These seem to be good quality "soft close" hinges. They are VERY difficult to close with just your hands despite it looking easy in the listing video, but I was able to get it closed while being very careful not to pinch my fingers in the mechanism. There are no instructions in the box, but there is a picture in the listing that shows the hinge placement for different cabinet door styles (overlay, insert, or half/double overIay). From the picture, I'm not sure how you would line up these hinges with them fully open and still get the door to align properly when closed, and yet, I don't see how to attach them inside the cabinet with the door closed. I must be missing something? Once you have them screwed down, they would be much more easier to open with the added leverage of the door and cabinet, but getting it screwed into the right place on both sides might be a challenge without any template or additional instructions. You will need to already know what your doing with the installation. There are two elongated screw slots that allow you to place a screw and still adjust the hinge placement a little if you don't get them lined up perfectly, them you can place the remaining screws in the rounds holes to permanently secure it.
I like that these don't require any drilling to insert the hinge itself and can be installed flush mounted to a cabinet.
P.S. I have used other similar hinges in the past on a very small cabinet door (6"x 18") that caused the hinge plates to bend around the screws, but these hinges seem thicker in the plate area, which is good. The storage and design are exactly what we needed. The quality really stands out.
Easy install, super bright, works well! The storage and design are exactly what we needed.
I liked that it did a great job on my dirtbike parts! The storage and design are exactly what we needed. Assembly was straightforward.
