I've seen.
Would highly recommend this site.

We recently did a remodel, and I ran across these Blum soft closing adapters in the cabinet showroom at Home Depot. They looked good, but I was skeptical and decided to order a few from Amazon (best price) and try them out. They are GREAT! They are well designed, easy to install and easy to adjust. They worked so well that I have now installed nearly 30 of them in virtually every cabinet in the house. I have put them on everything from large pantry cabinet doors to tiny over-the-fridge cabinet doors. Because the closing action is adjustable, they work great on every door I have tried them on. I read somewhere that they only work with Blum hinges, but that clearly isn't correct, because none of my hinges are Blum hinges and they all work fine. The soft close units should come individually packaged in a plastic bag with two screws and a plastic adapter. If you have full overlay cabinet doors (doors that extend well beyond the opening) then you use the short screw and no adapter. If you have partial overlay cabinet doors (doors only slightly bigger than the opening, with most of the style between doors is exposed) then you use the plastic adapter and the long screw. I had read that you needed a flexible shaft for your drill to install these, but I wasn't clear on why it was needed? I thought maybe it was because the drill would be too long to fit into the opening of a narrow cabinet. It turns out the you really do need that flexible shaft and the reason has nothing to do with the length of your drill. It has everything to do with the diameter of your drill. For most drills, even my close-quarters drill, the centerline of the bit is too far from the closest edge of the drill to allow you to drill a straight pilot hole for the screw parallel to the top of the cabinet. You need the flexible shaft because its smaller diameter allows you to drill parallel to the top of the cabinet. I found the flexible shaft to be absolutely necessary to get these soft closers installed correctly. Finally, a tip for easy installation is to put the screw into the mounting hole of the soft closer, place the closer in position, and then use a screw driver to force the screw into the wood a tiny bit to create a pilot mark for your drill bit in exactly the right spot. It works perfectly and makes the install quick and foolproof.
What a difference! April 15, 2010

Installation is quick and easy. Works very well, but I did notice that you have to get the unit very secure or it will rotate about its one mounting screw.
Note: this may have been discontinued by the seller....

Work great...install easily...adjust perfectly...I was skeptical so I initially only ordered a few...ordered 12 more for the rest of the kitchen and house...a real quality touch.
Never noticed how loud our cabinet doors were until I didn't hear them anymore. Everyone who goes in one of our cabinets comments on how well they work. We have both large pantry doors and small doors and these worked great on all sizes.
