Recent Customer Feedback:
I have to say that I am not only
impressed by the stock that you
offer but that I am thrilled by the
fact that you have delivered what
I ordered when I asked that it be
delivered. With all of the "big box"
home improvement centers
replacing the older hardware
stores it has become increasingly
tougher to find repair parts. After
surfing your site a bit it is obvious
that you folks are a place that I will
recommend to my buddies for their
cabinet repair and construction
needs. Thanks so much for taking
such excellent care of me. - Joe
How fast and helpful you have
been in helping me, not only to
get info on your product but also
the web site to help me build the
door/bookshelf I wanted to
achieve. Thank you for your quick
and accurate help. -Jill O'Brien
Thank you for the prompt response.
If I can't find 'em, I'll be back for
the bigger hinges and just recut the
doors. Thanks again. Your customer
service makes you stand out from
your competitors. -Dennis Fitch

Toy Box Lid Supports
Toy Box Lid Supports, Weight Rated
Finishes:
|
|
Description:
|
|
- Used in conjunction with a hinge these lid suports counterbalance the lid to keep it from slamming shut.
- Recommended for toy chests, cedar chests, blanket chests, etc.
- Self-balancing feature holds lid in any position to about 85 degrees.
- Available in 8 weight ranges from 20 inch/lbs. to 140 inch/lbs.
- Available in two mounting positions as shown in photo. The "left hand" model is mounted on the left hand side wall of your box. The "center" model is mounted anywhere along the back wall of your box. It can also be used as a "right hand" model by mounting it "near" the right hand side of your box but it will be mounted to the back wall instead of the side wall.
- FORMULA: To calculate the inch/pound rating of your lid multiply 1/2 the front to back lid distance(in inches) times the lid weight (in pounds).
- It is always best to actually weigh your lid on a scale. However if this is not possible and your lid is made from plywood, you can use the following to calculate the approximate weight of your lid; 3/4" thick plywood weighs about 2.34 lbs. per square foot.
- For inch/pound ratings over 140 use more than one lid support (do not combine lid supports of different ratings).
- If you use two lids supports on one lid, the combined inch/lbs rating of the two supports should equal the inch/lbs calculation for your lid.
- Made of steel base material
- Overall length is 6"
- Uses 4 each #6 screws per lid support (not included). Order our SKU # 286252. Screws are offered for purchase during checkout.
- For children's toy boxes we recommend purchasing the "center" model and installing your lid support or lid supports centered along back wall of your toy chest. This will keep the mechanism out of the way of small fingers and hands.
- PLEASE NOTE: for this product to work properly it is important that you use the simple formula shown above to calculate the "torque" or "moment" that your lid creates as it pivots on its hinges. It is a combination of the weight of the lid and the front to back dimension of the lid. If you need help with the calculation email us the exact weight of your lid (in pounds) and the front to back dimension of your lid (in inches) and we will do the calculation for you. We will email you back the correct items for you to order.
