Thank you for watching. We put a lot of effort to make sure our instruction was clear and was easy to understand.

Thanks for taking your personal time to provide us with quality instructions and your link to the instructions. Shame on the manufacturer for not including these with the purchase. Whoever heard of "we'll send you the instructions in an email in a couple of weeks". GMAFB

Thanks for the video, just what I needed, especially the min/max weight of the Stays. Which type of hinge were you using?

I am using the Sugatsune hinge SDS-C301N Here is a link to my Amazon shop for the hinge amzn.to/3bi2l5e So hinges do not come with clear instructions. Here is the US version of the hinge instructions. Hinge Install Instructions www.thegarageengineer.com/plans Good luck and thanks for watching.

I got the "japanese" style instructions that were so unbelievably confusing for my simpleton brain lmao. Pictures of the parts all separate with various degree numbers pointing to each part and "engrish" directions. This video was invaluae

Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching. I hope it helps you for your project.

Really great video and easy to understand, Sugatsune have now a new lid stay that can be installed on hinges and takes less space when closed, the ARN or AILERON stay, this might help you for future furniture with shallow containers

Great video you are a life saver, your video made for a stress free installation 👍

Oh my gosh you do beautiful work!! I just watched the first video ... have been looking for a stay gas strut kind of hinge for my heirloom hope chest lid which is a bit heavier and SLAMS down and won't stay up. Want to use this as a storage coffee table, and adding casters to the bottom as well (maybe you have a video for that as well? Hint!!) ... THIS is what I had hoped for ... Thank you! Am subscribing!!

Awesome. If lid is too heavy you might need 2 struts. There is a weight limit per strut. Info is listed in the instructions. Thanks for watching.

I have the: SDS-210 for a Top opening door. Will this work on a cabinet Overlay door with Compact hinges ??

Do you have the link for the two hinges used for the trunk?

Can I use those Hinges instead of the Sugatsune NSDX-35 for an Upswing Cabinet door ?

I would rather use a other hinge system than making extra ugly holes.

But I love the smooth closing action

Why is he calling it a hinge when it is actually a lid stay?
