Installation Guidance
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.
Install as a left and right pair, mount the lid-side fixing closer to the hinge zone, and ensure the strut is not fully relaxed in the closed position.
- 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
Where It Works Best
Suitable applications include hinged storage chests, toy boxes, ottoman-style lids, workshop boxes and other lift-up panels that benefit from softer movement.
- Storage chest lids
- Toy box lids
- Bench storage lids
- Furniture or utility box lids
Fitting Advice
Compatibility note: correct performance depends on lid-only weight, hinge placement and fitting geometry. Do not include stored contents when choosing force.
This 400mm 200N 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.
