## Description

Apexstone Soft Close Box Hinges, Safety Hinge, Soft Close Hinge, Slow Closing Hinges for Toy Chest Toy Box, Set of 2 - desertcart.com

Review: Huge, heavy lid. Safe slow closure. - They are not the easiest to install. I can back up the reviews struggling on proper placement. My hinge position was outside the box. I ended up having to notch a channel for the strut body to clear in the open position. The brackets are definitely the weak point. If not aligned properly they will bend. There is some slack in the top 20% (80-100% open). No pressure until a slight drop. They do not hold in the open position, they are not a lifter, they are for slow closure. They have great pressure on the way down though. You can’t force them closed faster. This installation is a very heavy lid (roughly 60lbs) and they work great. I read the reviews and anticipated the drawbacks I mentioned. For the price they actually exceeded my expectations.
Review: EASY INSTALL, GREAT RESULTS - Very easy to install and very good results. I used these on a relatively heavy lid (25 lbs) and the lid takes about 15 seconds to close. It closes very softly. I have seen a lot of negative reviews for this product saying they are flimsy and difficult to install. This is not correct. The most important thing to note is to make sure that the struts are vertical when the lid closes, we want the forces to be applied to the strong axis. If you have the struts angled or horizontal like some of the pictures on these reviews then they will likely underperform and break because the forces are being applied along the weak axis. Also, dont attach the struts directly next to the hinges on the lid. Ever tried to open a heavy door by pushing right next to the hinges? Doesn't work well. When attaching the struts, attach to the lid first, then extend the strut fully and mark the location to attach the bottom of the strut about an inch short of the full length of the strut. Last thing...make sure the black casing is up and the smaller, chrome portion is down.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Huge, heavy lid. Safe slow closure.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works beautifully, but is too strong for our chest lids
*by J***D on May 29, 2025*

I got these to match a pair of 100N Apextone soft-close struts purchased in 2017. The originals are a bit too slow, but that's because our storage chests have light lids, not because of a shortcoming in the struts. Otherwise they work perfectly and installed easily. Unfortunately the new ones are 150N and are way too strong for our chest lids, so we can't use them. What we really need are 100N strength or lower soft-close struts, preferably 50N (lifting struts won't work four our application), and I can't find them anywhere.
