powerful but soft close mechanism for cupbard doors

[virgil]

OK all you clever tyoes...I've got some normal style bedroom wardroble(normal but hinged) doors that currently use magnet catches to keep closed.

Can't replace with self closing kitechen style hinges as the doors/frames don;t lend them self to it, but looking for some soft/self closing hinge or machanism to keep them closed firmly but that open smoothlty. (Like a very strong kitchen door hinge).

Magnets too strong (the doors vibrate a lot and have to be janked to open)
roler cathes not strong enough (again too harsh when opening)

Any ideas??

Thanks. Which ones though? The soft close ACC for wooden door? How do they work then? Says a pair of soft close hinges, but does not look like a hinge in the picture....

Thanks...
