I'm building a wooden toy box for my son. He's only 10 months old so naturally I'd like to protect his fingers from slamming lids. Rockler has the perfect item!!!....at a ridiculous price. Anybody have good experiences with anything cheaper that will prevent the door from slamming shut? I know there's no price on safety but using these hinges will double the cost of materials for this thing. Seems a little dumb to me if I can find a suitable alternative.
Don't get me wrong, I messed with the torsion hinges at Rockler a couple weeks ago. They are awesomely smooth and very well designed. I just wish they were cheaper.
