Blum VS Salice Soft Close Hinges 

This is the only Salice hinge review I could find but it's not my hinge model: Salice CBP2A99 for 3/8" lipped doors. In 2010, I hired a contractor to install Salice Euro style sets of hinge and plate for my updated 60's cabinets. I purchased the hinges through Rockler. Since then, one by one they have been failing: when we open the door, a plastic c clip breaks and pops out of the hinge, flies across the room (we're lucky one of them hasn't hit us in the eye) . I believe I see the same/ similar plastic piece when you flip both the Blum and the Salice hinges over (0:32 and at 0:59 it's between your left thumb and index finger ) at the first joint from the cabinet door inset. I do not know whether this problem is a design issue, a manufacturing flaw or an installation issue. Rockler doesn't have much to say to me since they were purchased 12 yrs ago and Salice has requested me to send them the broken parts. I am hoping to hear from anyone else who has experienced same/ similar malfunction. thank you.

thanks for the review. i was wondering the difference because of the same reasons.

Nice video

Interesting.

How are they working so far? Do you do any inset cabinetry with Salice yet?

What are your thoughts now? did you make the switch to the plates without the wings? what about hettich did you ever try them?

a comparsion with the blum aventos vs. the salice equivalent?

I prefer Blum

Pronounce "bloom" not blum.
