heavy spring loaded lid stay from Sugatsune America uses a spring mechanism that assists lifting a door and holds it in the open position, so lift-up lids or doors move more easily and stay where they are needed during work. As a side-mount lid support in the lid supports and stays class, it works on work surfaces and tables where the door or lid must open upward and remain open while tools, materials, or components are accessed. The design can be installed individually or in pairs, so the installer can match the lift assistance and holding strength to the size and torque demand of the specific lid. With a maximum torque rating of 104 lb/in, this spring lid stay supports heavier applications within that range in woodworking or cabinet projects.
This Sugatsune S-AT02 spring lid stay is designed as a side mount component, so it aligns along the side of the cabinet or work surface structure rather than the top or bottom edge. The mounting center-to-center dimension of 3/4 inch defines the spacing between its mounting points, which guides drilling or layout when preparing the side panel for the stay. Because it can be installed individually or in pairs, one or two units can be positioned along the sides of the lid assembly, allowing torque assistance to be distributed as needed. The 80 degree hold open angle provides a known target when positioning the stay so the open door clears adjacent structures in the work area.
This heavy spring loaded lid stay is part of the work surface and tables lift systems, lid supports and stays category, so it suits lift-up lids on benches, tables, or similar structures that need repeated access. As a lid support, it is intended for doors that open upward and then remain open, so users can work beneath the open panel without holding the door. The side mount configuration places the stay along the side of the cabinet or frame, which suits constructions where side panels provide mounting real estate. In lid supports and stays applications, this layout keeps the stay clear of the main access opening, contributing to an unobstructed reach under the open lid.
The maximum torque rating of 104 lb/in defines the counterbalancing capability of the S-AT02, so the installer can align lid design and hardware selection to stay within that operating range for consistent motion. The spring mechanism that assists lifting the door directly reduces the effort needed to initiate upward travel, which helps keep lid operation predictable across repeated openings in daily use. Once open, the lid stay holds the door at an 80 degree hold open angle, providing a repeatable stop position that helps standardize clearances around backsplashes, walls, or adjacent cabinets. Because the product can be installed individually or in pairs, the torque assistance can be scaled so larger lids still open to the intended 80 degree position. The side mount layout and 3/4 inch mounting center-to-center dimension create a defined mechanical geometry, which supports consistent alignment from job to job when the same part number is used.
The heavy spring loaded lid stay supports lift-up doors or lids, using a spring mechanism that assists lifting and then holds the door in the open position for access.
The 104 lb/in maximum torque defines the upper torque this stay is designed to counteract, guiding lid size and weight selection for stable opening and holding performance.
The Sugatsune S-AT02 lid stay can be installed individually, so a single stay can support lids whose torque demand falls within its specified range.
Two S-AT02 lid stays can be installed in pairs when a larger or heavier lid requires additional spring assistance and holding force within the 104 lb/in torque rating.
Side mount installation means the lid stay attaches along the side of the cabinet or work surface structure, aligning the mechanism parallel to the side panel.
The 80 degree hold open angle sets the approximate open position, so the lid repeatedly stops at a consistent angle that keeps the opening accessible.
The Sugatsune America heavy spring loaded lid stay S-AT02 provides side mount support with a spring mechanism that assists lifting and then holds the lid open at about 80 degrees. With a maximum torque rating of 104 lb/in and the option to install individually or in pairs, it serves lift-up lids on work surfaces and tables that need repeatable opening behavior. For projects that call for a defined hold open angle and spring-assisted lifting within the rated torque range, this S-AT02 lid support offers a consistent hardware choice from Wurth Baer Supply.
