Lid Stay 105 Degree Open with Soft Close, Lid Support for Toy Box and Upward Top-Opening Flap Doors, Easy to Install (Pack of 2)

The installation takes a bit of time to figure out at first, but once you get the hang of it, adding more is easy, and they really help prevent little hands from getting pinched when the cover closes. I used these hinges on cabinet doors for a built-in kitchen unit that needed to open upward and stay open. Since the doors are glass, the soft-close feature was really important, and these worked perfectly. It did take a little trial and error to get the installation right and adjust the soft-close tension, but once it was set, everything worked great. The arm moves smoothly, letting the lid open all the way to 105 degrees and stay in place. My daughter loves that she can get to all her toys without the lid slamming down. The Lid Stay is made from strong metal, so it handles heavy lids without any issues, and the powder-coated finish helps prevent rust and chips over time. I ended up making a small jig out of 1/4" plywood to help figure out where to mount the bracket since the instructions weren't very clear on that part.

The media could not be loaded. I used this to add a slow close to an ikea nammaro box. I added a piano hinge and then one of these to keep fingers from getting smashed. It was easy to install and I was able to adjust from the guide a bit since the box had slats and the guide didn’t quite get all the screws into one as is. Works great! Make sure you pay attention to the weight so that it closes correctly. This lid was about 5lbs and easily opens and closes now with one of these (I had two boxes and used one on each).

Don't trust the template! Follow the measurements on the template, but don't trust the template. I was worried that the force required for closing may be more than my child could handle, and so far, it's been easy for them to open and close without an issue (and without smashing any fingers).

The one I have installed works great, and it was very easy to install.

purchased to use to prevent a kid's toy chest from slamming shut- not easy to install (directions are ambigious at best)- and the hinges, once installed, don't prevent the lid from slamming. I would NOT recommend this product at all.edit: Vendor immediately reached out and did issue a refund for the product. really appreciate the speed on this.

Works great but quite difficult to install. Instructions were less than helpful.

I'm a cabinet builder and was using different kinds of struts and lids supports on toy boxes window seats etc. for about the same price, this one is the easiest to install, I installed only one on a 15" x 48" Birch plywood lid and it shuts really slow, my only complaint is I wish I could adjust the closing speed but then I will complain that the price is too high if they make one, so I'm satified with it the way it is , my advice is if you watch the instructional video they screw the plate on top of the template with all the screws all the way in and then they remove them , I drilled a small pilot hole instead on all the holes, since the more times you put a screw to wood and remove them, eventually they will fall off.Hopefully these will last, I will check back if I get a call back from my customers that they broke and not working .

I connected the Lid Stay to her new play box after I had finished putting it together by following the straightforward installation instructions. The hardware that is supplied in the package is used to simply screw it into the rear edge of the lid and the opening of the box. The support arm may be retracted and extended in a fluid manner, which enables the lid to become completely open to 105 degrees while remaining in place. The fact that she can get to all of her toys without the lid falling down abruptly is something that my daughter really enjoys. The strong metal design of the Lid Stay is able to handle the weight of even the most substantial and hefty lids. Its powder-coated surface is also resistant to chipping and rusting over time, like other finishes. The functionality of the gentle shut is considered to be one of my favorite aspects. Whenever my daughter is finished playing, she just presses the lid shut in a gentle manner, and the Lid Stay progressively retracts until the lid shuts in a manner that is both quiet and comfortable. The lids will no longer slam loudly! Additionally, the regulated and smooth closure is significantly safer for the fingers of young children.

Works exactly as advertised.Easy to install,Quite strong inhave 2 but could have done with just one.

The media could not be loaded. Currently making a toybox for myself and my wifes baby and wanted to make sure to have a soft close lid for the future to protect fingers. Easy to install and perfect for top lid application. They allow the top to drop at a slow pace and look nicer than the usual strut setups. very pleased even if they are a little pricey i think for the quality and other products ive used there worth the money.

As other people have said, the instructions make no sense whatsoever. Quicker to just use common sense and move it around different positions until it works. I installed one as the weight of the lid dictated; it holds open but still slams shut so will install the second and hope that resolves it.

I bought a pair these for the lid of a toy box. They were easy to install and were perfect for the job. Highly recommended.

Just buy them all ready.
