Qualität gut, Einbauhinweise leider sehr ungenau. Optimale Einbaulage muss deshalb ausprobiert werden.

We first tried some other supports that were rated for the size and weight of our toy trunk lids, and while cheaper, they just didn't work on a number of points: 1) they took many, many attempts to install correctly, 2) when finally installed, they let the lid slam once it was 3/4 closed, 3) and finally the bracket bent during only the installation process. So, we sent those back, I did a ton more research, and then we got these instead.Wow. WORLDS apart! Worth every penny.First, they are very high quality and sturdy. Then, they were so, SO simple to install. The instructions were clear, the measurements accurate, and therefore I had them installed FIRST TRY in about 5 minutes with just a ruler, pencil and screwdriver. Next, they come with a really handy chart that recommends 1 or 2 supports depending on the size and weight of your lid. Even though the chart recommended 2 for our lids, I tried 1 first since you have to install them one at a time anyway. Just one worked great in all respects: the lid stayed open 90º, but once pulled past that point it closed slowly and softly. However, I went ahead and installed a second one as well so the support wasn't overworked, and noticed that the speed with which it closes is about half with 2 supports than with just 1. I tried uploading videos of both to show the comparison, but Amazon only permits one video per review. So the video posted is with 2 supports. Cute 2-year-old shown for scale.I hope this helps others decide to buy these, because we're immensely happy with them!

Instructions are scant. There is a video on YouTube for the type that holds a lighter lid, but my lid was very heavy and what I bought was different . If there is a video for this type, I didn’t find it. I found the hinge kept ‘circling’ making lining the screws up with the holes tricky. I ‘braked’ it by using a piece of sticky tape on the arm to stop it spinning. Once I did that, they were a dream to fit. Once fitted, they are wonderful. The lid is held steady when the lid is open, and when pushed, shuts slowly and beautifully. I can’t believe how good they are, my box lid is extremely heavy, or that a non-DIY type like me fitted them. It really was easy. If your lid is heavy, remember not to go past 90 degrees.

Really good hinge works great. Comes with template to guide where to put the mounting bracket and screw holes, which I thought was a nice simple idea. - but the screw holes in the template don’t actually line up with the bracket holes which is a little silly and frustrating but a simple fix.
