No separate hinges are required, these supports act as a hinge and lid support all in one. Springs provide lifting assistance to raise and hold lids open—slightly lift the lid to get it started and the support will do the rest. Manually shut the lids and the supports will hold them in the closed position. All are rated for maximum lid weight—do not exceed the weight listed. They 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.

Side Mount, Opens Up—Supports for lids that open up from the side are often used in overhead installations.
