Doors slamming or drawers not closing right? Hardware and soft-close upgrades swap out knobs, pulls, hinges, and drawer slides without touching the doors or boxes themselves. This is a common add-on when refacing older cabinets that never had soft-close originally. It also works fine as its own standalone project if your doors and finish are otherwise fine.
Plant City Cabinet Refacing fits soft-close mechanisms to your existing cabinet frames, matched to door weight and size.

DIY vs pro
DIY vs Hiring a Pro for Hardware & Soft-Close Upgrades
| DIY | Hire a Pro |
|---|---|
| Swapping a knob or pull with the same hole spacing is a simple weekend project | Matching soft-close hinges to door weight keeps them closing properly long-term |
| Basic soft-close hinge kits exist for standard door sizes | A pro avoids drilling errors that leave visible marks if hole spacing changes |
| Mismatched hole spacing or drilling new holes for different hardware is easy to get wrong | Full kitchens are faster and more consistent done in one visit rather than door by door |
