Product Information

When using cabinet restraint wires, take time to figure out exactly how wide you want the doors to open. Take a look at what items you store inside the cabinet and know the minimum width to get those items in and out. Our cabinet door restraint kits are the perfect way to prevent damage to your home, boat, camper or RV. The plastic restriction clips get brittle and break easily. After all, they’re only made of plastic.

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. 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.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. Hinge restrictor clips attach to the actual hinges of your cabinet door and keep them from opening all the way, but you have to know exactly what type of hinge you have and if it’s compatible with the clips.

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. Our restraints work with practically every type of hinge on the market. No more guessing if you have the right hinge. Chances are you do. It’s tiny dings, but it bothers me and little dings aren’t easy to fix. And so I decided to investigate how to fix this problem! Doors should be able to stop at a perfect 90 degree angle and if they don’t you can fix it yourself.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 You can add either a hinge restrictor clip or cabinet door restraints to your cabinet doors to limit how wide they can open and prevent them from banging into each other.

We also liked that the cabinet door restraints allow you to select the open angle of the cabinet. Whether you want it to open a little wider or less wide because of the layout of your kitchen, you can make that specific adjustment. 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.Great invention. Small and not the best instructions. Would be nice if the cabinets just came with them!! After having these restraints up for almost two years, I can tell you that I absolutely stopped noticing that they are even there at all. And I certainly don’t miss the doors dinging up my walls!
