Lid support 35-40 ft lb describes this Carlson Capitol Mfg. Company spring loaded lift mechanism designed for chest style lids, so it manages lids in the 35 to 40 foot-pound torque range, which helps match the support to heavier tops. This lid support is part of the Lid Supports and Up Stays (Chest Style) family, so it fits applications where a lid needs controlled lifting rather than a simple hinge action. The manufacturer part number 702RH-BLUE identifies the specific right hand unit, which matters when pairing it correctly on the cabinet side. As a Lid Supports and Stays product, it is intended to support and control the lid through its full swing, which helps reduce lid movement problems during everyday use. The solid brass enclosure slide works with the spring mechanism, which supports smooth lid motion during opening and closing.
This Carlson lid support is for mounting inside of the cabinet opening, so the mechanism sits out of the way while still controlling the lid. The exclusive cam action holds the lid in any position, which helps when the lid needs to stay partially open for access or adjustment work. The note "Torque rating = lid height x lid weight x 1/2 (per Each, not Pair)" describes how the 35-40 foot-pound range relates to lid size and weight, which helps match the support to the specific lid geometry. The spring loaded lift design works with the solid brass enclosure slide, which provides a guided motion path to support repeatable lid travel from closed to open positions.
This spring loaded lid support sits inside the cabinet opening, so it serves chest style or cabinet lids that open upward over the front edge. As a Lid Supports and Stays component in the Lift Systems category, it works in projects where the lid must be controlled rather than simply hinged, which is common in work surface, table, or chest lids. The 702 RH/LH Series design allows mounting to either the left or right side of the cabinet, so installers can mirror layout across a wider lid by using a right hand or left hand unit where needed. The 35-40 foot-pound torque description connects directly to lid weight and height through the stated formula, which ties this support to lids that fall within that torque requirement.
The exclusive cam action in this Carlson lid support holds the lid in any position, so once set, the cam and spring combination resists movement until the user applies force again, which limits unintended slamming during use. The torque rating guidance, using lid height times lid weight times one-half per each support, describes how the 35-40 foot-pound range supports sizing decisions, so installers can align the mechanism with the mechanical demand of the lid. High quality springs matched to this torque range work with the solid brass enclosure slide, creating a controlled lift and lower cycle that repeats from installation to installation. The statuary bronze/black oxide color finish on the visible hardware helps the support sit visually back inside the cabinet, which keeps attention on the lid and work surface instead of the mechanism. The cam with its riveted cover brackets forms one integrated moving assembly, so the lid connection and the cam motion stay aligned over time for consistent positioning behavior.
The 702RH-BLUE lid support is described as 35-40 foot-pound, which ties its spring and cam design to lids whose torque requirement falls in that range for controlled movement.
This Carlson Capitol Mfg. Company lid support is for mounting inside of the cabinet opening, so the mechanism operates within the case while the lid swings above.
The exclusive cam action holds the lid in any position, so once placed, the lid can stay partially or fully open without drifting closed during use.
This lid support has a statuary bronze/black oxide color finish, so the hardware presents a dark appearance inside the cabinet opening.
The torque rating uses lid height times lid weight times one-half per each lid support, which connects the 35-40 foot-pound range directly to the lid dimensions and mass.
The 702RH-BLUE lid support, rated at 35-40 foot-pounds, pairs its spring loaded lift mechanism with a solid brass enclosure slide, which supports controlled lid motion in chest style or cabinet applications. The exclusive cam action holds the lid in any position, providing stable access points across the lid travel. The 702 RH/LH Series side-mount design works inside the cabinet opening, which suits projects needing concealed control hardware. For lids whose calculated torque falls within 35-40 foot-pounds, this Carlson Capitol Mfg. Company right hand unit offers a defined, application-focused choice.
