Lid support hinges and stays are designed to support upward-opening lids and keep them open or control how they close, preventing accidental slams and improving safety and usability. These hinges and stays are used on toy chests, storage benches, cabinets, and other boxes or panels with horizontal lids.
Soft-Down Lid Stays: Lid stays with damping features that slow the lid as it closes to prevent slamming and offer smoother motion.
Adjustable Lid Hinges: Hinges and stays with adjustable tension or opening range to tailor support based on lid weight and desired motion.
Locking Lid Hinges: Stays that lock the lid in place at a set angle for added stability and safety.
Spring-Loaded Lid Stays: Hinges that use internal springs to assist opening and holding the lid open.
Heavy-Duty Lid Supports: Robust hinges and stays built to handle heavier lids and frequent use.
Lid Weight & Size: Start by determining the weight and size of the lid you’re supporting—heavier lids require stronger stays or multiple supports to keep them stable.
Opening Range: Choose a lid support with an opening range that matches how wide you want the lid to open without binding or bottoming out.
Control & Motion Type: Decide between soft-down/damping stays for controlled closing, spring-loaded supports for lift assistance, or locking stays for fixed open positions.
Adjustability: Adjustable tension or opening angle features let you fine-tune support based on lid weight or preference.
Mounting Style: Confirm whether your project requires surface-mounted supports for easy installation or concealed supports for a cleaner appearance.
