Slow Closing Drawers/ Cabinets

234 views

I’m always facinated on how things work. What prevents slow closing drawers/ cabinets from closing abruptly?
What happens to the momentum of closing and slowing it down doesn’t cause it to get stuck?
Why are they not used on regular house doors, refrigerators, etc? This would save a lot of accidents.

They use hydraulics.

Refrigerators could have it, but it’d be expensive and require one of those [bars you see some exterior doors](https://www.lcnclosers.com/en/products/surface-mounted/1250-series-closers.html) have but also with hydraulics. Many commercial doors are self-closing, I don’t know how many slow-down an attempt to fast/quick close the door.
