I get these from a distributor, but I did look up this info on the hinge:"Safety hinge on lid protects young fingers from getting pinched."

It has some hydraulics on it so that it closes slowly and has the opening in the front so children can't smash their fingers.

It has short shocks on each side, inside. These make it close slowly. I did put some foam stickers on the lid so it closes quietly when pushed down. We like this a lot. Can't pinch fingers very easily. Really have to try t wedge them in the wrong spot to pinch them.

Yes it closes quietly, hinges are in-side and I don't know the name but has a small piece of metal on hinge which is connected to top and side so it closes/slides down slow. Has with stood 3 grand-daughters and is still going. Have in natural color and as I said has with stood kids.

It has 2 different holes for the pin at the top that you choose based upon the strength of close required. It does have a pump action close, meaning it will not slam shut from a fully open position. Whether it will close soft enough for your child proof concerns is something probably based upon the weight of your door.

You can leave the door off if you wish , no hinges attached hope this helps.

Not exactly a hinge, but there are some "hooks" that act as a hinge, which work ok if the lid is opened carefully.

Closed with cords in it. 5" end to end, 7 " around the center, 7 1/4 " around where the hinges are.

No, the mechanism/hinge is made so that it will always close. I can say that I love these gates. They are a permanent fixture in my house. I got the black which are very stylish and don't stand out like the white ones do.

The hinges can be locked open. It's a soft lock as in you hyper-extend the hinges so they don't fold. Second question: mine does close softly but it is heavy which could cause a good pinch for a child. Hope this helps

No it is a simple hinge. if it does come off, you can bend the tabs in which retain the top to make it work right.

It's a plastic and rubber piece that acts as a hinge. Even though it doesn't sound well made,it actually is quite nice.

No, it does not have hinges. I called the company and they stopped making hinges on all their toasters some time in the last year.

Its stiff at first, then it opens and closes smoothly. It does require a little hand strength. Now mine opens and closes smooth and easy.

I gave this as a gift to my great granddaughter so am not sure as to the hinges, etc. My granddaughter says they are very pleased with the product as there is a space between the lid and the box that makes it safe for the fingers of children. Not sure if the lid slowly closes or not but they are happy with the box. I noticed that my great granddaughter can get things out of it safely and they don't worry about her getting hurt doing it. Hope this helps.l

It sort of slides to the side. More like a hinge but the end result is the same.

Yes it is. It's on a hinge that moves to close or fully expand. Place it where you want it!

There are slight clicking sounds when opening and closing it but I wouldn't consider it noisy.
