Review on High-Quality Heavy Duty Lid Support Hinges with Soft Close - Keep Your Cabinet, Kitchen, Wardrobe Toy Chamber Lid Open Easily - Max Support 50lb/2pcs by Eddie Rivas

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The closing force adjustment works well. Easy to install but instructions are unclear.

Installed in a large cupboard with a hinged lid, the support function works well and is easy to adjust. Instructions use metric measurements and photos were not printed correctly so buyers must also refer to the photos in this listing. Referring to my picture, which converts the measurements to inches, the distance from the pivot point on the smaller anchor to the top of the cap is about 7 inches (I used 6.75 inches, which is best for my situation). The other attachment point is about 4 inches from the top of the cabinet. When placing the anchors, be careful that they do not interfere with the sides and top of the cabinet. I used a 3/4" gap for a 1/2" wood structure. The friction adjustment at the hinge point allows the lid to remain horizontal until a light pressure is applied to the lid to gently close it. I found the last inch of closing to be a lot slower. If the friction setting is too low, the lid may stay horizontal for a few seconds before closing fairly quickly, so be careful when fine-tuning the friction. For the price this is a good product. I've found the gas spring versions to close slower than these but have more predictable actions but not as adjustable as these.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • slim
