Lid Stays

What is...

Lid stays are hardware components used to support and control the movement of lids on various items such as cabinets, chests, or furniture. They are designed to hold the lid in a specific position, whether open or closed, and prevent it from slamming shut.

Key features:

- provide support to keep lids open at different angles - this allows for convenient access to the contents of a container or piece of furniture without the lid falling closed
- often incorporate features like damping mechanisms or soft-close functionality to prevent lids from closing too quickly or slamming shut - this enhances safety and reduces wear and tear on the lid and its hinges
-some are adjustable - allowing you to set the opening angle of the lid according to your preference or the design of the furniture
- certain lid stays are designed for concealed installation - providing a clean and streamlined look to the furniture

Lid stays are essential for both functional and aesthetic purposes, ensuring smooth and controlled movement of lids while enhancing the usability and longevity of furniture pieces like cabinets, chests, and boxes.
