What we have come to expect from many everyday objects is a smooth, controlled function – when things aren’t we tend to notice even more. Doors that slam or fall open give a poor user impression as well as being possibly dangerous or harmful in an application.
The technical challenge of controlling this motion can, at first, appear a tricky one to resolve for design engineers, but the reality is these sorts of challenges are easily overcome using soft opening and soft closing stays from Wixroyd.
Wixroyd soft down stays provide smooth opening and closing systems for lids, cabinet doors, swing doors and toolbox or storage lids, with the added benefit of eliminating the loud bangs of doors and lids slamming shut.
Wixroyd soft down stays soften and control downward motion, either to open or close the lid, via an integrated dampening device, typically a viscous liquid, normally oil-based, forced through a reducing aperture the resistance of which gently lowers lids and door into either its final open or closed position.
