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

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.

If you’ve installed cabinet restraint wires, you can change the angle by changing where the restraint is attached to the door or the cabinet. The wire remains the same length, so changing where it attaches will change how much the door can open. 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. However, there are a few things about it that have me scratching my head, wondering “what were they thinking?!” Doors should be able to stop at a perfect 90 degree angle and if they don’t you can fix it yourself. 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.String your screw through the other end of the restraint and screw into place. Again, be sure not to tighten it 100 percent of the way. The plastic restriction clips put all of the stress and strain of limiting your door opening angle on the hinges themselves – something they are not designed to handle. This will cause premature failure of your cabinet hinges and possible damage to your cabinetry. Our stainless steel cabinet door restraints are the superior choice compared to the plastic hinge restriction clips offered by others. Here’s why:

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.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. 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. Note – ensure that your screw is shorter than the depth of your cabinet. Too long of a screw will poke out the front! Video tutorial The plastic restriction clips get brittle and break easily. After all, they’re only made of plastic.
