About this deal

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. 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.

Hinge restrictor clips attach to your hinges and limit the door opening to 86 degrees. This will keep them from banging into anything, just like you want. 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. The plastic restriction clips get brittle and break easily. After all, they’re only made of plastic. 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 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.Love them. They definitely stop the cupboard doors from hitting each other. Great little restrictor piece Here’s how to prevent a cabinet door from hitting the wall by adding a simple wire. Options for keeping a cabinet door from opening too far 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. 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.

However, there are a few things about it that have me scratching my head, wondering “what were they thinking?!” 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.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. 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. The plastic restriction clips have only one opening angle: 86 degrees. That “one size fits all” approach may work great for the company making them, but not for the end consumer. There are a couple of options on how you can fix this problem, but if you’re going for speed and ease, this is the way.

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!

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! You can limit how far your cabinet opens by using either a hinge restrictor clip or cabinet door restraints. These are both easy to add to existing cabinets and limit how wide the doors can open up. Cabinet door restraints are a simple wire that physically limits the door from opening any wider than you want it to. Yes, the new knobs we just installed (and the knobs the previous owner had) bang right into another cabinet in one spot and into the wall in the other. The doors don’t stop themselves soon enough.
