table apron drop leaf support, 12 inch L from Selby Furniture Hardware is designed as table hardware for supporting work surfaces and tables where a leaf needs to lock solidly in the open position. The 12 inch open length measured rivet-to-rivet fits layouts planned around that specific support span, which helps with consistent apron and leaf sizing. As part of the work surface and tables category, this support focuses on reinforcing hinged leaves on table aprons. The manufacturer classifies it as table hardware, so it is intended to function as a structural support component rather than decorative trim. Identifying it by manufacturer part SDLS112U gives installers a repeatable reference when matching parts across jobs or specifying the same support again. This part is sold in full box quantity only, which suits shop workflows that standardize on one style of drop leaf support across multiple builds.
This 12 inch drop leaf support defines its open reach from rivet-to-rivet, which lets fabricators design apron and leaf spacing around a known operating length. The heavy gauge steel construction keeps the linkage geometry stable over that span, supporting alignment between the main table top and the leaf when opened. Because the support is spring-loaded, the opening action ends in a firm, tensioned position, which helps the leaf register in the same spot each time. The rigid support characteristic helps the leaf act as a continuation of the main top rather than a flexible extension. Installers working with repeat jobs can rely on the SDLS112U designation and 12 inch length when planning drilling patterns and clearances around the apron.
This Selby table apron drop leaf support is part of the work surface and tables category, so it is oriented to table apron situations where a hinged leaf must carry real use. The 12 inch open length rivet-to-rivet suits leaves that need a moderate projection from the main top, giving the leaf enough reach without extending too far beyond typical table footprints. Heavy gauge steel helps the support behave predictably when the leaf is loaded in normal work conditions, because the components are designed to resist twisting across that 12 inch span. The spring-loaded design means the support engages as the leaf reaches its open position, creating a defined stop that supports repeatable positioning across multiple open-and-close cycles on the same job.
The spring-loaded mechanism on this drop leaf hardware provides rigid support for raised leaves, which means once the spring reaches its tension point, the leaf is held firmly rather than floating. For security, the design prevents closing until the spring-tension is relieved by pulling on the release ring, so the leaf stays in place until someone intentionally triggers the release. That controlled release is valuable on work surfaces where a sudden drop could disturb workpieces or tools resting on the leaf. Because the opening length is defined as 6, 8, 10, or 12 inch options, with this version at 12 inches rivet-to-rivet, shops can standardize project drawings by matching apron depth and hinge placement to the chosen length. Identifying this unit as manufacturer part SDLS112U simplifies reordering and coordination across purchasing and the shop floor when the same drop leaf action is required on multiple tables.
The 12 inch open length on this support is measured rivet-to-rivet, so it defines the active support span and helps with setting apron depth and hinge position on the table leaf.
The spring-loaded action in this support holds the leaf firmly in its open position, so the leaf settles into a defined stop and stays more stable during normal use.
This drop leaf support prevents closing until spring-tension is relieved by pulling on the release ring, so the leaf remains supported until the release is deliberately pulled.
The heavy gauge steel construction helps the support resist flexing under typical loads, which helps raised leaves stay rigid and closer to level with the main table surface.
The release ring on this support is pulled to relieve spring-tension, allowing the leaf to close, so it serves as the control point for intentionally lowering the leaf.
The full product identity is Selby Furniture Hardware table apron drop leaf support, 12 inch L, manufacturer part SDLS112U, allowing consistent reference for future jobs.
The SDLS112U table apron drop leaf support ties together heavy gauge steel construction, spring-loaded action, and a defined 12 inch rivet-to-rivet open length, so it serves projects needing rigid support for raised leaves. For work surfaces and tables that rely on a positive open position and a controlled release using the ring, this Selby Furniture Hardware unit offers a clearly defined function backed by specific measurements and mechanism behavior. When a run of tables must share the same drop leaf feel and geometry, standardizing on this exact table apron drop leaf support simplifies layout, shop communication, and repeat builds.
