These dampers are under-powered. If you wonder what the difference is between this ($2/unit) vs a $3.50/unit damper, see attached photo. The body surrounding the piston is chrome-finished plastic. The length of travel of the piston is also quite disappointing, which translates to the damper engaging the cabinet door at a much more acute angle as the door is closing (around 20-25 degrees) which does not allow adequate time to counter the momentum of the closing door. I had to crank up the adjustment to maximum strength of the piston on every damper; which successfully soft-closes the cabinet door maybe 3 times out of 5. If the door closes with just a tad more force than simply passive release, the door will close with a slam. I have beefier metal-body dampers on other identical (in size and weight) cabinet doors, and using just one of those dampers per door is enough to prevent a slam--even with forceful closing. If I use two of these Rok dampers per cabinet door, my cost per door would be more expensive than using the heavy-duty dampers. This damper is probably appropriate for light/small cabinet doors; expect to use 2 per door if the door is considered big/heavy.
