Because the slow lowering lid ones are too expensive :-)

Mine got bent on my casket and needed a replacement.

Building a casket and had used them before. Worked very well. Thanks. Lowrey Woodwork.

I am going to build and store my own casket so that will be one less burden for my wife should I pass before she does.
Charles P on Aug 12, 2015
These work well for supporting the heavy lid on the pet casket.

Simple straightforward item to use on my project.

It fit the design of the casket I'm making

I could not find anything like this locally. It was EXACTLY what I was looking for!

Instead of a nightstand I will install hanging boxes along the bedside with french cleats on the wall . I need the lids to stay open when in use.
Ingrid M on Apr 18, 2015
I have used these in the past with good success. Just ordered more. They work well when covered.

James B on Apr 18, 2016
I have a box type lid that weighs 21 lbs. Will one of these supports work for it or will I need two?
AmericanPatriot on Mar 14, 2016
BEST ANSWER: I would recommend two for a lid that heavy. The supports open to a few degrees more than 180 so the balance is what will keep the lid in place. Just beware of the pinch point where the supports come together to "lock". The lid supports do not have any locking mechanism just where the two halves meet at the pinch point.
I see the tech sheet on the opened position layout but what are the measurements for the closed position? Does the center come forward or go backwards to collapse the brace?
TimBo266 on Dec 8, 2015
BEST ANSWER: I installed mine where both ends are equidistant from the apex and where it folds down and to the rear when closed.
Does this lid support lock open?
Paul S on Feb 9, 2016
BEST ANSWER: My son used this lid support to hold open the legs of a child's wooden easel when my toddler grandson kept collapsing it. So it wasn't exactly used as a lid support, but it does the job of holding the easel legs open. To answer your question, it has locked in place for his use.
is this hinge "handed" (right or left), or is it unhanded, and can work on either the right or left side?
Joseph P on Jan 4, 2016
BEST ANSWER: since the legs screw into the holders from either side, it makes no difference at all.
Where are the directions to install?
Margaret S on Jun 7, 2015
BEST ANSWER: I didn't receive any directions, but here's what I did and the lid support and lid work fine. I built a casket. It measures about 27"wide by 43" long and 12" deep. The lid is all oak and is heavy. I supported the lid at about 80 degrees - slightly less than 90 degrees. Placing the lid support in the open or extended position (when closed the hinge point remains at the back of the box), I marked a location for the center of the screw on each end of the support equidistant on the lid and on the box from the corner. I then installed the brackets that the lid support attaches to, centering them on the marks. Attach the brackets, attach the lid support, and it should work as advertised.
Can this support be adapted to attach to a flat lid?
James A on Aug 31, 2015
BEST ANSWER: not normally. Since the support attaches at a right angle to some wooden surface.
I have a 72 inch by 21 inch wide wood fish tank lid. I see these large lid supports but I need information on weight it holds?

Works Just Fine
I bought the lid supports for my son to install on a child's wooden easel. His two year old would push on the easel causing it to collapse on his 4 year old sister on the other side. The lid supports (one on each side) hold it open so he can't do that, thus saving tears and possible injury.

The Lid is Up
Don't know why I didn't install these earlier. They were easy to install and work great. If you need a box lid to stay up these supports will do the trick.

It works for what it is...
It works for what it is made to do. I made a childrens toy chest and it it great because it holds the lid open so the the kids dont have to, but the only thing I dont like is that it slams shut. I would like it better if it closes slowly, but other than that its great.

It's a great product at an...
It's a great product at an even better price! I just needed a simple lid support for a jewelry box I was constructing. This definitely did the trick, and was easy to install. The only downside would be what Michael mentioned! it kind of slams shut when closing, but it stays up real nice the rest of the time.

A few days ago I received plans for a Pet Casket from Rockler. I have made two so far, one from walnut and the other from cypress. There apparently is quite a market for this item.

Solidly built
I ordered a pair to support the lid for my large and very heavy box chest. Because of the weight I used two just to make sure and they went in exceptionally easy. Couldn't be more happy with product or the price.
