Douper Lid Stay Tension Adjustable Lid Support Hinge for Top-Upward Opening Kitchen Cabinets Maximum Bearing Capacity 40lbs/2pcs

Hands down the best choice for holding up lift cabinets in our travel trailer. My wife and I were getting tired of having to hold the cabinet doors up and only having one hand free to reach in. I found various cheap lift supports in local hardware stores, mostly slide type supports with a large tension screws that were not so easy to use and looked hokey, but then I stumbled on these at Amazon.com. Functional and they look good too. Nice satin nickel finish. Proper hardware for the job that don't look chintzy. Very easy to install and adjust. Once I measured and got one installed the others were easier to do. With the right tension they actually work kind of like a slow-close with our lightweight cabinet doors. These are strong, sturdy supports and I could see some residential applications but use caution with heavier lids. The cabinet doors in our travel trailer are lightweight and easy to support, so I only used one for each. UPDATE: May want to consider adding a small mending plate or brace on the corner of less sturdy doors, the tension added by these supports can cause stress and weaken the corner joint.

I used the hinges to support/operate 2 plexiglass windows in a playhouse I built for my granddaughter. I added support to mount the lower hinge base and stress support on the plexiglass. The hinges work great and do the job I needed done. The fit & finish is good and the cost is also reasonable. I would buy these items again. The illustrations on the package were hard to decipher. I converted mm to inches and added wood block for lower mount & aluminum support on plexi for upper mount. I made a mock up on scrap wood to see the mechanics of the hinge operation, & followed the 110 deg diagram. Holes were right the first time.

Ottime cerniere soprattutto per i mobili in truciolare (cucine) a differenza dei pistoncini non applica nessuna pressione/forza all'attacco viti sia in chiusura sia in apertura. La regolazione della frizione per mezzo della brugola in dotazione permette l'apertura anche non completa.

This Douper soft close door stay is REVERSIBLE, which means that you can use it to gently open a drop down door flap. I have 4 such doors in my touring caravan and without this clever device there was a real risk of bruised or even broken toes as the door flaps are merely hinged. With these soft OPEN stays fitted the problem is completely solved. Fitting the Douper stay is really easy - only basic DIY skills and tools required. They come complete with fixing screws and the all important hex key to adjust the tension and the Satin Nickel coating adds the finishing touch of class.

Worked great for the toy box my husband built for our daughters. Keeps the heavy solid wood lid up and locked into place and eases shut so no worries about them hitting their head or pinched fingers. My husband said the installation instructions were easy to follow. Great product
