Essentra Lid Stay 22.0 mm 5.4 mm 202.0 mm Zinc Plated [27963202002]; 20067816

These Lid Stays are used in furniture and cabinetry to support and restrict the movement of lids found on chests, cabinets, or storage boxes. These lid stays are meant to keep the lid open at a 90-degree angle, allowing for easy access and preventing the lid from shutting accidentally. When the lid is closed, the folding characteristic enables compact storage, making them excellent for space-saving applications.

The primary function is stability and safety when accessing storage unit contents. When the lid is open, the lid stays firmly in place, preventing it from slamming shut and potentially injuring or damaging the user. This function is convenient when the lid must remain open for an extended time, such as while loading or unloading things from a storage chest.

It guarantees durability and strength. It is available in both left and right-hand models and universal mounting versions. It is a less expensive alternative to gas springs and is simple to install and adjust by simply screwing it into position. Typically used in industrial or commercial applications.
