Product Information

Full details

The OKODOKO Lift Up Strut Hinge set is designed for DIY enthusiasts, cabinet makers, and homeowners looking to add controlled, hands-free operation to cupboard doors, storage chests, and drop-down cabinet flaps. These hinges provide a reliable stay-support mechanism that keeps lids safely in the open position, making them perfect for toy boxes or kitchen cabinets; however, they are intended for light-to-medium duty applications and may not support extremely heavy or oversized solid wood lids without additional structural reinforcement.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can these be used for outdoor furniture?

These hinges are primarily designed for indoor use. Outdoor usage may lead to premature corrosion of the finish.

Does this set include mounting hardware?

Yes, each pack includes the necessary standard screws for installation.

How much weight can one hinge hold?

These are intended for light-to-medium duty cupboard doors and flaps. It is recommended to distribute the weight across multiple hinges for larger lids.

Are these hinges soft-close?

These are primarily 'stay-support' hinges that hold the lid open, though they offer a controlled movement.

Can I paint over the silver finish?

It is not recommended, as paint may interfere with the moving parts of the hinge and cause the mechanism to seize.

Troubleshooting

Lid does not stay open

Verify that the hinges are installed at the correct angle. Check that the weight of the door does not exceed the mechanical limit of the strut.

Hinge binds or makes clicking sound

Ensure the hinge is perfectly aligned and that the mounting screws are tightened flush with the surface.

Door sags after installation

Reinforce the mounting area with a thicker wooden backing and ensure all four hinges are distributed evenly if supporting a wider lid.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Cost-effective 4-pack bundle
  • Provides reliable hands-free access
  • Smooth and silent operation
  • Easy to install for DIY projects
  • Attractive silver finish

Cons

  • Not suitable for very heavy solid wood lids
  • Requires precise alignment for optimal function
  • Limited weight capacity for commercial-grade usage

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, mark the mounting points based on your specific cabinet dimensions, ensuring the strut is in the neutral position. Use the provided screws to secure the base to the cabinet frame and the secondary bracket to the flap.

  • Compatibility: These are compatible with standard composite, plywood, and soft-wood cabinet materials.
  • Care: Periodically check the mounting screws to ensure they haven't loosened due to vibration. Clean with a dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth to remove dust. Avoid using abrasive chemical cleaners that may damage the silver coating. Do not apply heavy oils or lubricants unless the hinges show signs of mechanical resistance, as this can attract dust and debris.
