Soft Close (EC) Slides
What are Soft Close Drawer Slides?
Soft close drawer slides (also known as easy close) create a slow, quiet and controlled closing mechanism for drawers and prevent heavy drawers from slamming shut. They can be diverse, with additional features such as hold-in soft close functionality.
Advantages of Soft Close Drawer Slides
Soft close uses a damping mechanism to ensure smooth and controlled closing of the drawer or unit and often assist in pulling the drawer closed the last few inches. This is particularly advantageous for several reasons. The main benefit is that it increases the longevity of the drawers, hinges, and cabinetry. It can also help create a calming feel in the home by removing the noise of cabinet doors and drawers slamming. It keeps cabinetry looking neat and tidy and prevents children from trapping fingers in drawers.
