redbottle 0 Report post Posted December 19, 2007 Btw, that anti-slam for casement door is pretty cheap, I heard around $2-$3 per piece, and mostly it is attached at the top (Last time some renovator told me spend around $20 bucks you can get a whole bunch from Ikea).But again, those are chargeable items for me...Xlan,any way to take pictures of the silver "lining" thing? what is it made of? do you think it is durable?Mostly, I will not do handles too, probably will only do so for the basin area.i saw on blum website that there are two kinds of these anti-slam device for casement door... one type is fixed at the top, the other type is attached to the hinge...i find the fixed-to-the-top type not very effective but it is cheap, like what gadgetgal said, $20 for a bunch at IKEA...the attached-to-hinge type is much better and must be used with a particular kind of hinge... u can actually see the door closing slowly... last time i called BLUM and they said it costs about $5 per piece... IKEA is also selling this BLUM anti-slam thing at $10 per pair and the hinge at $9 per pair... since it is slightly cheaper, i bought from IKEA... total costs me abt $100...actually blum and hettich are priced as such for a reasonthey really last, and can take whatever abuse you hurl at themheard someone mentioned before that the ikea ones doesn't last for more than 3yrseven the 10yr warranty for their kitchen doesn't cover the runners and hinges i'd say blum is really worth the price lahreally anti-slam and silent on closing ... but the runners and hinges sold by IKEA are actually from BLUM... the BLUM logo is embossed onto the metal body of the runner tracks and hinges...

applefreak 1 Report post Posted December 19, 2007 those sold at ikea are designed by BLUM, but not produced by them (i think)so the precision engineering part is missing it feels filmsy when i was playing with it at ikea tampinesmy bottom cabinet all drawers, a total of 10my full height cabinet is 8 drawerseasier to see everything one glancei paid $60 for blumotion for each drawerhinges are much cheaper, think one door need maximum 8 which translates to $64 each doorif small door four hinges only $32 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
