Who this list is for
This no-drill checklist is for adding clear adhesive soft-close bumpers to cabinet doors and drawers in a small kitchen. The project depends on clean, dry contact surfaces.
How to use this list
Open the doors and drawers first to identify where they meet the cabinet frame. Clean those spots with mild all-purpose cleaner, then wipe with rubbing alcohol using lint-free cloths. Let surfaces dry fully. Use the small ruler and fine-tip marker to keep placement consistent, and use painter's tape to test locations before pressing on each clear adhesive cabinet bumper.
Common mistakes
Do not apply bumpers to greasy, damp, or dusty surfaces. Avoid placing them where they interfere with a hinge, drawer slide, or a door that already closes tightly. Do not touch the adhesive side more than necessary. Cotton swabs can help clean tight corners, while paper towels and a trash bag keep the work area tidy.
What is on this list
The list includes a pack of clear adhesive cabinet bumpers, rubbing alcohol, lint-free cloths, mild all-purpose cleaner, cotton swabs, painter's tape, a fine-tip marker, small ruler, paper towels, and a trash bag. Cross off cleaning supplies and tools you already have.
When you are done
Close each door and drawer slowly to confirm the bumpers contact evenly. Move any bumper that shifts the door out of alignment. Keep spare bumpers in a clean, dry spot for future cabinet doors or drawers.
