Technical Specs
Acceptable lid width and height
Areas of chart provides guides to acceptable lid width and height combination. This is a guide only; check load bearing of the lid application. Chart based on a typical wooden lid of 20mm thickness.
Load bearing calculation
First check the lid size is within acceptable lid width/height combination - see above chart. Secondly, check load bearing and value.
Check load bearing value (T)
T (load bearing value of stay Kg/cm) = 1/2 door height cm x door weight Kg
General Guidance
Important notes: For use with relatively light weight cabinet or furniture lids. Improper application, or use on a lid not within recommended size and bearing value, may lead to stay being overcome and slamming of lid. Application must be within both the minimum and maximum load bearing value of the stay, (see product table for load bearing capacity when using stays as single or in pairs), as well as within the door weight capacity of the stay. See ‘Soft Down Stays - Door Weight Range Tables’ on previous pages.
