Euro Smove Mounting Adaptor for BAV Steel

Euro Smove Mounting Adaptor For Practical Soft Close

Euro Smove mounting adaptor lets you add a Salice America soft-close device to a BAV steel hinge setup after the hinge is already installed, so existing cabinet runs can gain controlled closing without rehanging doors. This adaptor positions the Type "S" Smove soft closing device so it contacts the hinge flange instead of the door, which protects the door surface from marring under repeated use. Because the adaptor is part of a system classed as soft-close adapters, it works as a dedicated solution for slowing door travel at the hinge side where forces are highest. The adaptor works with Type "S" Smoves that are available in light, medium, and high resistance tension settings, so you can match closing feel to door size and weight within that range. Mounting blocks in this system are offered in four heights to handle full overlay, half overlay, and inset hinge configurations, giving layout options for various cabinet builds.

Soft-Close Adapter Details That Speed Jobs

• The soft-close device connects to the hinge flange, not the door, so the impact force is managed at the hinge and visible door faces stay cleaner during everyday use.
• Easy mounting after hinge installation lets the adaptor be added late in the job, which supports retrofit work or change orders without disturbing existing hinge positions.
• The design does not interfere with hinge adjustments, so standard hinge tuning for reveals and alignment remains accessible throughout install and later service.
• Low profile construction keeps the assembly from intruding on cabinet interior space, helping maintain shelf clearance and usable storage depth.
• An adjustment screw provides adjustable closing speed, so the soft close action can be tuned on site to suit door motion expectations.
• Only one Smove device is required per door in this system, which simplifies planning and reduces the number of components that need to be positioned.

Mounting And Adjustment For Cabinet Hinge Use

This Euro Smove mounting adaptor is part of a soft-close adapter system that uses Type "S" Smove devices attached to the hinge flange, so the working interface stays concentrated at the hinge area for predictable motion. The mounting blocks needed for this system are available in four heights, covering full overlay, half overlay, and inset hinge configurations, which supports consistent mounting geometry across different door overlays. One group of mounting blocks is designed for die-cast hinge plates and another for stamped steel mounting plates, allowing the same soft-close function to be applied to both plate types used in shop layouts. The built-in adjustment screw on the Type "S" Smove device provides adjustable closing speed, giving installers a direct mechanical control to fine-tune how quickly doors settle against the cabinet.

Using Euro Smove Mounting Adaptor On Projects

Where This Soft-Close Adapter Fits Best

This Euro Smove mounting adaptor for BAV steel hinge setups suits cabinet runs where hinges are already installed, because it is easy to mount after hinge installation and does not disturb plate positioning. The system uses mounting blocks offered in four heights to accommodate full to half overlay and inset hinge configurations, so it can be applied wherever those standard overlay conditions are present. Mounting blocks are available in one type for die-cast hinge plates and another for stamped steel mounting plates, allowing the same soft-close approach across different plate constructions within a shop or job site. Because the Type "S" Smove soft closing device contacts the hinge flange, not the door, it fits applications where maintaining a clean, unmarred door surface is important, such as visible kitchen, bath, or built-in cabinetry.

How Design Details Support Repeatable Soft Close

This Salice America soft-close adapter setup is classed as a soft-close adapter, so every element is focused on controlling closing motion at the hinge. The low profile arrangement means the adaptor and Type "S" Smove device do not intrude on cabinet interior space, which helps keep stored items clear of the hardware and reduces interference during daily use. The connection to the hinge flange instead of the door localizes forces into the hinge assembly, supporting consistent performance even as doors are handled repeatedly over time. Adjustable closing speed through the Smove adjustment screw lets installers fine-tune damping to match different door sizes within the available light, medium, and high resistance tension settings, promoting uniform closing behavior across a bank of doors. Only one Smove required per door reduces layout complexity, since each door relies on a single damping point that can be reached and adjusted when needed. Separate mounting block types for die-cast and stamped steel mounting plates help maintain a stable interface, so the soft-close device sits correctly in relation to the hinge flange on both plate styles.
