these guys who sell the Hafele one at 70 THB a piece, which I thought was quiet reasonable(and apparently you can order through there website) . We did manage to find these in Thai Watsadu yesterday but it was 138 THB and there was only 1 left (Typical!) Anyway here is the link for the Hafele on that is 70THB a piece Many Thanks for your help all! http://www.thaicarpenter.com/%E0%B8%AA%E0%B8%B4%E0%B8%99%E0%B8%84%E0%B9%89%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%9B%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%B0%E0%B9%80%E0%B8%A0%E0%B8%97%E0%B8%A7%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%AA%E0%B8%94%E0%B8%B8--%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%B8%E0%B8%9B%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%93%E0%B9%8C/%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%B8%E0%B8%9B%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%93%E0%B9%8C%E0%B9%80%E0%B8%9F%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%A3%E0%B9%8C%E0%B8%99%E0%B8%B4%E0%B9%80%E0%B8%88%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%A3%E0%B9%8C-Fitting/%E0%B8%9A%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%99%E0%B8%9E%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%9A/%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%B8%E0%B8%9B%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%93%E0%B9%8C%E0%B8%8A%E0%B8%B0%E0%B8%A5%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%9B%E0%B8%B4%E0%B8%94-HAFELE-%E0%B9%83%E0%B8%8A%E0%B9%89%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%9A%E0%B8%9A%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%99%E0%B8%9E%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%9A%E0%B8%96%E0%B9%89%E0%B8%A7%E0%B8%A2.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
