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

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.

Easy enough to install, but the instructions are worthless. Hinge collapses back in the cabinet a little more than desired. All good though. They do the trick.

Description is inaccurate. Put two if these on a small coffee table lid. It holds the lid open but it is not soft close. Lid just slams down. Also very poor build quality. One has a ton of wobbles in the joint while the other is fairly rigid. Both are adjusted to the max stiffness

The media could not be loaded. 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 work well and install easily. Good price. They keep an overhead storage door open in our camper while we are taking things in and out.

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.

We have a travel trailer with a full length cabinet over the bed with three doors that open upward. There was no mechanism installed that kept those doors open so you had to use one hand to open and hold the door up and open and use the other hand to get whatever you needed. A real hassle. These solved that problem beautifully!! Easy to install - took less than half an hour to do all three doors - holds the doors open and a breeze to close. Highly recommend these!!

Work well. A little tricky to figure out how to orient them for the purpose but after I figured it out it was easy.
