Reply to: i've recently purchased two brands of soft-close cabinets, henrybuilt and kraftmaid. i've noticed that a couple of the kraftmaid drawers are hard to open, as if there's a suction on them. but overall, we've had no problems and are satisfied with the product. my henrybuilt cabinets are equipped with blum soft-close hardware. initially, one of these drawers stoppped to a 1/2" from closing. i called the cabinet company and they said the mechanism is extremely sensitive to any foreign particles. they highly advise covering the mechanism before drilling the cabinets. this may be the cause of your problem. i would remove the drawers and make sure the mechanism is free of particles. my contractor dusted them with a clean, natural-haired paintbrush. it's working fine now.
