Door Bumpers
5/18/17
Does anyone have a good solution for door bumpers? I use the adhesive backed clear and felt bumpers and I swear if I go back to the job site, even within just a few months, several will be missing and others will have a "slime" trail where they have walked from the original position. No one has griped about it but It's driving me crazy...

We switched to the 3M branded ones from Richelieu and they seem to stay one. Cheaper ones we were using constantly falling off.

Use stem bumpers, you drill a hole for
them to be inserted into.

under "cabinet stem bumpers"

I'm with Harold, since we do soft close on everything now we don't see a need for them.

Without bumpers, how do you get the door to sit parallel with the face frame?
The door does not slam with soft close hinges but concealed euro hinges hold the hinge stile away from the face frame.

Before soft close we used the drill in style to prevent the bumpers from moving or falling off. Now we use adhesive just for a shim as Josh states to keep doors and drawer faces parallel. I find with the soft close the bumpers stay on better and don't move as much. I think drill in is the premium option but it is a lot more work.

We do not make faceframe cabinets and use 37mm set back for system holes. The doors have no gap on the hinge side and drawer faces are flush as well,

If I were still using compact hinges then I would use bumpers because the hinges would create a big gap but the two piece hinges aren't that bad.
