Reviews

Soft closing hingeAnonymous reviewerPurchased a bathroom wall cabinet and fitted mirrored doors. I recommend changing the hinges for the soft closing hinges. The extra cost of swapping the hinges for soft closing is well worth the £10 for the replacement hinges.5
Barely soft close. Anonymous reviewerI have bought soft close mechanisms from other companies that work way better than these, so don't expect top quality. They work as hinges ok so they get the 2 stars for that but I will be buying some quality soft close mechanisms and use those. I wouldn't buy these again. 2

Not as easyAnonymous reviewerProblems fitting these hinges none easier than others 3
Hinges work well for wardrobe doorsAnonymous reviewerEasy to fit and work well 5
Very tricky installation, but good hinges once inAnonymous reviewerI used these for the platsa wardrobe system, but my tip is not to follow the guide that says to install them onto the door first and then the frame second The easiest part is the two screws that go onto the door panel, the really tricky one is the two screws that screw into the frame side so do this first! Because of the way the screw is pre-attached to the metal for the frame-side of the hinge, you need to screw a bit of the top screw, then a bit of the bottom screw, top again etc until its mounted properly. Otherwise theres too much pressure on the opposite side's screw which will make it very difficult to screw in. Even with this tip, it still requires quite a bit of torque on your screwdriver to get them driven into the frame! Which is why its much easier doing frame screws first Otherwise, great hinge with plenty of adjustment options3

Very good.Anonymous reviewerVery good product. 5
Not BETSA compatible Anonymous reviewerBought these for my BETSA unit and after opening the packets and attaching to the doors, I realised they do not align with the holes inside the unit. Can’t return as packets have been opened and now have 4 hinges that are useless and had to buy more at £10 for 2 as they are the only ones that fit! 1
BRILLIANT!!Anonymous reviewerIt really annoys me to see poor reviews of these brilliant hinges left by dummies who've either bought the wrong item or don't know a screwdriver from a chisel. They are a straight replacement for the standard (non-soft-closing) Hjalpa hinges fitted to ENHET cabinets, and they work extremely well. You could even get away with using only one soft-close plus one standard hinge, per door. They do not fit ALL Ikea cabinets - they are not designed to!5

Ideal of kids cupboardsAnonymous reviewerBought to go with some until a in my daughters room. At age seven she can’t get her fingers trapped closing the door and I’m hoping as a teenager she won’t be able to slam them either.5

Story

The storage that changes with you

Our living space is often limited, and it can be a challenge to find a place for everything. With PLATSA storage system, we wanted to create a simple, changeable storage solution that you can rebuild and add to, build vertically or horizontally, to the side or in between. On top of everything else, the price should be low but the quality should be high. The solution: the right quality in the right place.

"All you need is your hands," says product developer Freddy Kramer while clicking together one PLATSA frame after another. Yes, clicking. The secret is a type of plug called a wedge dowel. Freddy goes on to explain why assembling or taking frames apart easily is an important detail. "People's lives are changing more and more today ─ we move more often, live in smaller spaces and maybe share a home with others at times. That's why our needs don't look the same throughout life."

Take apart and rebuild

Freddy shows how the frames can be arranged vertically, horizontally or like steps, to then be completed with shelves, wire baskets, clothes rail, drawers and doors. "Even the exterior can be used. You can place hooks there or a clothes rail which is fixed between two frames."

Love in a white box

For PLATSA to be truly long-lasting, quality was just as important as flexibility and ease of assembling. But improving quality without adding to the price is not easy. "Right quality in the right place," Freddy says, and opens a cabinet door. "Here on the outside of the door, which you see and touch every day, we've used a matt foil with fine texture, while the inside, which is not as exposed, is coated with a simpler base foil." The PLATSA project took a lot of time and commitment. But it also gave results. "Those empty white boxes for the frames might not look like much at first glance, but they’re actually white boxes filled with love,” Freddy says, smiling.

Material

What is steel?

Steel has unique characteristics when it is stretched and shaped since it remains strong. It provides strength to everything from skyscrapers and cars to bed frames and outdoor furniture. The steel industry is moving in the direction of more energy-efficient production and stronger steel qualities. It doesn’t lose any of its properties when recycled and today steel is one of the most recycled materials in the world.
