    To eliminate slamming and smashed fingers, these supports automatically pull lids shut when they approach the closed position. Raise the lid until the hold-open mechanism on the support is engaged; slightly lift it again to release the hold and close the lid. These supports can be used individually but should be used in pairs for lids longer than 24". Mounting position is determined as you look into your cabinet or chest.
    All of these supports are rated for torque instead of maximum lid weight. Calculate your lid's torque and make sure it falls within the range listed—too much torque will cause your lid to slam; too little will prevent it from closing. Torque = Lid Height (inches) × 0.5 × Lid Weight (lbs.).
    Reversible Mount—Reversible mount supports are for right-side or left-side mounting positions.
    Side Mount, Opens Up—Supports for lids that open up from the side are often used in overhead installations.
    Top Mount, Opens Up—Supports for lids that open up from the top are often used on crates, hatches, and tool chests.
    Holds Lid Closed—Supports that hold lid closed are designed to hold lids in the closed position.
    Does Not Hold Lid Closed—Supports that do not hold lid closed require a latch or lock (not included) to secure lids in a closed position.
    Speed Adjustment Screw—Supports with a speed adjustment screw allow you to control their closing speed.
