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.

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.).

Hold lids, panels, and doors open without props, locks, or springs. These hinges move smoothly into position and resistance keeps them there.

Also known as hatch springs, these supports are commonly used on hatches and other top-opening lids. Raise the lid to extend the spring, which props the lid open—an internal cable keeps the spring from overextending. Press the center of the spring 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".

Hold doors open within the 85° to 110° range without adding clutter to your floor or walls. The hold-open function can be turned on or off by turning a knob or nut on the holder. In the off position, holders act as a shock-absorbing stop to prevent doors from opening too far.

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".

A hinge and door holder in one, these hinges have built-in stop points to keep doors open at specific angles. They’re often used to vent control cabinets while machines run or keep doors open for maintenance and inspection. If you need more space, push past the last stop to open hinges to 180°

Move objects up, down, and all around—these hinges rotate 360° and tilt to any angle within their range. Mount them to equipment panels, carts, workstations, and vehicle trays.

A lightweight alternative to metal hinges for lids, panels, and doors. Instead of springs or props, these hinges use resistance to keep lids, panels, and doors open.

Keep environments free of contaminants—with plastic bushings, there's no metal-to-metal contact that can release particles as these supports open and close. Manually control these free-moving lid supports through their full range of motion. 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. To secure the lid in a closed position, use a latch or lock (not included; see our clean room magnetic latches).

They are rated for maximum lid weight—do not exceed the weight listed. The supports can be used individually but should be used in pairs for lids longer than 24".

Change the resistance of these hinges by turning the screw. They hold lids, panels, and doors open without props, locks, or springs.

Hold heavy lids open with these supports. 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. To secure the lid in a closed position, use a latch or lock (not included). 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".

Manually control free-moving supports through their full range of motion.

These brackets have greater weight capacities than standard duty fold-away shelf brackets.

Speed Limiters for Shelf Brackets—Speed limiters prevent slamming, cushioning brackets so they fold down softly and safely.

Hold heavy lids open with these supports. 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. To secure the lid in a closed position, use a latch or lock (not included). 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".

Ratchet supports hold lids still at multiple angles.
