SLS-ELAN Left-Hand Lift-Up Stay For Flap Doors

SLS-ELAN left-hand lift-up stay is a medium duty lid support from Sugatsune America designed for upward-opening flap doors, so it supports lift-up cabinet fronts and work surfaces that need controlled motion. The lift-assisted mechanism is built to give extra light-opening action, which reduces effort when raising the door and helps heavier fronts open smoothly in day-to-day use. The door stays in any desired position by opening the door to that position and then letting it go, so the flap can be set at a convenient angle for access without drifting or dropping while you work. A damper equipped mechanism provides soft & silent closing at the end of travel, which slows the final swing down and protects the cabinet and door from hard impacts. The mechanism has a light gray colored housing, so it presents a neutral, clean look inside the cabinet and blends with common interior finishes.

Key Lift-Up Stay Details That Help Your Build

• The lift-assisted mechanism for extra light-opening reduces the force needed to raise an upward-opening flap door, which helps during repeated daily use and supports smoother operation on medium duty fronts.
• The door stays in any desired position once opened to that point and released, which holds the flap steady at working height and supports hands-free access inside the cabinet or work area.
• The damper equipped for soft & silent closing at the end of travel controls the final closing speed, which reduces noise and impact on the cabinet, hinges, and door structure over repeated cycles.
• The slim design with installed location that maximizes space inside of cabinet keeps the mechanism compact near the side, which preserves interior storage volume and keeps the opening area clearer for contents.
• Single or pair use allows a wide range of door size and weight, which lets you match one or two SLS-ELAN-ML units to the flap based on reference data and keep performance within the medium duty range.
• Testing to 40,000 cycles verifies repeated open-and-close performance, which supports long-term function of the lift-up action in normal cabinet service and reduces need for frequent replacement.

Lift-Up Stay Installation And Alignment Details

This Sugatsune America SLS-ELAN-ML lift-assisted stay is designed for simple installation by aligning the body to the edge of the cabinet, so layout is based on the case side rather than complex reference points. The upward-opening flap door design means the mechanism works with doors that pivot from the top and swing up, so the geometry supports overhead access on wall cabinets or similar frames. The slim body and its installed location that maximizes space inside of cabinet place the hardware close to the interior wall, which helps keep shelves and stored items usable without large clearance cutouts. The option for single or pair use allows a wide range of door size and weight, so installers can reference door dimensions and mass when deciding whether to mount one unit or two for balanced lift support.

Using This Medium Duty Easy Lift-Up Stay On Jobs

Where This Left-Hand Lift-Up Stay Works Best

The SLS-ELAN left-hand medium duty easy lift-up stay is described for upward-opening flap doors, so it fits projects where the front panel swings upward for access. In wall cabinets or overhead storage, lift-assisted mechanism for extra light-opening reduces lifting force, which is useful when the flap is above shoulder height and would otherwise be tiring to raise. Because the door stays in any desired position by opening the door to position and then letting it go, it suits workstations or shop cabinets where the flap also serves as a partial shield while staying out of the way. The slim design and installed location that maximizes space inside of cabinet leave more clear area for shelving or bins, which supports using existing cabinet depths without major adjustments. The light gray colored housing keeps the hardware visually unobtrusive, which aligns with clean interior layouts in both residential and commercial millwork.

Why These Lift-Assisted Details Support Consistent Results

The lift-assisted mechanism for extra light-opening not only reduces effort during operation but also supports predictable motion, which helps doors start their travel smoothly and reduces sudden jerks on hinges. The damper equipped for soft & silent closing at the end cushions the final closing, which limits stress on mounting points and helps the flap settle against stops in a controlled way. Because the door stays in any desired position by opening and then letting it go, installers can set the balance so the flap holds at common working angles, which supports repeatable setups across multiple cabinets in a run. Single or pair use allowing a wide range of door size and weight offers flexibility across different cabinet widths on the same job, which lets the same SLS-ELAN-ML part number serve various openings within its medium duty range. Testing to 40,000 cycles confirms the motion components have been exercised repeatedly, which supports confidence in performance for frequently used cabinets in kitchens, shops, or commercial casework.
