Plastic hinges are a lightweight alternative to metal hinges and provide smooth, silent operation. Constant resistance through the full range of motion holds lids, panels, and doors at any angle. All of these hinges have a nonremoveable pin to deter tampering.

Acetal hinges are more moisture resistant than nylon.

In addition to rotating 360°, these hinges tilt up and down. Constant resistance through the full range of motion holds lids, panels, and doors at any angle.

A stop keeps these hinges open at a set angle; push past the stop to open them to 180°. All have a nonremoveable pin to deter tampering. Capacity is based on one hinge per door.

Hinges with a snap-on cover hide the mounting screws.

Lock these hinges open at any angle within their range of motion. Pull the lever up and turn it a quarter turn to make adjustments. All hinges have a nonremoveable pin to deter tampering.

Zinc hinges have mild corrosion resistance.

Nickel-plated aluminum hinges are about half the weight of zinc hinges. They have mild corrosion resistance.

Nylon hinges are a lightweight alternative to metal hinges. They open as wide as 220°.

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.

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.

Hold heavy lids open with these supports. They mount to the side, so they’re often used in overhead installations. 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.

Ratchet supports hold lids still at multiple angles.

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).

These supports can be used on lids that open up from the side, which are good for overhead installations, and on lids that open up from the top, which are good for crates, hatches, and tool chests. 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". They are reversible for right-side or left-side mounting positions.

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". Both are reversible for right-side or left-side mounting positions.

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 top are often used on crates, hatches, and tool chests.

Supports for lids that open up from the side are often used in overhead installations.

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 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.

Holders with a 1 7/8" minimum required door-to-frame clearance have a broader mounting footprint than those with 7/8" minimum required door-to-frame clearance for increased stability.

Brackets are designed to be used in pairs. To ensure proper operation, do not exceed the maximum overhang listed.
