Hinges and Hardware 101 - Folding Lid Supports

Are you looking for an alternative to a gas spring for keeping doors and lids open?  Folding lid supports are a different way to achieve this. While they don't help lift the lid or door, they can lock into place and keep it from closing until the user wants it to close. Some have a positive locking system button as shown so you don't have to worry about it closing by accident.  Most are available in a left or right hand version depending on the side you're looking to mount it on. Some are also available with an angled foot piece for ease in mounting to different surfaces. Guden offers styles in plated steel and in stainless steel, and in a variety of sizes.  Click here for the entire offering.
