Fit one strut to each side, place the upper fixing around 20–30% from the hinge line, and keep slight compression when closed to maintain preload.
- Install one strut on each side of the lid
- Check that both sides are mounted evenly for balanced lift support
- Confirm the lid closes with slight compression remaining in the strut
Application Guidance
Typical applications include toy boxes, storage chests, bench seats with storage, tool boxes and furniture lids where controlled movement matters.
- Storage chest lids
- Toy box lids
- Bench storage lids
- Furniture or utility box lids
