Light Tension Smoveholder with Type S Adjustable, Black

Light Tension Smoveholder Soft Close For Hinges

Light Tension Smoveholder with Type S Adjustable, Black is a Salice America soft-close adapter that adds controlled closing to cabinet hinges, so doors shut gently and consistently on everyday use jobs. The EURO SMOVE SOFT CLOSE PISTON design works as a soft-close device in hinge applications, so installers can upgrade door performance without changing the hinge layout. The S type soft-close device contacts and connects to the hinge flange, not to the door, so the piston acts on the hinge hardware instead of the door surface, which protects finished door faces from marring at the contact point. This soft-closing device does not interfere with hinge adjustments, so standard hinge side, height, and depth tweaks remain usable after the piston is fitted, which keeps alignment workflows unchanged. The low profile layout does not intrude on cabinet interior space, so interior storage layout and clearances remain practically the same.

Soft-Close Adapter Details That Support Daily Use

• The S type soft-close device contacts and connects to the hinge flange, not to the door, so the closing force is transferred through the hinge hardware, which protects finished door surfaces during repeated closing cycles.
• The soft-close device does not interfere with hinge adjustments, so hinge settings can be dialed in as usual, which supports precise reveals and gap tuning without having to remove the soft-close piston.
• The low profile Smoveholder layout does not intrude on cabinet interior space, so interior shelves, pullouts, and stored items retain usable depth, which matters on tight installations and built-ins.
• Adjustable closing speed with turn of adjustment screw allows tuning of the soft-close behavior, so installers can match closing speed to door size and use pattern directly at the hinge area.
• Only 1 Smove required per door streamlines hardware planning, so layout, ordering, and installation steps for each door stay straightforward on repeat cabinet runs.
• Type S Smove soft closing devices are available in three tension settings - light, medium and high resistance - so door motion can be matched to door weight ranges and application needs across a project.

Hinge-Mounted Soft Close For Streamlined Installation

The S type soft-close device mounts so it contacts and connects to the hinge flange, which allows the piston to be positioned at the hinge rather than on the door or cabinet side, keeping layouts familiar. Type S Smoves require a separate mounting block to attach the Smove soft-close device to the hinge flange, so the adapter is anchored through a defined interface rather than improvised mounting points. Mounting blocks are available in four heights to accommodate full to half overlay and inset hinge configurations, which supports consistent mounting geometry across a range of door overlays. Mounting blocks come in two types, with one type designed to affix to die-cast hinge plates and the second type designed to affix to stamped steel mounting plates, so the interface can be matched to the plate construction used on the job.

Soft-Close Adapter Use And Jobsite Performance

Where This Soft-Close Piston Works Best

This Salice America soft-close adapter sits in the Hinges and Hinge Accessories category, so it is intended to work alongside European-style hinge hardware on cabinet doors. The product class as Soft-Close Adapters identifies it as an add-on component, so it is suited to situations where hinges are already selected and a controlled closing action is needed. It is easy to mount after hinge installation, so installers can add the EURO SMOVE SOFT CLOSE PISTON during punch-list work or upgrades without changing the initial hinge layout. Only 1 Smove required per door simplifies planning in multi-door runs, so counts can be calculated quickly on large banks of cabinets. Mounting blocks are available in four heights to accommodate full to half overlay and inset hinge configurations, so the same Smoveholder concept can support a variety of door positions relative to the cabinet front. Mounting block options designed for die-cast hinge plates and stamped steel mounting plates allow this S type Smove soft closing device to follow the hinge plate construction used on the project.

Details That Support Consistent Soft-Close Results

The S type soft-close device contacts and connects to the hinge flange, not to the door, so the closing force acts through the hinge geometry, which promotes consistent damping across repeated open and close cycles. Because the soft-close device does not interfere with hinge adjustments, installers can complete fine adjustments after the Smoveholder is in place, which helps maintain margins on adjacent doors and panels. The low profile layout does not intrude on cabinet interior space, so interior components such as roll-outs and storage items are less likely to conflict with the piston body. Adjustable closing speed with turn of adjustment screw gives direct control over how quickly the door settles against the frame, which lets the same hardware adapt to different door sizes along a run. The availability of three tension settings - light, medium and high resistance - provides another way to align soft-close behavior with door mass and user expectations. The description Easy to mount after hinge installation indicates that the EURO SMOVE SOFT CLOSE PISTON can be added to an existing hinge setup, which can streamline retrofit or upgrade work in the field.
