RUYUFE Lid Stay Hinge Soft Close Safety Lid Support Toy Box Hinge for Kitchen Cabinet of Top-Upward Opening Top Flap Doors

I got nervous when I couldn't flex it by hand and saw these reviews about no movement... Installed it anyway and lo and behold with the bolt in and weight on it glides down like a charm.Works better than the pneumatics on my old minivan. 10/10 A++ flexes well.

RUYUFE Toy Box Soft Close Lid Support 70N-120NAfter two attempts with other devices, these are actually soft closing. The gas shock type required mounting lower on the sides than was possible on these window seats. The metal adjustable type (QBOSO) were not really soft closing. After closing slowly for about 45 degrees, the lid slammed shut. These are better suited to a downward opening lid. It would be soft opening in this case.I installed one of the Ruyufe lid supports on each of two 13.5” x 52 3/4” window seat lids. The lids have two flush mounted hinges and weigh 10-12 lbs. each. I added blocks to the sides to extend the mounting surfaces. After attaching the top bracket as recommended in the instructions at 6 inches from the back edge, the lid only opened to about 75 degrees. Moving this bracket down 3/4” allowed the lid to open to 90 degrees. This resulted in the screw closest to the hinge to be centered 5 1/4” from the hinge side of the lid.The Ruyufe lid supports allow a secure opening to 90 degrees with the installation modification explained above. Pull the lid down 5-10 degrees, it closed very gently all the way down.I didn’t expect it to be so difficult to find a device that would enable soft closing for my situation. A toy box with solid sides would allow the gas shock type to work. A downward opening lid would probably allow the QBOSO type to work as a soft opening device. With a couple of modifications, the Ruyufe lid supports were the only type to work for my window seat lids.

The media could not be loaded.  Oct. 12, 2022: RUYUFE's Lid Support Hinge was easy to install. It took me less than 10 minutes to install it onto my parcel box. It has a very easy template that you can use. You don't need to use any of the included measurements, but you can if you want to. My lid is very small & light weight, so it doesn't really need the full 120N support of the hinge. It goes down very slowly; it will stay open; you can push it down to close, as well (it is stiff going down, which is good for me). It stays open up to 90°, and it was the right price. The materials are a sturdy and solid metal construction. Thank you, have a nice day. PaulJC 10/12/2022

I remodeled my closet for bench seats. I had ordered a different set of these from a different vendor that wouldn’t hold the weight of the lids. These have been working great for about a year. But recently my wife got into the storage and pushed on the lid to close it quicker and it broke pretty easily. Don’t do this and you will be fine. I just ordered a replacement. For the price you can’t go wrong.
