Nearly finished the kitchen; dampers on the drawers was meant to be the finishing touch.
Bought a pack of 10 on eBay for the princely sum of £10... Fitted first one - MARGINAL difference on closing when the drawer was empty, no difference at all when there's stuff in it.
OK, it's asking a lot of 5cms of plastic hydraulics to decelerate the kinetic energy of a closing drawer full of heavy cutlery, but I had expected SOME effect.
Is this just a case of "you get what you pay for" (ie, £4 dampers would work where my £1 dampers don't), or do these things only work with empty drawers made from balsa wood. Any advice would be welcome...
