I'm doing soft close hinges comparison. I believe all of you heard about Blum (lifetime warranty), how about the other brands like DTC, Pio, SK Motion? Are they reliable?

My contractor can provide me 5 years warranty for each DTC, Pio, SK Motion. Any of you using this brand before? Mind to share your experience.

Among these 3 which one is better? Can you rank them accordingly?

Hi,

I'm just wondering, are you doing renovation for your own stay? landed or condo unit?
Because i have been seeing you asking about all good high quality stuff

Related to this post, if my contractor said he will provide soft hinges for the KC, usually they were the cheap ones right? so it wont tahan lama?

Yaya..i'm currently planning to do condo house renovation for own stay.

I'm doing all kind of research and need to get users' opinion to help me make good decision.

You need to ask what brand of hinges they will be using and check warranty too. Some like Kubiq just provide OEM with 2 years warranty only, but can upgrade to Blum with extra cost.

personally dont see any need for super brands, customer want blum, hafele hettich , yea we can install..just tambah extra.

stay within weight limit or add extra hinge per door.
i would be more interested in door material, its a joke if use all blum but use some chipboard door panel laugh.gif  hinge costs more than that door

It makes sense to me too. Use all Blum hinges but door material is melamine seems not balance at all. Cabinet first, hinges should come next.

Is it easy to replace hinges? Let say my cabinet comes with OEM hinges, next time i can buy Blum from shopee/lazada and replace it myself?
