Cabinet hardware question.

Cabinet hardware question.

I just installed my upper cabinet doors and didnt think about what to hold them up. So what type of restraining device did you use for your cabinets. I have seen magnetic ones and ones that have the rollers that pinch. what did you use?

This is what I used, I also use them for french doors and closet doors.
Tension on the spring loaded balls is adjustable

Also see your build thread, different hinges would solve your problem

I use a "Bulldog Catch" on all of mine. It seems that you need a catch that really has some holding power to keep things from pushing the doors closed when traveling. They work great.

Not sure what kind of holding power you need, but these little spring loaded concealed hinges from Lowe's were cheap and they snap shut very firmly. :thumbsup:

I am think a little more than average holding power. So I plan on one on each side of the door. Zach I like that one and will look for the next time i am at lowes.

Went to Lowes last night and saw those hinges Zack put in and looked like fun but I found something that will work for me. it is a self closing simple hinge and oddly enough matched a few of the holes i already put in. I did buy some magnetic catches but we shall see how these hold up.
