In furniture design, the quality is in the quiet. A cabinet door that slams shut is jarring and feels cheap. A door that hits the cabinet wall with a “clack” will quickly get damaged. This is where furniture door accessories like buffers and stops come in.
These small, simple components make a huge difference in the user experience. The most common solution is a cabinet buffer, also known as a door dot. This is a small, self-adhesive silicone or rubber dot that you place on the inside corner of the cabinet frame. When the door closes, it hits this soft buffer, resulting in a dampened, quiet close. It’s a tiny detail that adds a massive touch of quality.
This category also includes cabinet door stops (or “stays”), which are different from buffers. A stop is a mechanism, like a soft-down stay or flap stay, that prevents a top-opening cabinet door (like in a bar unit) from slamming open or shut. It holds the door safely in the open position. We also provide magnetic catches (or magnets), which are a simple way to ensure a cabinet door stays firmly closed, which is perfect for cupboards or panel doors.
Don’t overlook these small but critical components. They are the key to a quiet, premium-feeling piece of furniture. Browse our selection of buffers, magnetic catches, and stops. Contact us for an inquiry on bulk packs for your production line.
