Lid support 65-95 ft lb from Carlson Capitol Mfg. Company is a spring loaded lift mechanism designed for mounting inside of a cabinet opening, so the hardware stays out of the way while the lid operates. The 65-95 ft lb torque rating defines the working range for heavier chest-style or cabinet lids, helping match spring tension to lid size and weight. An exclusive cam action holds the lid in any position, which creates stable stops throughout the stroke and helps during loading, layout, or access. The unit is left hand and part of the 702 RH/LH Series, so it is designed to be mounted to the left side of the cabinet. High quality springs available in different tensions for different lid sizes support consistent motion. The statuary bronze/black oxide color finish lets the support blend with darker casework where visible.
This spring loaded lift mechanism is for mounting inside of the cabinet opening, so the installer positions the left hand 702LH-YELLOW unit on the left cabinet side. The 702 RH/LH Series is designed to be mounted to left or right side of cabinet, which supports side-specific planning on wider cases. The torque rating is defined as lid height x lid weight x 1/2 per each unit, so the 65-95 ft lb range ties directly to lid dimensions and mass calculations. This relationship between torque rating and lid size helps align spring tension to the actual lid, supporting balanced lift and controlled closing. The Carlson Capitol lid support uses high quality springs available in different tensions for different lid sizes, giving flexibility within that torque band for varying constructions.
This Carlson Capitol lid support is part of the 702 RH/LH Series and is designed to be mounted to the left side of a cabinet, so it suits left-hand sidewall applications on chest-style or cabinet lids within the 65-95 ft lb torque range. Mounting inside of the cabinet opening keeps the mechanism on the interior, leaving exterior panels and face frames available for decorative hardware and trim. The torque rating defined as lid height x lid weight x 1/2 per each connects directly to real cabinet dimensions, which aligns this support with heavier lids where unassisted lifting would be cumbersome. High quality springs available in different tensions for different lid sizes make this left hand support adaptable across a range of lid constructions that fall within its torque window. The statuary bronze/black oxide color finish fits darker interior finishes common in many casework projects.
The exclusive cam action in this lid support holds the lid in any position, turning the lift mechanism into a positional stay that helps during partial-access tasks such as sorting contents or working near the front of a chest. A solid brass enclosure slide guides motion along a controlled track, helping the lid move smoothly as the cam and springs work together. Cover brackets riveted to the cam create a fixed relationship between the brackets and cam, supporting consistent alignment during repeated cycles. The mechanism keeps heavy lids from slamming shut, so the spring and cam interaction cushions descent and reduces impact at closure. The ability to hold the lid top open in any position means one 702LH-YELLOW support can serve a range of working angles, helping adapt a single installation to different users and tasks over time while staying within the defined 65-95 ft lb range.
This Carlson Capitol lid support has a torque rating of 65-95 ft lb, so it is suited to heavier lids whose lid height x lid weight x 1/2 falls within that range.
The lid support torque rating is defined as lid height x lid weight x 1/2 per each, so installers can relate the 65-95 ft lb range directly to their lid dimensions.
The 702LH-YELLOW lid support is for mounting inside of the cabinet opening on the left side, keeping the mechanism on the interior of the case.
The exclusive cam action holds the lid in any position, allowing the lid to stay partially or fully open at a comfortable angle during cabinet access.
High quality springs available in different tensions for different lid sizes provide lift within the 65-95 ft lb band, supporting smooth opening and controlled closing.
This lid support keeps heavy lids from slamming shut and holds the lid top open in any position, improving handling and reducing impact during everyday use.
This Carlson Capitol Mfg. Company 702LH-YELLOW lid support combines a 65-95 ft lb torque rating, exclusive cam action, and high quality springs to control heavier lids.
