Product Information

Here’s how to prevent a cabinet door from hitting the wall by adding a simple wire. Options for keeping a cabinet door from opening too far The only negative about the wire is that it is visible when the cabinet is open. But this shouldn’t be a problem for anyone. You really don’t notice it once it’s in place because it’s at the top. Pre-drill a small hole in that spot. You do not need to go very deep. Be sure not to drill through the cabinet. This is just to get the screw started. Doors should be able to stop at a perfect 90 degree angle and if they don’t you can fix it yourself. You can add either a hinge restrictor clip or cabinet door restraints to your cabinet doors to limit how wide they can open and prevent them from banging into each other.

There are a couple of options on how you can fix this problem, but if you’re going for speed and ease, this is the way. This is causing damage to the knobs and damage to the cabinets themselves. When the knobs hit the drywall, they cause dents and damage and when they hit the other knobs, they dent. Decide where you want the other end to go on the cabinet to hold the door to your preferred angle. Mark with pencil. Pre-drill in this spot. When using cabinet restraint wires, take time to figure out exactly how wide you want the doors to open. Take a look at what items you store inside the cabinet and know the minimum width to get those items in and out. However, there are a few things about it that have me scratching my head, wondering “what were they thinking?!”

The plastic restriction clips have only one opening angle: 86 degrees. That “one size fits all” approach may work great for the company making them, but not for the end consumer.

You don’t want your cabinet doors to hit each other because it can damage the door or the knob and will also make a surprisingly loud noise. After having these restraints up for almost two years, I can tell you that I absolutely stopped noticing that they are even there at all. And I certainly don’t miss the doors dinging up my walls! We also liked that the cabinet door restraints allow you to select the open angle of the cabinet. Whether you want it to open a little wider or less wide because of the layout of your kitchen, you can make that specific adjustment. The plastic restriction clips get brittle and break easily. After all, they’re only made of plastic.

It’s tiny dings, but it bothers me and little dings aren’t easy to fix. And so I decided to investigate how to fix this problem! The plastic restriction clips put all of the stress and strain of limiting your door opening angle on the hinges themselves – something they are not designed to handle. This will cause premature failure of your cabinet hinges and possible damage to your cabinetry.

However, hinge restrictor clips are completely invisible once installed and just look like part of the hinge, so if that is important to you, these may be a good option. Titus hinge angle restrictors limit the opening angle of cabinet doors and prevent damage to door or any adjacent object. You can limit how far your cabinet opens by using either a hinge restrictor clip or cabinet door restraints. These are both easy to add to existing cabinets and limit how wide the doors can open up. Love them. They definitely stop the cupboard doors from hitting each other. Great little restrictor pieceIf you’ve installed cabinet restraint wires, you can change the angle by changing where the restraint is attached to the door or the cabinet. The wire remains the same length, so changing where it attaches will change how much the door can open.
