I love the idea of soft close upper cabinets (we'll do drawers below). But living in California I'd also like the cabinets to latch to keep the contents from spilling out in the event of an earthquake.

Is soft close compatible with push to open? Has anyone done that? Is push to open something people do in general at all? I asked one contractor and he thought that, for example, blumotion wouldn't have enough pull to latch at push to close mechanism.

A company called Salice has one model of hinges that manage the push to open, and a separate soft close hinge model. Has anyone seen a hinge that does both?

What would another alternative be?
