- Will support the lid at any point of release.
- Made to work on chests where the backwall is 3/4" thick.
- One leaf (the leaf with the wrap-around) of the lid support attaches to the 3/4" thick back wall of chest. The other leaf of the lid support attaches to underside of the lid.
- Available in two finishes: satin nickel or dark oil rubbed bronze.
- Available in three weight ratings (inch-pound ratings). See info below on how to calculate which weight rating size you need for your size lid.
- Mounting screws are included.
- Made from steel.
Calculation Information
- First calculate the "inch-pound" rating of your lid:
- Multiply the front-to-back dimension of your lid (in inches) times the weight of the lid (in pounds) and divide by 2. This equals the "inch-pound" rating of your lid.
- For example if your lid weighs 15 lbs and the front-to-back dimension of your lid is 20 inches your calculation would look like this: 15 x 20=300. Then divide by 2. 300 divided by 2 equals 150 inch-pounds.
- Then choose the combination of lid supports which comes closest to your "inch-pound" rating.
- The lid supports are available in 3 weight rating models: 30, 40 and 60 inch-pounds.
- For the example above (150 inch-pounds) the best choice would be to buy 3 lid supports (two of the 60 inch-pound supports and one 30 inch-pound support).
- It is important to remember that the supports must be installed in a symetrical manner. If you buy two supports, they must both be the same weight rating. If you buy 3 supports (for example, two of the 60 inch-pound supports and one of the 30 inch-pound supports), the 30 inch-pound support must be installed in between the two 60 inch-pound supports. They should also be installed an equal distance apart from each other.
