Cabinet Door Restraint, 8 Inch Stainless Steel Cupboard Hinge Limiter Swing Restrictor Stopper, Flexible Braided Cable, Prevent Door From Opening Too Far Made in USA by Salt Life Solutions (2 Pack)

Product Information

We opted for the cabinet restraint wire kit because we felt that would be the easiest way to solve the problem. If your cabinet doors open wider than 90 degrees, they might be hitting the side of the cabinets next to them. This can cause damage to the knob, wall or cabinet door. Pre-drill a small hole in that spot. You do not need to go very deep. Be sure not to drill through the cabinet. This is just to get the screw started.

However, hinge restrictor clips are completely invisible once installed and just look like part of the hinge, so if that is important to you, these may be a good option.Cabinet door restraints are a simple wire that physically limits the door from opening any wider than you want it to. You don’t want your cabinet doors to hit each other because it can damage the door or the knob and will also make a surprisingly loud noise. You can limit how far your cabinet opens by using either a hinge restrictor clip or cabinet door restraints. These are both easy to add to existing cabinets and limit how wide the doors can open up.

The plastic restriction clips get brittle and break easily. After all, they’re only made of plastic.Yes, the new knobs we just installed (and the knobs the previous owner had) bang right into another cabinet in one spot and into the wall in the other. The doors don’t stop themselves soon enough. After having these restraints up for almost two years, I can tell you that I absolutely stopped noticing that they are even there at all. And I certainly don’t miss the doors dinging up my walls! Also take a look at where the wall or other doors are and figure out where you want it to stop. If you’re looking to stop your door from hitting the wall, you only need to make sure it stops just off the wall. The plastic restriction clips have only one opening angle: 86 degrees. That “one size fits all” approach may work great for the company making them, but not for the end consumer. There are a couple of options on how you can fix this problem, but if you’re going for speed and ease, this is the way.

Great invention. Small and not the best instructions. Would be nice if the cabinets just came with them!!Our restraints work with practically every type of hinge on the market. No more guessing if you have the right hinge. Chances are you do. Thread the screw onto the restraint and screw into your pre-drilled hole. Make sure not to screw it completely flush into the cabinet. The wire needs a little give to it. When using cabinet restraint wires, take time to figure out exactly how wide you want the doors to open. Take a look at what items you store inside the cabinet and know the minimum width to get those items in and out. Hold the restraint up and decide where to attach it to get your desired open angle. For us, it was on the underside of the upper lip of the cabinet base. Choose how far open you want the door to go and mark that spot with a pencil.
