Manually control these standard free-moving lid supports through their full range of motion. Raise or lower the lid until the hold-open mechanism on the support is engaged; slightly lift it again to release the hold and close the lid. To secure the lid in a closed position, use a latch or lock (not included). These supports are rated for maximum lid weight—do not exceed the weight listed. They can be used individually but should be used in pairs for lids longer than 24". All are reversible for right-side or left-side mounting positions.

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.
