Are the hinges safety hinges or a slow close hinge so the top can't slam down?

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

Tiny slow close and then it stops and hovers until you manually push it close.

The hinges are also steel and the base is welded. I have had mine for a couple years now and still love it. Every hinge is adjustable and can tighten.

The hinges do not lock, but the top stays open on its own. I would say it closes softly. Fingers could get pinched, but it is padded. I just shut it down on my fingers and put my weight on it and while it was uncomfortable, it didn't hurt them. I have a 14 month old and we haven't had an issue. The baby would have to shut it down while putting pressure on it. Just closing it shouldn't hurt.

Pretty tight, doubt the rocking motion can move the hinges. You also have the option of tightening it yourself.

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

The 83SLOW and 183SLOW both have slow-close hinges and the 83EC and 183EC do not. The '83' versions are round and the '183' versions are elongated.

No. The hinged top prevents it from being airtight, not just along the hinge, but also at the sides where the hinges end.

No, the door does not have a slow, self closing hinge. It's a Euro hinge (I think that's what it's called) where both parts of the hinge are inside, not outside the cabinet. The door will slam shut if you let it. You need to physically close the door.

Yes, it is on hinges. And it doesn't slam down which is great because you won't catch your fingers. You can have it halfway open and it'll stay that way... Hope that helps.

There nuts under some caps where it hinges. Tighten those , you should be able to tighten it to the point where it is hard to move.

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

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."

To my way of thinking. Why not lessen the tension on the first door closer so it doesn't slam. Your method seems to be like accelerating and braking at the same time when driving your motor-car.

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's a non-linear spring . You have to adjust it to find the best compromise result of both closing the door but not so strong it slams . It helps if the other hinges are properly lubricated before you adjust this . Mine closes but doesn't slam .

So far I have not had a problem with the hinges. The seperator has been sturdy so far.

The hinges need to be adjusted. Loosen the adjustment on them and see if the doors close all the way that way. If they do, then adjust accordingly. If they don't they weren't installed correctly or you bought the wrong ones.
