Friction Lid Supports




Providing constant resistance through the full range of motion, these supports hold lids open at any angle up to 70° or 90°. Simply raise or lower the lid and let go—friction keeps it in position. These supports can be used individually but should be used in pairs for lids longer than 24". Mounting position is determined as you look into your cabinet or chest.
Supports for lids that open up from the side are often used in overhead installations.
Supports for lids that open down from the side allow lids to double as a work surface when they are open, similar to a drop-leaf desk.
All of these supports are rated for torque instead of maximum lid weight. Calculate your lid's torque and make sure it falls within the range listed—too much torque will cause your lid to slam; too little will prevent it from closing. Torque = Lid Height (inches) × 0.5 × Lid Weight (lbs.).

Soft-Closing Lid Supports




To eliminate slamming and smashed fingers, these supports automatically pull lids shut when they approach the closed position. Raise the lid until the hold-open mechanism on the support is engaged; slightly lift it again to release the hold and close the lid. These supports can be used individually but should be used in pairs for lids longer than 24". Mounting position is determined as you look into your cabinet or chest. Reversible mount supports are for right-side or left-side mounting positions.
All of these supports are rated for torque instead of maximum lid weight. Calculate your lid's torque and make sure it falls within the range listed—too much torque will cause your lid to slam; too little will prevent it from closing. Torque = Lid Height (inches) × 0.5 × Lid Weight (lbs.). Supports with a speed adjustment screw allow you to control their closing speed.
Supports that do not hold lid closed require a latch or lock (not included) to secure lids in a closed position. Supports that hold lid closed are designed to hold lids in the closed position.
Supports for lids that open up from the side are often used in overhead installations.
Supports for lids that open up from the top are often used on crates, hatches, and tool chests.

Compact Soft-Opening Lid Supports


Requiring less space to mount and operate, these supports are often used on small cabinets and enclosures. They gradually slow your lid's motion to prevent it from slamming open. To open lids, lower them and the supports will slowly and softly do the rest. Manually shut the lids and the supports will hold them in the closed position. Designed for use on lids that open down from the side, these supports allow lids to double as a work surface when they are open, similar to a drop-leaf desk. They can be used individually but should be used in pairs for lids longer than 24". They are reversible for right-side or left-side mounting positions.
All of these supports are rated for torque instead of maximum lid weight. Calculate your lid's torque and make sure it falls within the range listed—too much torque will cause your lid to slam; too little will prevent it from closing. Torque = Lid Height (inches) × 0.5 × Lid Weight (lbs.). An adjustment screw allows you to control the opening speed.
