Convert Snap Closing cabinet hinges to soft close
I have a kitchen full of these hinges and would like to change them out for soft closing, any suggestions?

If your doors are 3/4 thick you could prep them for 35mm cup (euro) hinges, like Blum.
But those notches in your doors will be an eyesore. I guess if you measured carefully, you could leave the existing hinges in place and just put the cup hinges above or below them. But that would be kind of odd.

Talked with Rockler, nice people. Looks like there is no direct replacement only a complete change out and thats way too many hinges...
Thanks for all the input!

If the issue is noise, consider adhesive felt "dots". For even more silencing there are adhesive silicone "dots". The silicone is thicker and may hold the door ajar more that you would like.
Either that or remove the springs from the hinges and add a magnetic catch on each door to keep them shut.
