Lid Stay, Adjustable, Automatic Opening, K12

Product Details

Will this lid stay work with a wooden flap or an aluminium framed flap?

Yes. The K12 Adj Auto Lid Stay 164 mm 100 N is designed for stay flaps made from wood or flaps with an aluminium frame, helping the lid open smoothly and hold safely at the set position.

What cabinet or lid sizes is the 164 mm length suitable for?

It is intended for cabinet heights of 200 to 600 mm and supports lid weights of up to 13.5 kg. If you are close to the maximum, it is best to confirm with a trial fit or consider a stronger option.

How strong is the gas spring and what does 100 N mean in practice?

100 N is the spring force, which is the pressure strength that counterbalances the lid. Choosing the right force helps reduce lifting effort and prevents the flap from feeling too heavy to open or too light to stay controlled.

Can I fine tune the fit after installation?

Yes. This model includes an adjustment facility with ±3 mm travel using the adjusting wheel. This helps you align the lid stay properly once the brackets are mounted.

What opening angle can I expect from this lid stay?

The lid opening angle is 90 degrees. This makes it suitable for cabinets where a right angle opening is needed for comfortable access and practical use.

How is it installed and what fixing system does it use?

It is designed for screw fixing into 32 mm series drilled holes, using the included mounting bracket and fixings. It is suitable for screw fixing into the bracket or plug fitting, depending on your cabinet build.

Is the grey silver finish going to match typical cabinet interiors and exteriors?

It comes in a grey silver coloured finish with silver grey components. This is a common choice for furniture and cabinetry hardware and can blend neatly with many modern cabinet styles.

What should I do if my cabinet has threshold values or if I am unsure about weight?

If you are near the upper end of the recommended lid weight or height, use a stronger version. The fitting note also recommends trial mounting, so you can check comfort and performance before fully committing to the final position.
