We just found out that they do indeed offer it as an option. For our Trenton Chef's Kitchen it was a lovely $2708 option!!!?? It made more sense to upgrade to the Royal cabinet line for $4200 more which includes the soft closure (and a much better door). It's all up to you and how much work you want to do after you move in. You can easily buy the hardware and do it yourself, but personally I didn't want to mess with my new kitchen.
Yes after posting I looked into it as well and found it too expensive as a stand alone option. I went to the Frendel showroom and the nice sales rep showed me what a simple retrofit it would be to do the doors later. The soft close mechanism simply snaps onto the existing hinges. No removal required. The drawers are very difficult to do apparently so we will be leaving those alone. We decided to go with a Master Layout and chose the Classic Premium line. We will be adding the soft close mechanism to the doors only after closing.
