What is a Self-Close Mechanism?

A self-close mechanism, also known as a self-closing mechanism, refers to a hardware component that is designed to automatically close a door or drawer after it has been opened. It provides a convenient and efficient way to ensure that doors and drawers are securely closed without the need for manual intervention.

The self-close mechanism typically consists of hinges or slides that have built-in springs or other mechanisms that generate closing force. When the door or drawer is opened, the mechanism is activated, and it slowly and gradually applies force to return the door or drawer to a closed position. This allows for a controlled and gentle closing motion, preventing slamming or abrupt movements.
