Hinge and lid support — all in one!

Similar to hinges in laptop computers, these heavy-duty cast-zinc hinges allow virtually any size lid to open smoothly, hold its position, and then easily close — all with little effort and no additional hardware! Now available in two attractive finishes, Satin Nickel and Rustic Bronze, to complement any project — from chests, to boxes, to storage units, and more! Designed to fit 3/4" thick stock. Screws included.

How many hinges do you need? Use the Torsion Calculator to help determine your ideal hinge combination.

These hinges feature an innovative torsion mechanism that is tested to 25,000 cycles to assure a long working life.
How many hinges do you need?
Use our Torsion Calculator or the formula below to help determine your optimal configuration.

(lid depth (Fig. 1) x lid weight in pounds) ÷ 2 = Inch-lbs. of support

For best results, choose a combination of hinges that provides as close to your lid's required support as possible (eg. if the formula returned 125 you would use two 60 inch-pound hinges). Hinges are available in 40 and 60 inch-pound ratings.
Note: If three or more hinges are required, the support-capacity of the outside hinges must be the same. Also, the hinge configuration should be symmetrical.

Installation instructions

  • Step 1: Attach hinge to lid with 3/4" screws (included). For the lid to be flush with the back of the box, the top of the hinge should be 1- 9/16" from the back edge of the lid. To create an overlay, increase the 1-9/16" dimension by the desired amount of overhang.
    Note: Our Lid-Stay Torsion Hinge JIG IT® (23625) lets you to attach the hinge to the lid in seconds, and requires no measuring. Works great for both flush and overlay applications. Fig. 2.
  • Step 2: With all hinges attached to the lid, position the lid on the back of the box. Complete the installation using 1" and 3/4" screws as shown in the illustration. Fig. 3.

Well made and of high quality. Easy to install and added nicely to the final piece. I have used these in both flush mount and offset mount with out any difficulties. Give them a try I'm sure you will like them.

I built a blanket chest for my daughter and it was made out of 3/4 stock so the lid weighs 14.75 pounds. This could make for very sore fingers it it closed uncontrolled. The online calculator said I would need a 40 pound hinge and two 60 pound hinges. I am totally satisfied with the way the lid stays in any position and will not under any circumstances fall and trap small fingers

Two 60# and one 40# hinge in the middle support a 48" x 22" lid of 3/4" plywood quite well on a large toy chest made for my five year old grand-daughter's stuffed animals!Lid is easy for her to open and close and stays fixed in any position.

I built a window seat and wanted some hinges that wouldn't be visible and would also allow the lid to stay open without a catch or having to hold it. I got two 40-lb hinges and they work perfectly. Definitely would suggest these to anybody.

I ordered your hinges to attach the lid to a toy box I am building for my great grandson, his first. They work just like they were advertised. I am very pleased. the price was good and they reached me one day early.

Great product for a safe, toy box lid. It does what it is supposed to do, similar to a laptop lid. I did have to reorder one heavier hinge, as I under estimated the lid weight with upolstery and padding included. The ordering process was very easy and was received quickly with regular shipping.
