Wurth PRO Drop Stay is a heavy duty lid stay designed to control the downward motion of lids on work surfaces, tables, or similar applications, so lids close in a managed way instead of dropping abruptly. This PRO Drop Stay is screw-mounted, creating a fixed, mechanical connection between the stay and the cabinet or casework, which helps keep the lid motion consistent over time. The stay provides adjustable braking action, so the installer can tune how quickly the lid moves through its travel, matching the feel to the specific project and user. With an 8 lb load capacity, the stay is intended for lids in that weight range, so the braking function operates as designed for that load. The design is non-handed and works on both right and left hand applications, giving flexibility in layout and reducing product variation on the job.
This PRO Drop Stay is described as screw-mounted, so it installs by fastening the stay body to the cabinet and lid with screws at the designed mounting points, creating a stable attachment for the braking mechanism. The minimum cabinet height of 15-1/2 inches relates directly to installation layout, because that dimension gives the stay enough room to move through its arc as the lid drops. The non-handed design means the same installation principles apply whether the stay is used on the right or left side of the opening, which simplifies layout drawings and reduces the need to track separate left and right parts during installation work.
This PRO Drop Stay is classified under lid supports and stays and down stays, so it is suited to applications where a lid moves downward and needs controlled motion rather than free fall. In work surface and table projects, this makes it useful where a lid or flap is part of a storage compartment or worktop extension that swings down. The 8 lb load capacity aligns the stay with lighter lids, such as smaller cabinet lids or modest work surface panels, so the braking function can manage motion within that load range. The requirement for a 15-1/2 inch minimum cabinet height means the product is intended for casework or enclosures that provide that vertical space, keeping the motion path clear for the stay. Because the stay functions in both right and left hand applications, the same component can be planned for either side of a cabinet, which helps standardize the hardware selection across a run of similar casework.
The adjustable braking action on the PRO Drop Stay directly affects how the lid behaves during closing, since braking resistance can be tuned to slow or moderate the drop according to lid size and user preference. In practice, that adjustment helps align lid motion with the overall design intent, such as creating a smoother movement on a work surface lid that will be used frequently. The screw-mounted attachment supports that performance by maintaining a consistent pivot geometry, so the braking mechanism operates as designed over repeated cycles. The nickel-plated finish contributes to the stay's appearance where hardware is visible when the lid is open, tying in with common nickel-toned hinges or other cabinet components. Within lid supports and stays applications, combining adjustable braking, defined 8 lb load capacity, non-handed function, and nickel-plated finish gives a practical set of characteristics for managing downward lid motion in smaller work surfaces and table-related casework.
The Wurth PRO Drop Stay is classified as a heavy duty lid stay and down stay, so it suits downward-moving lids on work surfaces, tables, or similar cabinet projects needing controlled lid motion.
The adjustable braking action on the PRO Drop Stay lets the installer set how much resistance the lid feels as it drops, so closing speed and feel can be matched to the lid size and use.
The PRO Drop Stay has an 8 lb load capacity, which aligns it with lighter lids where the braking and support are designed to manage motion within that approximate weight range.
The 15-1/2 inch minimum cabinet height provides the space the PRO Drop Stay needs to move through its arc, so the lid can travel without the stay binding during operation.
The PRO Drop Stay is non-handed and works on both right and left hand applications, so one part number can serve either side in symmetric cabinet layouts.
The nickel-plated finish on the PRO Drop Stay provides a metallic look that pairs with common cabinet hardware finishes while protecting the surface in normal indoor woodworking environments.
The Wurth PRO Drop Stay with adjustable braking, 8 lb load capacity, and 15-1/2 inch minimum cabinet height ties directly to lid size, case height, and motion control requirements in a project. Its non-handed function streamlines planning across right and left hand layouts, while the nickel-plated finish aligns with typical cabinet hardware choices. For work surface, table, or similar lid-support applications that match these parameters, this down stay offers a defined set of characteristics to build into your next layout.
