I get these from a distributor, but I did look up this info on the hinge:"Safety hinge on lid protects young fingers from getting pinched."

It has some hydraulics on it so that it closes slowly and has the opening in the front so children can't smash their fingers.

It has short shocks on each side, inside. These make it close slowly. I did put some foam stickers on the lid so it closes quietly when pushed down. We like this a lot. Can't pinch fingers very easily. Really have to try t wedge them in the wrong spot to pinch them.

Yes it closes quietly, hinges are in-side and I don't know the name but has a small piece of metal on hinge which is connected to top and side so it closes/slides down slow. Has with stood 3 grand-daughters and is still going. Have in natural color and as I said has with stood kids.

No hinges. It does have stiff ridges on the sides. They're not stiff like metal, but more like celery.There is another stiff ring that goes around the patella.

I have used these hinges in the past and they don't close soft, if you mean slow and quite. I have used these as replacement hinges for my kitchen cabs so I have always used the old screws. If you need to buy cabinet hinge screws from the hardware store, they would be in the hinge department, depending on wood type.

Only the lid and main ring are soft close. The child seat ring is a relatively thin piece of plastic that is attached by a simple hinge (and removable).

Correct. It doesn't seem to close completely. But when you lay your feet on it, it does shut. The hinge is just too tight.

It has hinges. It's smaller than I imagined and the pleather ripped quickly, though I have a lot of pets. The one I had prior I had gotten at jcpenny and I liked it a lot more, it was more money, but worth it

No it does not, but I used it along with the Blumotion Hinge Adapter (also on Amazon) to add the "soft close" feature.

Yes the lid closes completely. It's thin quality material, that I don't realize it's there if the light isn't bright.

Not so much a latch, but the hinges straighten out and it stays open like in the picture.

Its stiff at first, then it opens and closes smoothly. It does require a little hand strength. Now mine opens and closes smooth and easy.

This product doesn't have self-closing hinges. If you leave the lid upright, it will lean against the wall and won't close by itself. If you leave the lid not upright, it will slam shut and won't close softly.

Not exactly a hinge, but there are some "hooks" that act as a hinge, which work ok if the lid is opened carefully.

Hi, it's not a "hinge" per se, but it does have "slots" it sits in so that it opens and closes with ease. Works beautifully! If you wish to take the lid off, it comes off simply, so that you can "dump and sort" which is what I do on laundry day. Fantastic product, will last, and last. VERY well made, worth every penny! Highly recommend! Oh! And get the complementary one with lots of holes for the towels. I have found that to be the perfect combination. -Deb

I have this model door closer and it closes perfectly - complete closes, quietly and quickly, with a soft close. Ours does not keep the door open, but I do not know if it has the ability to do so.

No, not those soft hinges that they have on kitchen cabinets. It has adjustable, metallic hinges.

The one I have does have quiet hinges. But... if the operator releases the lid while it's fully open, then it falls down hard with a rather loud smack.

it is a single hinge. non mortising hinges do not have that tab that lets screw in from the back of the door. these are stronger.
