So I have an open plan toyhauler, but on one side is a row of cabinets.at that perfect head level! Omgosh hubby and I have whacked and it hurts!What I need is a cushion along that lower edge and corner to save us and an ER trip :) :)Kinda like when people put a swim noodle on their slide outs to keep from killing themselves, but I need this inside, on a row of cabinets that looks SO MUCH more nicer than a neon colored swim noodle :) :)something that protects ours noggins but is pleasing to the eye?I can't seem to think of what to call this to google up solutions on the internet but I KNOW someone here has dealt with the indoor killer cabinet situation and would love any info to help fix this.thanks for all help :)

I had the same issue with a cabinet over the sink where we store the dishes. What I did was move the hinges from the side to the top so the door flipped up. I had a couple of spring pistons that I installed to keep the door up. Problem solved.RichH

YES! and thank you.I knew there was something out there but couldn't quite put my finger on what is needed.I just went out a bit ago to vacuum the hauler from all the sand on the last trip before we leave Friday....and I just got a tough whack with the sharp a** corner of that cabinet row.So I rushed in and typed this cause I knew you all could help.Thanks Mike-s alot! I will hit Lowes or Home Depot and get before we leave.I appreciate the help so much!

Thank you so much!

There is a ledge above the door in clippers. If you're tall enough, you tend to hit it as you walk out. A friend kept doing that, and I gave him a strip of tassle trim (have it on my door ledge) - he hasn't hit his head again because the tassles remind him that the ledge is RIGHT THERE. You can find a nice tassle trim at any fabric store that will go with your decor.

At BuyBuyBaby they have a nifty foam corner with a sticky back on it. Works really well on the lower edge of my cabinets. I figure I've saved at least a few IQ points since applying them.

The "pool noodle" also comes in BLACK. It's called pipe insulation.

We cut out a section of foam pipe insulation and taped it to the edge. Rarely hit my head anymore.

Thanks everyone. Appreciate the help!

I got great ideas now.

Hitting store soon to make that edge safer for our old noggins :)
