> 3 dayIt was easy to figure out how to set them up, especially with the instructions provided. I used the screws which were sent with the restraints. I predrilled the holes for the screws and had no issues screwing them in. I used them to secure the oven door for a DIY toddler kitchen. So far, they have been doing a great job of protecting the hinges from toddler abuse.

> 3 dayThis product lasted 5 years and then just broke apart at one end connector. The second one in the package is still working fine.

> 3 dayI love that these are made in the USA! Not many things are anymore. That said, theyre also very well made (strong) with slightly offset ends to make closing the wire not bunch up when the cabinet doors theyre attached to close, Im guessing. I used both on medicine cabinets that kept hitting the wall. Drilling the initial pilot hole into the glass door was tricky due to glass placement. I was afraid I was going to break the glass that I was trying to protect. but after that personal problem was handled, installation was a breeze.

Greater than one weekThe 402 Stainless Steel Cabinet Restraint Kit is an awesome product. It is 100% as described, is solidly built, and comes with very easy-to-follow instructions. Our newly installed overlay cabinet doors basically opened too far (110 degrees), striking neighboring objects like the refrigerator. We tried installing plastic hinge restrictors which did not work (kept falling out) and then stumbled across this terrific product. You need a very basic skillset and tools (Phillips screwdriver and a drill with a 1/8 bit) and if you follow the instructions carefully, this product works exactly as advertised. That said - our cabinets presented a couple of unique situations that required just a tiny bit of ingenuity to figure out workarounds, and I have attached photos of these. In the first example, the overlay portion of the door did not provide enough real estate to drill and install the required screw in the proper place without resulting in either the door not fully closing (if I had drilled high) or the screw poking through the front of the shallow inlay panel (if I had drilled low). So common sense dictated that I deviate from the instructions by attaching the long end of the cable to the cabinet frame and the short end to the door. Its not a 100% ideal setup - in fact, to be clear, the instructions explicitly show that you should NOT install it in this way - but it does restrain the door 100% as needed, and the trivial inconvenience of having a small amount of the door opening taken up by the cable is a worthwhile tradeoff. In the second example, our cabinet installer had attached a soft-closing door mechanism right where the cable should be attached. There was still enough room to install the cable next to it, but the adjacent self-closing mechanism interfered with the ability of the cable attachment to pivot away when the door closes, with the result that it protruded straight out, preventing the door from closing fully. (This description may not make sense on first read, but if you first read the instructions that come with the product it will). So in this case, I simply used 2 pairs of pliers to gently bend the loop part of the cable attachment just far enough to clear the soft-close mechanism and swivel as needed to allow the door to close. I mention these things not to detract in any way from the product or the instructions that came with it, which are completely on-point for standard situations, but just to illustrate that every installation is different, and as with any product, sometimes a little tweak is necessary to get the intended result. Your mileage will no doubt vary. Overall, I highly recommend this product on every measure - value for the price, quality of the materials, accuracy of all descriptive materials and instructions. If you have a cabinet door opens too wide problem, you should buy this product.

> 3 dayWe are in a new townhome and several kitchen and bathroom cabinet doors swung open far enough to hit another cabinet or wall. This solution is quick, easy, and out of sight unless you know it’s there.

Greater than one weekThese worked perfectly on our newly installed cabinets. Be sure to watch the video on their website. I used one of the suggested alternate installs because of my cabinet type.

> 3 dayI have a Liebherr French door fridge and the doors are able to hit my counter and a cabinet (they open to 145 degrees). I didnt want to risk damage to the counter or stainless door skin. The fridge manufacturer does not make a door restrictor for this model. You would think they would have thought about this for a $6K fridge. This product worked perfectly. I left the screws a tad loose without much pressure on the lugs which allows the lugs to rotate around when the door opens and closes as the wire angle charges. The wires tuck up perfectly on top and unseen and very discrete and even match the overall stainless look of the fridge. THANKYOU !!!!

20-11-2024I originally bought one package of these restraints to use on some of the cabinet doors in our motorhome because the motorhome manufacturer‘s restraints were very expensive. As it turns out, these are superior quality. As a result, I bought more through a second order and have been installing them on the many cabinet doors that have the potential interference when fully open. If I had to make one suggestion, it might be to offer a couple of lengths. This would be helpful installing on smaller doors. Great product and company.
