Braked Metal Lid Stay Nickel (50 Pieces)

Nickel-Plated Soft-Close Friction Lid Stay — 50 Pieces

Nickel-Plated Soft-Close Friction Lid Stay is a precision-engineered hinge mechanism that holds cabinet, chest, and furniture lids securely at any desired position while preventing sudden slamming or uncontrolled opening. The bright nickel-plated finish offers excellent corrosion resistance and complements modern furniture styling. Its integrated friction braking system keeps the lid exactly where you leave it — eliminating impact noise, damage, and the risk of trapped fingers. Supplied in a pack of 50, ideal for production workshops, large contracts, and renovation projects.

Product Advantages

• ✅ Friction braking — holds the lid at any angle; will not drop or swing open on its own
• ✅ Slow, controlled motion — cushions closure to prevent impact damage, reduces noise, and extends hinge life
• ✅ Nickel plating — stands up to moisture, handling oils, and cleaning chemicals; retains its bright finish for years
• ✅ All‑steel construction — far more durable than plastic alternatives; resists breakage and wear
• ✅ Standard hole centres — matches widely used mounting patterns; no custom machining required
• ✅ Discreet installation — all fixings hidden from view; clean, premium appearance
• ✅ Bulk pack — attractive unit pricing; convenient stock supply for continuous production
• ✅ Fully serviceable — easily removed and replaced; individual mechanism replacement possible

Installation & Usage Guidelines

• Calculate lid weight and dimensions before fitting — use more than one pair for large or heavy doors
• Maintain standard edge clearance when marking holes; ensure the mechanism operates without binding
• Tighten screws firmly but avoid over‑torqueing — bending the housing will reduce brake effectiveness
• Adjust the tension screw gently if fitted — balance resistance so it stays put yet moves smoothly; too tight = stiff operation, too loose = it will drift closed
• Use approved glass fittings for glazed lids; avoid direct metal‑to‑glass contact
• Clean with a soft cloth only — abrasive scourers or wire brushes will scratch the plating
• Retighten mounting screws periodically after prolonged use
• Do not apply oil or grease — the friction brake relies on dry contact; lubrication will stop it working

Frequently Asked Questions

— What opening angle does it provide?
Standard version is 90°; a 105° wide‑angle variant is available for deeper cabinets.

— Suitable for non‑wooden doors?
Works perfectly with MDF, particleboard, plywood, and metal frames; glazed lids require purpose‑designed mounting brackets.

— Can the braking force be adjusted?
Yes — the tension screw regulates both opening resistance and hold strength.

— Will the nickel finish fade?
Maintains its appearance for decades indoors; select stainless‑steel models for coastal or permanently outdoor environments.

— Are other finishes available?
Nickel is the standard silver tone; black, white, and gold plating can be supplied on request.
