How to Install
This mixed bracket layout gives better fitting flexibility where the box side needs offset support and the lid underside benefits from a lower profile mount.
Balanced installation is important: one strut per side, upper fixing near the hinge zone, and enough preload in the closed position for stable operation.
- Install one strut on each side of the lid
- Check both sides are mounted evenly for balanced lift support
- Confirm the lid closes with slight compression remaining in the strut
Suitable Uses
This type of soft close support is often chosen for storage furniture, toy boxes, hinged chest lids, tool storage and similar box-lid applications.
- Storage chest lids
- Toy box lids
- Bench storage lids
- Furniture or utility box lids
Important Compatibility Note
Compatibility note: final performance is affected by leverage and mounting layout, so always size the strut to the lid only rather than the load stored inside.
This 200mm 100N configuration is intended for customers who need a soft close lid support solution matched to the correct lid size and force range for UK use.
