Douper Toy Box Hinges Soft Close Lid Support for Upward Opening and Top Opening Flap Doors Pack of 2 (Weight Capacity-25lbs to 50lbs)

My father-in-law built our son a toy box when he was a baby and he used the standard big box store lid supports. The problem was you couldn’t really effectively adjust the supports to keep the lid from slamming shut. Either it was too tight or too loose. I found these supports and while they were a little more than I wanted to spend, the positive reviews led me to purchase them. They were super easy to install and exactly what we were looking for. With the lid pushed all the way back, the supports will actually keep the lid in the open position. When pushed down it slowly closes the lid. No more little fingers being smashed! Once the boys put some mileage on these supports, I’ll stop back to update. So far, so good!

Schon mehrfach verbaut und super zufrieden mit dem Produkt. Zwar sind die Scharniere auch nicht ganz günstig, aber habe leider noch nichts vergleichbares auf dem deutsche Markt gefunden zu einem günstigeren Preis. Habe sie in vier Spielzeugkisten verbaut und sie halten super.

I bought this for a window storage seat that I made for my house, and it has certainly met my expectations. Here's my experience with it: Efficiency: This hinge does exactly what it's designed to do – it effectively supports the lid of my window storage seat and ensures a smooth, controlled closure. I've encountered no issues with its performance, and it has consistently delivered reliable results. Ease of Installation: One of the standout features of this hinge is its ease of installation. The hinges includes clear instructions and a helpful guide for drilling holes, making the installation process straightforward and hassle-free. I found it easy to install without any complications. Quality Construction: One thing that immediately stood out to me is how well made this hinge feels. Its sturdy construction instils confidence in its durability, and it gives the impression that it will withstand regular use without any issues. Functionality: The hinges make it easy to open the door smoothly and keep it open, which is super helpful, especially for my partner. She can access the storage without any trouble or discomfort, given her back and shoulder pain. Overall, if you're in need of a soft-close lid support hinge that gets the job done efficiently, comes with easy installation instructions, and offers added convenience for those with physical discomfort, this product is a solid choice. Its reliable performance, combined with its quality construction and thoughtful design, makes it an excellent addition to any DIY project, especially for window storage seats.

We first tried some other supports that were rated for the size and weight of our toy trunk lids, and while cheaper, they just didn't work on a number of points: 1) they took many, many attempts to install correctly, 2) when finally installed, they let the lid slam once it was 3/4 closed, 3) and finally the bracket bent during only the installation process. So, we sent those back, I did a ton more research, and then we got these instead. Wow. WORLDS apart! Worth every penny. First, they are very high quality and sturdy. Then, they were so, SO simple to install. The instructions were clear, the measurements accurate, and therefore I had them installed FIRST TRY in about 5 minutes with just a ruler, pencil and screwdriver. Next, they come with a really handy chart that recommends 1 or 2 supports depending on the size and weight of your lid. Even though the chart recommended 2 for our lids, I tried 1 first since you have to install them one at a time anyway. Just one worked great in all respects: the lid stayed open 90º, but once pulled past that point it closed slowly and softly. However, I went ahead and installed a second one as well so the support wasn't overworked, and noticed that the speed with which it closes is about half with 2 supports than with just 1. I tried uploading videos of both to show the comparison, but Amazon only permits one video per review. So the video posted is with 2 supports. Cute 2-year-old shown for scale. I hope this helps others decide to buy these, because we're immensely happy with them!

They work well but think the instructions made it over complicated. I worried I was making it too simple & tried to refer to video they give you QR code for in instructions- been removed from utube so thats useless. I refered back to good old Amazon reviews & that worked the best. Screws included in box. Nicely packaged. Fit in about 10mins. Used both as it was a big heavy lid. Work well in tandem. Soft closes nicely. Very pleased.
