Lid Support Hinge With Soft Close - Toy Box Hinge Supports Drop Lids of Cabinets Kitchen - 40lb/2pcs

I received my first set. I was initially impressed by the quality. The hinge itself is heavy and seemingly well built, however what attaches the hinge to the cabinet is a metal bracket with a plastic bushing. The plastic was trash. They clearly know this because they toss a couple more in your bag. They are brittle (wrong plastic composition). So installing all of the bushings broke. I did an exchange and the second set I received were better, not 1 broke. I'm still nervous about the longevity but at the moment I'm happy. If they fix the plastic components to a better plastic I would give 5 stars but I cant do that with that known product flaw. I am happy with the customer service and not upset with what I got now that it's working.

These work very good. I use them on a chest very sturdy and adjustable to me. The directions were a little confusing, but overall I like the product.

I would like to start by saying that I was able to successfully install my hinges and the product works fairly well; however, I firmly believe that this product should be recalled because if it is installed according to the instructions, it poses an extreme danger. (Hence why I gave it two stars)Pros:- Product is sturdy and well-made- When installed correctly, the "slow-close" feature works fairly wellCons:- Instructions are HORRIBLE (useless, really) with grainy pictures, confusing dimensions, and little support- Using the dimensions provided in the instructions led to originally incorrect installation (slammed shut)- Unless installed PERFECTLY, the slow-close feature will NOT workAs I stated previously, I would imagine that MOST installations will be done incorrectly, which means that your slow-close will not work properly and could pose a serious danger. I would highly recommend that this product be removed from Amazon until the manufacturer can provide proper, easy-to-follow instructions.If you did/do buy this product, here's a few tips to ensure that you installation won't sever any fingers:1 - When your lid is fully closed, both of the mounting centers should be in-line (the same distance)2 - If your lid does not close completely, that means you need to move your base mount in closer and your lid mount out further3 - If your lid SLAMS shut, that means you need to move your base mount further out and your lid mount in closer

I have two chests that I wanted to make slow-close lids. The first is a large, heavy lid. After realizing that the instructions were not accurate due to it using normal hinges instead of the type they assume, I was able to get it installed and mostly working. It will stay open and start closing slowly but quickly speeds up and still slams (despite me having it extra tight). The second chest I had to go through some modifications to even fit the hinge. Once I did, the first try closing it and the hardware holding the top bent and broke despite this lid being MUCH lighter then the first! The hinge is now completely useless and I don't really trust it working with just one hinge.Overall, you get what you pay for. The first chest I did works but it still will not save any kids fingers once it starts closing. The second was just a complete and utter failure! Move on - find something else!

It took me a minute to get it mounted properly, since literally my rabbits ate 1/2 of the instructions but it works great and keeps my desk cabinet door up until I am finished getting my supplies out.
