Heavy spring loaded lid stay from Sugatsune America uses a spring mechanism to assist lifting a door and hold it in the open position, so lids on work surfaces or tables stay put during use rather than drifting closed. This lid support belongs to the Lid Supports and Stays product class, so it is designed specifically to manage lid movement instead of acting as general-purpose hardware. The unit is side-mount, so it fastens along the cabinet or box side wall rather than the top, freeing the underside of the lid for other components. Maximum torque rating is 78 lb, so it supports applications that need stronger assistance when lifting a heavier door, helping reduce effort when opening. The hold open angle is 80 degrees, so lids open to a consistent, repeatable position that keeps access clear while keeping the door short of vertical.
This side mount lid support uses a 3/4 inch mounting center-to-center dimension, so hole locations can be laid out quickly with standard tape or story-stick methods. Because it is mounted to the side, the lid stay runs parallel to the cabinet side, leaving interior bottom space unobstructed for storage or mechanisms. The 80 degree hold open angle sets a predictable stop point, so installers can align adjacent cabinets and tops knowing where the lid will rest. The spring mechanism assists during opening, so once fastened, the hardware carries part of the lift, which is useful on lids that would otherwise feel heavy at full reach.
This Sugatsune America lid support is part of the Work Surface & Tables, Lift Systems, Lid Supports and Stays category, so it is suited to lids on benches, tables, and similar enclosures that need controlled opening. The side-mount layout suits cases and boxes where the interior bottom needs to stay clear, because the hardware sits along the wall instead of under the lid. With maximum torque of 78 lb, this spring loaded lid stay fits jobs where a heavier lid or door needs lift assistance, such as stout work surface covers or thicker lid constructions. The hold open angle of 80 degrees positions the door high enough for access while keeping a consistent profile, useful when multiple lids need to align visually along a run.
The spring mechanism in this heavy spring loaded lid stay assists lifting the door and holds it in the open position, so the hardware both helps start the lift and maintains the lid at its 80 degree hold open angle for hands-free access. The ability to install the stay individually or in pairs gives flexibility: a single unit can support narrower or lighter lids, while using two can distribute load on wider or heavier doors. The specified 78 lb maximum torque provides a clear performance reference, so designers can match the stay to lids that demand stronger support rather than guessing capacity. Because the stay does not work with concealed hinges, it is suited to projects using other hinge types where the linkage can operate without interference. The side-mount format and 3/4 inch mounting center-to-center dimension make it practical to repeat the same setup across multiple cabinets in shop production.
This lid stay is classified under Lid Supports and Stays for Work Surface & Tables, so it is designed for lids or doors on work surfaces, tables, and similar enclosures needing assisted lift and hold open.
The 78 lb maximum torque rating means the stay is suited to heavier lids, so the spring assistance helps lift weightier doors that would feel demanding without mechanical support.
The lid stay is side-mount with a 3/4 inch mounting center-to-center dimension, so mounting holes are laid out on the side wall at that spacing for consistent installation.
The S-AT01 spring lid stay can be installed individually or in pairs, so one unit can support lighter lids, while two can handle wider or heavier doors with better balance.
The lid stay provides a hold open angle of 80 degrees, so the lid opens to a consistent near-upright position that keeps the opening usable and the door out of the work area.
This spring lid stay does not work with concealed hinges, so it is intended for use alongside other hinge types where the mechanisms do not interfere.
The Sugatsune America S-AT01 heavy spring loaded lid stay combines side-mount installation, a 3/4 inch mounting center-to-center layout, and 78 lb maximum torque to support demanding lids with assisted lift. Its 80 degree hold open angle and option to use one or two units give flexibility across different lid widths and weights. For work surfaces, tables, and enclosures that benefit from a spring mechanism to assist lifting the door and hold it open, this lid support from Wurth Baer Supply delivers a defined, repeatable motion profile that suits production or one-off projects.
