Soft Close Door Dampeners (a salice smove dampener)
Take your positioning aid and measure the screw position. Do this by placing the door dampener over the top of the positioning aid and seeing which hole it lines up with – this is the hole in the aid you will need to drill through.
Now open the door and position the aid along the frame of the cabinet. Make sure it is tight up to the top of your cabinet and to the edge of the door. Holding the positioning aid in place, pre-drill a 3mm hole through the hole you identified earlier. Remove the aid, match up the dampener screw holes with the pre-drilled holes and screw the dampener into place using your drill or screwdriver.
If you need to increase or decrease the dampener closing speed after installation you can use the cam adjusting screw found in the rear of the dampener body.
Drawer Dampeners
Take out your drawer.
Measure the height of where your drawer was. Mark the half-way point with your pencil. Keeping in line with this mark, measure the width of your drawer frame. Halve that and put a pencil mark at this point, this is where your dampener will go.
Drill a pilot hole at your mark with your 3mm drill bit. Drilling a pilot hole will ensure your 10mm drill bit doesn’t slip off the pencil mark. Now take the 10mm drill bit and drill the hole for the dampener – an easy way to ensure you drill to the right depth is to line up your dampener with your drill bit and mark the end with some tape so you can clearly see when to stop drilling. Gently insert dampener into the hole, then fit the drawer back in to place. Repeat this process for your other drawers.
