They are like the Blumotion for doors. You attache them to the cabinet box and they slow the closing of the door. We even used them on the 12" pull-out pantry that the kids use exclusively, and the tip out trays. Around here, they're 6 for $10, and they really work! I was suprised they don't have them on the displays in the stores!
Very cool, very inexpensive (although expensive by IKEA standards, as mentioned) upgrade. I've heard Kitchen Forum people say they paid $20 per door for this upgrade with their custom cabinetmakers, although admittedly, this isn't the real Blumotion--it's a less expensive variation, but to my naive self, it works just as well.
I have 2 bags of the attaching plates and screws, and I would assume that the PRAGEL and NUMERAR laminates would use the same system.*scratches head*It's a metal faceplate that goes over the holes in the bars of the base cabinets and the screw goes in to hold it.
I thought the only time you didn't get attaching hardware was for wall related things (since IKEA doesn't know what walls you have).
If you want the attaching hardware when the time comes, let me know.
And

, the door bumpers are too cool. I decided to go with them for my ARLIG doors to protect against impact chipping (not that there was any indication it would be a problem based on the
Woodbridge
displays) and the bumpers turned out to be so fun that I will use them in the main kitchen.
No more slamming doors!

I also have a boat load of the pullout pantry templates. Why you'd need a spare is beyond me, but I must have nearly 10 of them from various pullouts and faceplate sets.
I've looked for the soft close door bumpers in the Ikea kitchen catalog and couldn't find them. Then I went to the store,
Tempe
Arizona, and the kitchen person said he didn't know of the product. Do you have Ikeas name or the part number for the soft close bumper?
Thanks, Ed

Are these door bumpers just for doors, or can they be used on drawers, too? And do they have to be installed as the cabinets are assembled, or can they be added later, after the cabinets are in place? I know we really want them, but we're really running out of money -- I'd like to wait a few months before adding them if possible.
Definitely they can be added after. I'm not sure about the drawer thing....I don't think you'd want them, since the drawers already have a soft close feature. I did use a couple on the 12" pull-out base unit that the kids use, though. Works great when they don't abscond with the insert. We also used them on the tip out trays in front of the sink--those can be put in afterwards, if you have the clearance to screw them in...ours were difficult at best.
