We just had our cabinets installed and we're having the same problem (the handles haven't even been installed yet!!). Funny you mentioned about the silicone dots because we were thinking of doing the same thing. I will have to look into the 90 degree hinges...hopefully that will solve the problem. Our broom closet is a big concern right now but I think I will ask the contractors to remove the door and have it open the other way.

Instead of the dots on the walls, you can put the dots on the edge of the door so that they stop the door before it hits. You have to mess with it to get them in the right spot, and the cubes work a little better than the dots...well anyway it's a little less obvious than dots-on-walls.

Changing hinges seems more sensible if it'll work.

Not sure it makes more sense to put dots on the cabinets themselves. That would be really noticeable.

Depends on the cabinets, the walls, and the dots. If you're opening a cabinet door into a wall, it's likely that the edge of the door that's banging isn't highly visible because it's against a wall.

/shrug. Glad to help.

What you need is a filler of some size between the wall and the cabinet with the door. Do you have some play in the measurements to fit a filler there?

I have a chain inside my cabinet door that prevents it from swinging open wider than 90 degrees.

Similar to artteacher, we have a cable inside the cabinet. I have two doors on either side of my cooktop and hood that these were installed in. Otherwise, our hood would have done a major job on the doors.

I think we will end up with one cabinet where this is an issue. I'm curious to see all the solutions.

bookworm61, KraftMaid makes a kit you can order that is exactly what nhbaskets shows in the picture. I believe it is a called a door stop kit.
