A closer look at Häfele hardware
Keeping your Häfele hardware looking new
Wipe Häfele finishes with a soft, dry cloth for routine dust; a barely damp cloth handles fingerprints without dulling the finish. For soft-close hinges and drawer slides, avoid forcing them shut — let the mechanism close on its own to protect the internal damper over years of daily use.
