Wixroyd Soft Closing Stay - N0350
What is...
For use with lids which are upward opening, with piano or butt hinges. Longer arm for higher load bearing capacity applications. Designed to control speed at which a suitable lid closes and hence prevent lid slamming shut. Opening angle of 80° to 100°. Temperature range of 0° to 40°C.
Stay has integrated catch to hold lid in open and closed position and has a sprung elbow section which must be released prior to closing lid. Please take care not to catch fingers when handling.
Installation
Soft Opening Stay installation
| Hinge type | a | b1 | c1 | d1 | b1 | c2 | d2 |
| Drop hinge | 99 | 98 - S* | 114 - S* | 200 - S* | - | - | - |
| Piano/butt hinge | 93 | - | - | - | 92 | 108 | 194 |
The distance for a, b, c (as shown in the installation diagram above) is measured from the “door edge (*)” and “top surface of bottom board” when drop hinges are used; and from “hinge centre (**)” and “to the surface of the bottom board” when piano or butt hinges are used.

Technical Specs
Acceptable lid width and height
Orange area of chart provides guide to acceptable lid width and height combination. This is a guide only, check load bearing of the lid application. Chart Based on typical wooden lid of 20mm thickness.
Load bearing calculation
First check 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 lightweight 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.
