2 Packs [Upgraded] Qrity Cabinet Cupborad Furniture Door Lift Stay Support Hinge Damper - Support Up to 20KG - Opening Angle 75°/90°/110° - Come with Hex Key

These things are fantastic - dead simple, easy to install and work perfectly. A great alternative to spring-loaded struts for RV cabinets or similar, and have the advantage of being able to hold the door open at any point within its range of travel. The instructions...yeah, they are, to be kind, lacking (mine were in Chinese), but installation and adjustment are pretty much a no-brainer. To change from right to left-handed mounting (or vice versa), just swap the position of the top and bottom mounting brackets. A couple of caveats though: - Regardless of the product description, these aren't 'soft closers'. Well...ok, while technically correct in the sense the doors won't slam shut with these installed and properly adjusted, those of you looking for a soft closing device that allows the door to gently glide shut under its own weight need to look elsewhere, as that isn't what these things do. - "Three options of opening door angle" in the product description ... I'm not sure what this is about, as the maximum opening angle is infinitely adjustable. Perhaps what they mean is "these are the three angles we provide instructions for....if you can read Chinese". Otherwise, this things are cool. Buy 'em.

My built in hamper door hinge gave out after 30 years, I looked for a simular replacement several times but I couldn't find one. Finally I was painting the bathroom and decided to go at it more seriously. This item gave me the solution. The door hinges on the bottom. This item gives it a slow open and hard stop feature. I first put a normal hinge on the lower part of the door to the cabinet. This thing stops the door from opening hard and maybe breaking things. The device doesn't come with great instructions but I think anybody could figure it out with a bit of thinking and the pictures they include. One point, the pictures for the new design are wrong, one of the brackets is what I would call strait and one has a 90 bend, which is like the assembly picture shows not the parts spread out pictures. The hinge had to be reversed to work opening down like it does. Most hinges can't be reversed like this. I'm including a picture of my installation which might help somebody.

Just awful. I needed them for a bunny hutch lid. The hinges need assembled with screws, plastic washers, etc. No instructions on how to assemble parts. Just send the completed hinges to be screwed in. It makes no sense. The hinges kept wobbling and wouldn’t stay put. Too bad I missed the return window. Going straight into the trash.

There are a few important points about how this item can be used, but first let me say that I was able to make these items work, but if they had been high-quality, precision made parts, things might have been a bit easier. I wanted a soft-close on a desk for my kid. I originally bought the Sugatsune knuckle-style lid-stay that I've successfully used before on toy boxes, but found that the knuckle hit the bottom of this shallow ( 3 1/2 inch deep) desk compartment. Because both arms on this item are approximately the same length, I was pretty sure I could configure it to fold evenly, which I was eventually able to do. The configuration provided in the measured drawings in the rather skimpy instructions does requires a depth of compartment of approximately 5 inches. By moving the container-side attachment point about 1 1/2 inches down (away from the opening) and 3/4 inches toward the lid hinge, I was able to get it to fold more evenly, so clearance into the depth of the compartment was not an issue. According to the included lid-weight chart, my lid is well within the adjustment range of a single stay, but I found that once I installed one on the right-hand side, the lid slowly closed to about 40 degrees and then dropped without much resistance, even with the friction adjustment at full. So I mirrored the installation on the left-hand side and the lid was pretty hard to close, but no longer dropped hard. So then I removed the right-hand side, and lo and behold, the lid still closed slowly. The loss of resistance was just a bit of a defect in the one stay. It would have worked if I just wanted something to keep the lid open and not control its descent. This all jives with my impression of this hardware from when I first handled it. It's heavy duty and strong enough, but it doesn't feel precision made. It rattles a lot. I will probably not buy this lid-stay again, instead paying about double for the knuckle-type, just because those seems to be made to high tolerances and are nicer to work with. That said, this set of lid stays did work for me and I'm not worried they are going to break under the strain of kids playing with them.

I am using this on a DIY mobile workbench, with a 3/4" plywood top. After installing one, it was obvious I don't need the other one, so it's a spare. As others mentioned, instructions are pretty much non-existent. And I couldn't seem to get more than 2 angles, even thouigh it's supposed to have 3 options.. However it's fairly easy to figure out how the parts are assembled (actually just look at the pics on Amazon). For me, it was difficult to determine just where I should mount the bottom and top, based on the angle I want. I didn't want to just start drilling holes and making attempts until I finally get it right. The diagram I attached is one I found online for a very similar part, but different manufacturer. This really helped me a lot. My first attempt was not exactly the angle I wanted, but VERY close, and I stuck with that. It is working well as a lid stay.

These door lift supports are great for camper cabinets. I added two additional camper cabinets within a Intech Flyer Forge and these worked great to hold the door open. These were far cheaper than the OEM ones and work just as good. Made of good materials and has the ability to adjust for a perfect fit.

My RV has a cabinet door with hinges mounted at the top rather from the side. I have no trouble using the cabinet since mounting one of these hinges on the door. It is easy installing with a little common since. I especially like the adjustment for more or less friction to compensate for the door weight. I have found uses for additional hinges for top mounted doors. They really make life easier

Works well on a 20lb lid of half inch plywood.

These are great ,I put them on the cupboards in our van build but you do have to tighten them once in awhile as they vibrate loose from driving. Other than that they are great.

Me han funcionado perfectamente lo he puesto para un bajo sofá cama dejando un cajón con puerta elevadora debajo del mismo

j'ai remplacé les ancienne par celles çi et c'est parfait elle se monte facilement et de qualité merci

not the perfect material as I was expecting.... but it is ok in reference to its price.

Used to mend broken tent pole. Excellent job done.
