Heavy Duty Lid Support Hinges Soft Close Folding Lid Stay Hinge, Perfect for Cabinet Kitchen Wardrobe Toy Chamber, Max Support 50lb/2pcs

Installed in a high reach cabinet with a lift-up lid and the support feature worked well and was easy to adjust. The instructions use metric measurements and rely on photographs that have not printed well, so buyers need to refer to the photos on this listing as well. Referring to my picture, converting the measurements to inches, the distance from the pivot point on the smaller anchor to the top of the lid is approx 7-inches (I used 6.75 inches which worked best for my situation). The other anchor point is close to 4-inches from the top of the cabinet. Take care when situating the anchors such that they do not interfere with the cabinet sides and top. I used 3/4-inch clearance for 1/2-inch wooden construction. Adjusting the friction at the hinge point enables the lid to stay horizontal until light pressure on the lid for it to softly close. I found that the last inch of closure happens much more slowly. If the friction adjustment is too low, the lid may stay horizontal for a few seconds before closing quite quickly, so take care in fine-tuning the friction. For the price, this is a good product. I have found gas strut versions to be slower closing than this yet have a more predictable operation but are not as adjustable as this one is.

The product design allows you to switch up how you install it, depending on your needs. Installs right or left side and has adjustable tension. Opens and closes with ease, but I also bought a magnet for the top to ensure that it stays closed. I likely will never test the 50 lb max weight capacity since I only have a coffee maker and air fryer in the cabinet. The instructions aren't very clear, so be prepared to use some creativity at times. The measurements provided on the instructions would not have worked for my project. I ended up using a level + square to find the measurement length for a 90 degree angle.

Had to adjust the slow close feature with the Allen wrench after we got the hinges installed. Happy with the results.

these are garbage, Even the allen wrench included didn't work because of poor manufacturing

Lid fell and cut the end of my finger and required stitches.

Great product! Works perfect on my garden cabinet. I will buy this same one if I need them. Easy to install. Strong and fits perfect

I read reviews prior to ordering that said the instructions were bad, but they are actually pretty much non existent. The directions consist of 7 tiny diagrams, on a 6” x 4.5” slip of paper illustrating the dimensions for each type of installation. There are no “step-by-step” instructions. There are no illustrations showing which directions the brackets face. The measurements are in inches that have been converted from metric units, so the measurements break down into 32nd and 64ths of an inch. It would have been easier if they had kept them in metric numbers. After careful measuring for the placement of the brackets, before drilling the holes, I discovered the placement of the screws was a greater distance than the span of the support arms! I ditched the instructions and determined the placement of them by using the product photos as a reference Once installed, I had to adjust the support to the tightest position. So now it is pretty hard to start the shut and then it still slams slightly once the lid is about 4” from being shut. This is not at all what I expected. If I had not already drilled the holes for the first bracket on my newly restored chest, I would have returned them. I do not recommend this product. In addition to the horrible instructions, the metal is flimsy and in-fact one of hinges was bent slightly and I easily bent it back. The lower bracket has three screw holes, but they only provide 2 screws. I had to add a third screw as the bracket moved slightly when shutting the lid. Over time this would have quickly loosened with only 2 screws. Spend a little more and get a higher quality product.

I had purchased these hinges for a rabbit hutch that I was making. It was easy to install these into the hutch. They are nice and smooth to use. It also holds out the roof and when I want to close it, they nicely retract back. I would recommend!

We wanted it for a heavy toy box lid. It was useless, and so we returned it. Instructions provided were very poor.
