Soft-Close Function (BLUMOTION):

The integrated BLUMOTION mechanism ensures that your cabinet doors close softly and silently. Simply push the door gently, and the hinge will engage the soft-close feature, preventing slamming.

Deactivation Switch:

For smaller or lighter cabinet doors, the soft-close action might be too strong. These hinges include a deactivation switch located on the hinge cup. To deactivate the soft-close function, slide the switch to the 'off' position. This can be useful for doors that are very light and might not close fully with the soft-close engaged, or if you prefer a traditional closing action.
