Best Hardware Bumpers
MADE IN THE USA WITH SUPERIOR ADHESIVE PERFORMACE!
Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"After enduring months of cabinet slamming, I finally decided to talk to my neighbors to resolve the problem only to find out they had no door bumpers - or at best - the really flat ones."
"This slows the impact and spreads the impact, quieting the sound more effectively than the simple dome bumpers they replaced."
"When removing the bumper from the backing sheet, this thin, clear, taffy-like adhesive goo would rather stay on the backing sheet, thus often pulls away from the bumper where it belongs."
"Very unique design."
"These bumpers work quite well and were exactly what I expected."
"(water heater). The good news is that I bought them for my chopping board to begin with. There's a little bit of a bounce if I thud the board hard enough, and it doesn't slide unless there's a puddle underneath."
"I scraped felt bumpers off before I painted and they were so disgusting, they pick up dirt and grease as the years go on so I knew I didn't want that kind again. I have used the hard rounded plastic bumpers on a few of my rental property kitchen cabinets, but they are still somewhat loud."
"These are much quieter, though to be fair I do not have solid wood cabinets (they're separate parts), so they will never be "quiet" when they close."

"If you own a dangler (Munroe, Tek, Gear-pull, pickpocket, etc), you should definitely own some of these Micro-Lock S Biners."
"I try not to carry a lot of crap on my keychain because it's annoying and messy but I have to have my car key, My KeyBar (key organizer, google it, it's amazing), small flash light and one whimsical item, in this case it's a keychain from a friend."
"The image I am looking at right now, the one on which I made my purchase, shows two Nite Ize S-biners of size 1; what I got in the mail was one S-biner of size 2, so you tell me how many starts I should put?"
"I also use the biner to hold my extra car key. The safety feature on my keyless entry won't let me lock the door while my car is running so I need to lock it manually in the winter to heat up my car before I leave in the morning and the s biner once again makes it a snap."
"Other reviewers complained about these being too small, but I think they are too big to be comfortable in my pocket and not secure enough to hang my keys from when hooked to a belt loop."
"(BTW - it's a very crowded keychain - three keys, car lock opener, knife, flashlight, Ti toothpick, 4 bit screwdriver, mini pliers and customer rewards fob."
"Love these little things."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"Something to pay attention to: before you tighten everything down, make sure the turning mechanism moves smoothly. After you mount the main locking mechanism inside & out, experiment with locating the "surface strike plate" so it matches well with the deadbolt, and that it's far enough away from the digital lock so there isn't slack in the door being able to open a little even when it's locked - don't want the door to be ajar enough to let outside air in when the locking mechanism is locked.And I made the hole a little bigger that the "spindle" goes through (in the middle hole) so it would turn smoothly (I didn't quite make it big enough when I first drilled it)."
"One reviewer pointed out, and I tested and confirmed it's true, that the way this style of lock works means someone can enter the digits you choose for a password in any order - which makes it much less secure."
"Be sure you have the required area to seat the base unit on the door (mine had plenty of space)."
"Durable lock for old aluminum sliding glass door."
"I have a park model travel trailer that I use as a summer home."
"Installation was fairly straightforward as long as you paid very careful attention to the instructions."

"Put them to use right out of the box...then at the close of the day, went back to Amazon and hit the "Buy Again" button and got two more. Couldn't be happier about finding this elegant solution to a wide range of work lifting and bracing challenges."
"Great poles."
"I thought it was a little hard to figure out how to use these at first (I couldn't find any instructions), but essentially you use the buttons on the sides as large adjustments and the handle as a very small adjustment - it's hard to see the effect of the handle at first because the movement is so small."

"It is a little long, but all I did was as some tape to one end of it and it fits nice and snug now and does not rattle one bit."
"I bought a set from a retail store but discovered the pin was not long enough to work with a class IV hitch."

"Overall this product is the most solid hitch reciever lock I have ever used or seen. I will keep the extra one for a spare for the main hitch reciever lock."
