Toy Box Soft Close hinges, Lid Stay 105 Degree Open with Soft Close, Lid Support for Toy Box and Upward Top-Opening Flap Doors, Easy to Install (Pack of 2)

Currently making a toybox for myself and my wifes baby and wanted to make sure to have a soft close lid for the future to protect fingers. Easy to install and perfect for top lid application. They allow the top to drop at a slow pace and look nicer than the usual strut setups. very pleased even if they are a little pricey i think for the quality and other products ive used there worth the money.

Worked well for 4 months then failed completely, luckily it was me that discovered this and not my children. Not safe for long term use. I installed this 4 months ago on an old chest to use as a toy box. I wanted soft close as the lid crashes down and I was worried about trapped fingers. After initial installation I was extremely happy, the soft close worked and if one of the kids closed the lid it would stop any injury. However it has now failed completely, with no warning or deterioration. Complete waste of money and effort, now need to find a robust one to replace it with.

Update: I changed the rating because the knobs are turning on both of the mounting plates now and hammering on the back would not make them work for any length of time. These work wonderfully to support the lid on my chest for firewood. Much better the the original ones that came with the chest that compressed a spring. However, I have some questions about quality and durability. 1. When I was attaching the plate to the cabinet I drilled pilot holes but the head on one of the four screws broke off without applying a lot of force. It broke off in the hole so I didn't try to remove it and I'm just using three screws. But I'm glad it was only one screw. 2. After a couple days it totally quit supporting the weight of the lid. (BAM!) On investigation, I found the stud had started rotating freely on the plate (see video). I was able to put it in a vise and hammer on the back with a chisel to make it tighter. I figure many people will not want to do this and I wonder how often I will have to go through this procedure... (I tested the second plate, I only had to use one support, and I can force it to rotate some with a pair of pliers and my hand, but not loose like the plate that I used a few days. If I use that second one I will have to hammer on it before I install it.)

They are amazing very happy

Definitely have to review the instructions and it was a challenge for us bc out cheated pieces of wood in the corners. However it does the job well after we got it in correctly. Definitely a soft close touch where kids will not get hurt with lid slammed down as before
