Self-Opening Lid Supports




Springs provide lifting assistance to raise and hold lids open—slightly lift the lid to get it started and the support will do the rest. Manually shut the lids and the supports will hold them in the closed position. All of 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". They 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 up from the top are often used on crates, hatches, and tool chests.
