I installed these with the adapter for face frames on the kitchen cabinet doors that were too narrow to install the Blumotion Hinge Adapter, Compact (which I have installed on the rest of the cabinet doors). While the inserts do prevent the doors from slamming shut, the major disadvantage is that they don't engage until the door is almost closed. This means that either you have to release the door, or else your fingers get caught.

I much prefer the version for Compact Hinges that installs on the hinge side. This way, you can feel the mechanism engage before you release the door.

I have seen much better but for the price this isn't bad. You have to really pay attention to where you install the device and two would do the job better.

We have a house full of these, and they fail regularly (the grease inside oozes out onto our cabinets, and the seal is lost).

If you're stuck with these, contact Blum directly, and they will replace your failed units with new ones. They will fail too, but it's better than paying to replace defective units.
