Wall cab restrictor placement

front
10 years ago

I have one wall cabinet that is going to be against a wall. The KD put in a 3/4" trim piece between the wall and cabinet. I'm guessing it is due to the laundry door being right there. The casing is about 1/2in thick. Is this trim piece needed? Someone recommended I should put a restrictor on the door hinge, so it does not bang against the wall.

There are a couple of other locations that I am worried about as well. One is the cabinet next to the refrigerator panel. The door handle could hit the panel when opened. There is also a blind wall cabinet at the corner. I'm concerned about the doors handles banging against the door, if someone opens them fast/carelessly. Do I need to add restrictors to these cabinets? Should I just order them through Schuler, or can I just order aftermarket restrictors that attach to the hinges?
