Lid support 45-55 ft lb describes this Carlson Capitol Mfg. Company spring loaded lift mechanism designed for mounting inside of a cabinet opening. The 45 to 55 foot-pound torque range supports heavier chest-style lids so the hardware carries the lifting load instead of the user. A spring loaded design assists lid movement, which helps control opening force on work surfaces and table lids over repeated use. This unit is left hand, matching applications where the support must mount on the left side of the cabinet opening for proper action. As part of the 702 LH/RH Series, it is designed to be mounted to the left or right side of the cabinet when paired appropriately, so installers can match hinge layouts and interior clearances. The lid support is classified under lid supports and stays, aligning with projects that need controlled opening instead of free-swinging lids.
The 702LH-MAROON lid support is designed for mounting inside of a cabinet opening on the left-hand side, so the mechanism works along the interior wall rather than the exterior face. The 702 RH/LH Series is designed to be mounted to left or right side of cabinet, giving layout flexibility when coordinating with hinges and interior dividers. A torque rating is defined as lid height times lid weight times one-half, per each unit, which ties directly to lift performance when specifying for heavy lids. The 45 to 55 foot-pound range sets the working envelope for lid sizes and weights that this spring loaded lift mechanism is built to handle in service.
This Carlson Capitol Mfg. Company lid support is identified as a lid support and stay for work surface and tables, fitting cabinet projects that need controlled lid motion instead of simple hinge action. It mounts inside of cabinet openings, aligning with chests, bench storage, or table lids where an internal mechanism protects exterior styling. The 702LH-MAROON left hand configuration suits layouts where the support must sit on the left interior wall relative to the lid. Because the 702 RH/LH Series is designed to be mounted to left or right side of cabinet, installers can mirror the design across both sides when the lid size and structure call for balanced support. The torque rating formula, lid height times lid weight times one-half per each, links field measurements directly to selection, helping match the 45 to 55 foot-pound range to specific lid designs.
The exclusive cam action that holds the lid in any position directly affects how safely lids operate during everyday use, because it resists slamming and allows the lid to stay exactly where it is opened. By keeping heavy lids from slamming shut, the spring loaded mechanism reduces impact on the cabinet, hinges, and lid structure. A solid brass enclosure slide manages the moving interface, supporting smooth movement each time the lid opens or closes. Cover brackets riveted to the cam bond the structural pieces into a single assembly, which supports alignment under repeated loading. The finish uses a statuary bronze/black oxide color, helping the hardware blend with darker interior finishes when visible while still providing a defined mechanical component. High quality springs available in different tensions for different lid sizes give designers a way to select appropriate lift assistance for a wide range of lid applications.
The 702LH-MAROON lid support is in the lid supports and stays class for work surface and tables, so it serves cabinet, chest, or table lids needing controlled opening support.
The torque rating is defined as lid height times lid weight times one-half per each, so installers can relate actual lid dimensions and mass directly to the 45 to 55 foot-pound range.
The 702LH-MAROON is for mounting inside of the cabinet opening on the left-hand side, keeping the mechanism inside the case while supporting the lid.
The spring loaded lift mechanism and exclusive cam action keep heavy lids from slamming shut by holding the lid in any position once opened.
The exclusive cam action holds the lid in any position, so users can leave the lid partially or fully open as needed without sudden movement while working.
This lid support uses a solid brass enclosure slide for guided movement and a statuary bronze/black oxide color finish that suits darker cabinet interiors.
The 702LH-MAROON lid support from Carlson Capitol Mfg. Company pairs a 45 to 55 foot-pound torque range with an exclusive cam action that holds the lid in any position, matching heavy chest-style lids. For cabinet projects needing inside-mounted support on the left side with a statuary bronze/black oxide color finish, this spring loaded lift mechanism aligns with work surface and table applications where controlled opening and closing matter.
