123 hinges and soft close system

Hello everyone,
Can you put some soft closing hardware on 123 degre hinges?

Thanks, Ben

Re: 123 hinges and soft close system

Yes, these. But these don't seem to work on 123 degre hinges, only on 125 degre hinges.
The 123 degre hinges are the one that allows you to open the door more on the pantries so you can have drawers inside.

Anyone has an idea if there is a solution?

Thanks, Ben

Re: 123 hinges and soft close system

You mean the 153 degree hinges, right? I don't think that those have a soft close. The ones that work on the 125 degree hinges definitely don't fit (I tried last night!)

Can you try the "old school" Ikea damper that fits on the cabinet frame?

I also found that the 153 hinges are much stiffer than the 125 ones, so I haven't noticed any slamming issues with our pantry.

Re: 123 hinges and soft close system

When I asked at the store about pantry dampers, the IKEAn showed me the add-on door bumpers ($9.99) that fisheggs links to.

Apparently there are not any of those nifty clip-onto-the-hinge dampers like they provide for the 125 degree hinges on the wall cabinets.

Yes I mean the 153 hinges.

Thank you all for the help.

Thanks Dave,
But these are the one that don't work on the 153 hinges.

A gap in Blum's lineup.


[now that tofu dog's posted, just below, it looks as though the mystery item's been cornered]

Re: 123 hinges and soft close system

This topic was covered a while back. IKEA may not sell Blumotion hinge dampers for the 153 degree hinges, but Blum does in fact manufacture them! This was covered in a previous thread:

Door Hinge Dampers for 153 degree hinges

I ordered two of the B973A6000 dampers for our 80" pantry cabinet from Woodworker's Hardware. They were really inexpensive, and they snapped right into the IKEA 153 degree hinges with no problems. I don't understand why IKEA doesn't sell them. They work great!
