Lid Supports and Up Stays in this Carlson Capitol Mfg. Company 702LH-GREEN model provide a spring loaded lift mechanism rated from 40 lb to 45 lb, so a matching lid weight and size can be supported without sudden drop. The exclusive cam action in this lid support holds the lid in any position, which helps during access and keeps the work area clear while the lid is raised. This left hand lid support keeps heavy lids from slamming shut, reducing impact on hinges and casework over repeated use. A solid brass enclosure slide guides the motion of the arm, supporting smooth, predictable lifting for chest style or cabinet lids. Cover brackets riveted to the cam tie the moving parts together, so the spring force is transferred consistently through the stroke. High quality springs in this series are available in different tensions for different lid sizes, allowing selection by torque rating for the application.
This 702LH-GREEN lid support is designed for mounting inside of the cabinet opening, so the mechanism works along the interior sidewall rather than outside the case. The 702 RH/LH Series is designed to be mounted to the left or right side of the cabinet, and this left hand version serves the left side position to coordinate with hinge layout. The spring loaded lift mechanism uses a torque rating defined as lid height times lid weight times one half per each support, so installers can select support tension based on the lid dimensions and mass. The 40-45 ft lb range aligns with lids sized to that torque window, which helps provide balanced lift assistance and holding power throughout the lid travel.
The 702LH-GREEN lid support is for mounting inside of cabinet openings, making it suited to chest style lids or upward-opening tops where the hardware must stay within the case profile. The 702 RH/LH Series is designed to be mounted to left or right side of the cabinet, so this left hand unit aligns along the left interior wall while a right hand counterpart can address the opposite side where required. The 40 lb to 45 lb torque rating works with lids whose lid height times lid weight times one half matches that range, so the force profile is tuned to the expected load on storage chests, benches, or cabinet tops. Because the exclusive cam action holds the lid in any position, this support functions well in work areas that demand hands-free access to contents while the lid stays put at intermediate angles.
The spring loaded lift mechanism in this lid support provides assistance throughout opening and closing, so users experience moderated movement instead of abrupt pivoting when handling heavier lids. The solid brass enclosure slide guides the arm through its travel, keeping the motion aligned with the cabinet side and supporting consistent performance over many cycles. Cover brackets riveted to the cam create a fixed relationship between the cam and mounting points, so the cam action can reliably grip the lid position wherever it is stopped. When the torque rating is matched to the lid height and lid weight using the lid height times lid weight times one half guideline, the high quality springs work within their intended range, which helps the support hold the lid top open in any position and keeps heavy lids from slamming shut in daily service.
The 702LH-GREEN lid support is a chest style, spring loaded lift mechanism for mounting inside of cabinet openings, so it suits upward-opening lids on chests or cabinet tops.
The lid support torque rating is defined as lid height times lid weight times one half per each, which ties selection directly to the actual lid dimensions and mass.
The 40-45 ft lb rating addresses lids whose lid height times lid weight times one half falls within that range, so the spring tension matches the lid load.
This left hand lid support is mounted inside of the cabinet opening on the left sidewall, positioning the mechanism along the interior side of the case.
The lid support cam action holds the lid in any position, allowing the lid to remain at intermediate angles for convenient access without drifting.
The solid brass enclosure slide guides the moving arm, promoting smooth, aligned motion and supporting reliable lifting performance over repeated cycles.
The Carlson Capitol Mfg. Company 702LH-GREEN left hand lid support, rated from 40 lb to 45 lb and mounted inside of cabinet openings, gives chest style projects cam controlled, spring assisted lid movement. The exclusive cam action holds the lid in any position while high quality springs are selected by torque rating defined as lid height times lid weight times one half. When the lid characteristics fall within the 40-45 ft lb range, this support helps keep heavy lids from slamming shut and holds the lid top open at the angle needed for access, making it a practical choice for professional woodworking and serious DIY cabinet work.
