Professional Upgrade for LeMans II Blind Corner Organizers

Transform your kitchen storage with the LeMans II Soft-Close Dampener Unit. This essential hardware upgrade eliminates noisy tray slamming by providing a smooth, hydraulic-assisted closing motion. Specifically engineered for the LeMans II system, these dampeners protect your delicate cookware and extend the life of your cabinet hardware by ensuring a controlled finish every time the unit is closed.

While the dampener mechanism itself is high-tech, the installation is a simple "snap-on" process that requires no specialized tools for most retrofits. Adding this feature brings the luxury of modern soft-close cabinetry to your existing blind corner solution.

Orientation Specific Design To ensure a perfect hydraulic pull-in, you must match the dampener to your specific LeMans II orientation. A Left-Swing unit requires a Left-specific dampener, and a Right-Swing unit requires a Right-specific dampener. Always check your tray’s exit path to ensure the proper swing match before ordering.

• Safety & Protection: Prevents trays from slamming, which protects your stored cookware and extends the lifespan of the organizer hardware.

Common Questions & Expert Solutions

Q: Is this dampener universal for both Left and Right swing units? A: No. To ensure a perfect hydraulic pull-in, you must match the dampener to your specific LeMans II orientation. A Left-Swing unit requires a Left-specific dampener, and a Right-Swing unit requires a Right-specific dampener. Always check your tray’s exit path before ordering.

Q: How many dampeners do I need per cabinet? A: For the best performance, it is recommended to install one dampener per tray. Since most LeMans II systems feature two trays, a pair of dampeners is ideal for a complete soft-close experience throughout the entire cabinet.

Q: Can I install this on a LeMans I (Version 1) system? A: These units are specifically designed for the LeMans II (Version 2) hardware arms. They are not backwards compatible with the original LeMans I series.

Q: My trays are drifting open slightly; will this fix it? A: Yes. The soft-close dampener provides a self-closing tension that helps pull the tray into the final "parked" position and keeps it securely closed.

Q: What if my trays are making a "clicking" noise during travel? A: This usually indicates a leveling issue. Check that your central support post is perfectly plumb. If the noise persists, applying a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the tray tracks can often solve the problem.
