Up until now Ikea only carried Blum blumotion (soft closing) hardware for drawers, while their hardware for doors were a lesser quality plunger system. Well no more! While at Ikea this weekend we spotted revised door hinges that are higher quality and blumotion compatible. The system works just like the Ikea slow motion drawers, with the blumotion hardware simply clipping onto the hinge.
Prices are $5 for a set of hinges and $5 for a set of “Ikea” blumotion stoppers. And remember, for regular sized doors only one hinge needs blumotion.
Are the Ikea drawer mechanisms Ikea’s own brand or are they truly Blum products sold through Ikea?
They are actual Blum branded hardware. Since I installed my doors while Ikea was transitioning from the old style to the new blumotion compatible hinges, I have both standard Blum hinges and the ones sold through Ikea and they appear to be of comparable quality.
