Cabinet Lid Stay with Guide Slot Nickel Plated Right Handed

Have fitted them and they do the job. Simple and easy to use. But ndo not come with guidnace on positioning so takes a bit of care and trial to get the positioning right

I was immediately impressed by the lovely finish of the metal, and it seems well made. I had limited space behind the sliders in the purpose I wanted it for, so did a mock up first to trace the closing arc. This helped me get the position right first time on the drop down flap of the "Bureau" i had made. The only difference in handedness seems to be the locking notch in the slide, which didn't concern me. A first-class, very good value product which I recommend. Thanks to all.

It's a milk tinny and I had to refer to a level physics to figure ot the best mountain placing However, all said and done it works well. And a squirt of wd40 will need all the attention needed.

It does its job OK. Quite a lot of slack at the joints so installation does not have to be super accurate. No instructions supplied. I did a trial fit using blutack to get the position correct. The supplied screws have rather fat heads, such that even when fully inserted the head remain a little raised - no problem for the angled fixing, but on the plain rectangular plate the screw heads can foul the strut. I found that installing the rectangular plate at 90 degrees to the strut when in the open position worked best (or you could use screws will a less fat head).

This seemed like a good idea, but for my very competent DIY hubby, was impossible to install. He even tried mounting it to a temp section of wood but couldn't get the angle right in order for it to operate. Ended up falling apart! so he drove to B&Q to buy one like he should have in the first place!
