DOUPER Lid Stay Tension Adjustable Lid Support Hinge for Top-Upward Opening Kitchen Cabinets Maximum Bearing Capacity 40lbs/2pcs

Plastic clip on one hinge was broken but order immediately refunded by Amazon. Replacement order was good and works well

Not suitable for toy chest. Delivered quickly, well built and sturdy but not as advertised. If using on a toy chest, it works well but only as a lid stay / lid stop. Will hold lid at whatever angle to need until it gets to within 6”-8” of closed. At that point all the tension drops off and the lid slams shut. Would be great for holding open high level cupboard door or tool chest for adult use but only use on toy chest if you fancy a trip with your little one to A&E for broken fingers.

I bought these hinges for a couple of toy boxes that i was making for my grandchildren. I wanted some form of safety on the lids as they were quite large boxes. when i first got the hinges I struggled to understand the fitting instructions and found the diagrams to be a little unclear. However, the sellers attached a set of different fitting instruction sto an email they sent me and these made a lot more sense. The hinges themselves work well and I have set them up so the lids open 90 degrees. They lock at this and you have to push the elbow og the hinge to close it so this works well with small children. The 'brake' is easily adjusted using the allen key and seems to work very well. All in all pleased with the product.

Bought these to hold up a 10kg old style desk lid - they can manage when locked out, but then they don't fold down well. Anywhere between being just open and fully locked out they just can't take it - the adjustment is screwed right down to the strongest hold setting and the lid drifts down under its own weight.The hold isn't consistent through the range of motion - at full extension it basically works like a stick, and you have to push middle of the hinge to make it buckle. When about half open it holds some weight, and when only just open it holds practically nothing.Feels well made and comes well packaged with all the fixings, so great if you have a lightweight application.Now - do I find another product or double up on these?

Reasonably well made and prompt service but the instructions?! Don’t bother with the poor translation just do your own thing. I got the soft close working in the correct direction for my box lid, opened the stay and lid to the desired angle and then fitted it to box and lid. Even the diagram on Amazon’s website would have had the stay close before the lid was closed. The stay holds the lid open, needs force to begin closure and is not a soft close for the last 20cm. I would not buy this product again.

This Douper soft close door stay is REVERSIBLE, which means that you can use it to gently open a drop down door flap.I have 4 such doors in my touring caravan and without this clever device there was a real risk of bruised or even broken toes as the door flaps are merely hinged. With these soft OPEN stays fitted the problem is completely solved.Fitting the Douper stay is really easy - only basic DIY skills and tools required.They come complete with fixing screws and the all important hex key to adjust the tension and the Satin Nickel coating adds the finishing touch of class.

Purchased for a kids toy chest, lid opens upwards. Instructions were ok, could easily print a basic template on the other side of them to assist with marking holes. Measurements in mm would also be nice. Installation was ok until attaching the arms the brackets. They are designed to be interference fit with each other and retained with a small moulded clip. Ok in theory but not in practice. I'm not a small bloke and I struggled to push them home far enough to properly engage and even when I thought I had the clips didn't hold and the arm came off after a few cycles. After much faffing one of the clips broke. During those few cycles of the lid it became apparent that over the last few inches of travel they also allowed the lid to slam. Tightening the mechanism just meant it was almost impossible to shut. Definitely not suitable for a kids toy box or ottoman even if you can overcome the design / manufacturing issue of mounting the arms to the bracket. Others have said the same so I'm kicking myself now. Waste of time and effort.

If you have existing screw holes, you might be able to reuse them by rotating the mounting bracket as I have done. Another strong point is the metal is not a base metal casting and should be strong enough for most applications. I was happy to find something that fit this custom cabinet and it was not expensive.

Worked great for the toy box my husband built for our daughters. Keeps the heavy solid wood lid up and locked into place and eases shut so no worries about them hitting their head or pinched fingers. My husband said the installation instructions were easy to follow. Great product

Ottime cerniere soprattutto per i mobili in truciolare (cucine) a differenza dei pistoncini non applica nessuna pressione/forza all'attacco viti sia in chiusura sia in apertura.La regolazione della frizione per mezzo della brugola in dotazione permette l'apertura anche non completa.

I have returned the item (we tried two separate packages, two different people installing it). Each time, the plastic clip to keep the hinge on the bracket would snap off. super cheap quality but an expensive price! instructions could be better. When we reached out, the seller sent a replacement very quickly. The toy trunk lid is under the weight max for the hinge (as per the amazon description) - but it still was faulty. I would not keep this item as I fear someone getting hurt by the lid falling down/off unexpectedly.

Not a soft-close support, and the sellers should remove that phrase from the product title. I bought this for a pair of upward opening cabinet doors, so that's not an issue for me. They provide plenty of support for that (one on each door), and work well with regular soft-close hinges.As many have mentioned, the instructions are useless and in a couple cases flat out wrong. But anybody with reasonable handiness can sort that out. More critical are that the plastic shims and bushings that the arms fit on are also useless. The tabs don't actually snap into the grooves in a way that hold the arms in place. Even if they did do that now, I am not convinced those would last. The arms separate from the pivots after just a couple of open/closes. Seems like a screw attachment like a couple other companies provide would be more robust. I'm going to epoxy the arms onto the plastic shims which may work for a few years (or forever if I do it well). But nobody should expect these things to hold up or work out the box. Other companies offer the same thing for less, with a screw to hold the arms on.

One of the two hinges from the set is defective. When ever closing the lid one of them always every time pops off of the pivot knuckle. Other then that they are good.
