🔐 Enhanced Lid Support: SafeStay Lid Stay 105° Open with Soft Close, Simple Installation for Toy Boxes and Chests Review

I installed the product and found that the latch is not soft. There doesn't seem to be any resistance. I tightened what I thought was the tension adjustment screw but to no avail. I then emailed the support address that came with the product and received nothing for several days. If anyone from the company is reading this and would like to help, I'd appreciate it.

Husband made a nice toy box for our granddaughter. We went to the local hardware store and big department store and tried different security loops but none of them worked properly. We ordered and installed one of these, but even though it slowed down the lid, it still slammed. Late one night I emailed the company in frustration and when I woke up in the morning I had a reply. They suggested that we put the hinge closer to the back of the box and higher on the lid and that would solve the…

I installed one on a toy chest I make for my grandson. SafeStay arrived on time. Installation was easy, the instructions are well written, and there was even a ruler you could download if you needed it. The cover is fixed in the top position and falls without a snap. I ordered one because the weight was within tolerance, it worked great but my obsessive compulsive disorder prompted me to order an extra one, once installed it closed even more slowly and was soft enough not to pinch my pinky…

I turned a cedar box into a toy box and didn't want it to pinch my little fingers. Some of the reviews bothered me, but I found it worked pretty well. Installation was a little more annoying than I expected as the instructions weren't very good, but I managed as a less experienced person. He caught the lid well after the first six inches of the fall and lowered it gently enough for the kids to move their arms in time. It sort of fell through towards the end, but that wouldn't be enough to hurt…

This product serves its intended purpose well. I built my daughter a dressing table and needed a soft top for the hinged lid. Although it served its purpose, I am deducting 2 stars for the following reasons: 1. The instructions appear to have been printed on a home printer. Due to the lower print quality, it was difficult to see the dimensions. Especially since the measurements are in metric units which need to be converted. Higher print quality and standard conversions would be better. 2. The…

The dimensions are in millimeters so it was a little awkward to convert to inches so I could use my tape measure. The measurements are so accurate that it even lists measurements as 32.5mm. In no case should it be reduced to half a millimeter. I converted it to inches, got a long decimal, rounded it up and guessed where it was on the tape measure. Luckily it worked the first time, so I don't think you need to be insanely accurate with your measurements. You don't need as many measurements in…

UPDATE: I purchased this in April 2019. It collapsed in April 2020. I have no idea how to install this. The instructions are terrible. I'm sorry but I can't give a good rating to a company that uses guides like this. They might be useful for the people in the factory who install these things on a daily basis, but it's silly to send such instructions to customers who are probably installing them right now. Do you really think people would measure 91.8 by 35.8 arbitrarily just to put a screw on a

I first tried the hardware store universal lid opener, which had problems: (1) the lid would not open fully; (2) the assistant pulled the top so that it hit the side panel when it was closed; (3) the tension was too tight or the lid wasn't heavy enough to allow it to stay open about 1 inch; and (4) the setup was a teddy bear that had to be made with a 62 degree lid (or something like that). I replaced that first aid with this SafeStay Lid Rack and am very impressed. The movement is very smooth,

I bought these to achieve a soft closing of a fairly heavy window seat lid with storage underneath. In my application, the box has a 2-1/4" front frame with a 3/4" overhang on either side of the 3/4" stock. The interior molding required the use of a 3/4" thick plank (which I glued). and nailed on both sides) for the mounting bracket so that the body side is flush with the front frame. Hopefully the rest of this review will resolve some of the difficulties I encountered during installation. Not…
