Recommended Lid Weight & Installation Guidance
Force Rating: 300N per strut (600N total per pair)
Recommended Lid Weight: Suitable for lids approximately 30–54kg when installed correctly. Actual lifting performance depends on hinge position, lid material and mounting geometry.
Recommended Mounting Position:
- Install one strut on each side of the lid
- Mount approximately 20–30% down from the hinge on the lid panel
- Position the lower L bracket around 80–120mm below the top inside edge of the chest frame (depending on internal depth)
- Ensure the strut is slightly compressed when fully closed to maintain correct preload tension
⚠ If the lid is heavier than 54kg, a higher force rating may be required.
⚠ If the lid is lighter than 30kg, the struts may feel too strong.
🔧 Mounting Bracket Type – 4x L Bracket Kit
This kit includes 4x heavy-duty L brackets (90° angle brackets) and is recommended for:
- Storage chests with thick or reinforced internal frames
- Deep indoor blanket boxes or toy chests
- Wooden storage chests with strong inner supports
- Hardwood or composite lids
- Installations requiring extra mounting offset or clearance
⚠️ For standard flat-panel lids or minimal internal clearance, a mixed mounting kit (L + Flat brackets) may be more suitable.
💡 Not Sure Which to Choose?
If your chest has a thick-framed lid or requires extra offset → choose 4x L Brackets.
If your lid is flat and standard construction → choose 2x L + 2x Flat Combination.
