4 Pcs Drop Down Hinges, Cabinet Lid Stay Folding Hinges, 180 Degree Lid Support Flap HingesSoft Close Furniture Kitchen Cabinet Cupboard Wardrobe Door Hinge, with Screws

I bought these support hinges for a TV cabinet that has a drop-down door at the front. The Amazon description stated as follows: Wide Application: Suitable for making furniture that flips, pulls down to open, and pulls up to open/close. I doubted that the same hinge would give damping for both drop-down and hinge-up doors, so I was prepared for the worst. Sure enough, when they arrived they provided soft-close for hinge-up doors only. So if you have a door that opens upwards, these hinges should work just fine out of the box. However, I needed soft-open for drop-down doors. As they were so cheap I decided to see if they can be modified to work for drop-down doors. And sure-enough, they can do so, with a very simple two minute job. Anyone with a modicum of common sense can do this but it will void any warranty, so please do this at your own risk. Place the hinge flat on a table with the Allen key bolt facing up, Undo the bolt with the key provided and swap the arm on the left over to the right hand side. So, the left arm is now the right arm! This reverses the resistance and enables you to use these hinges with a drop-down door. Please note there are some small pieces in the circular centre of hinge ( six small metal bearings/rollers) which will become loose in this process, so be ready to catch them and pop them back in (a pair of tweezers might help but I didn't need them myself). It's really very simple to do. Just take your time and with a little care anyone should be able to do it. Make sure all the pieces are aligned properly and re-tighten the Allen Bolt. They now work perfectly, providing good damping on a drop-down door. As I said, this will void any warranty, so please do this at your own risk. Hope that helps someone out.

GOOD PRODUCT WELL DELIVERED

Excellent product along with speedy delivery. Easy to fit.

Very cheap and inappropriate screws

Very strong and delivery was very dpeedy

To small and very flimsy

Direct replacement for one that had broken. Works great.

Does the job, you do have to adjust them alittle but we only needed 1 hinge per top box. Which was good! As i ordered to per topbox.

Bien reçu et de bonne qualité

Non è una "cerniera", bensì un supporto di apertura, che tiene aperto verso l'altro uno sportello a battuta. Facile da montare e da regolare, funziona bene, basta "stringere" un po' più del minimo necessario, per avere una funzione stabile.

Muy robustas, buen producto

Sehr gut Beschreibung ist nicht wirklich hilfreich
