soft close
Dampened door mechanism
Soft close describes a mechanism that prevents slamming—a drawer or cabinet door that slows automatically before shutting: The kitchen cabinets have soft close hinges.
In sales and negotiation, a soft close is a gentle attempt to seal a deal without high pressure, easing the customer toward commitment rather than demanding an immediate answer.
