These are really hold-open arms with a friction dampener. We usually associate soft close with an air- or spring- damped hinge. The hinge works perfectly for our needs.

There is tension but it is not intended to close a heavy lid slowly. It soft closes 75% of the way and slams hard the last 25%. Now my chest lid has holes in it, and still doesn't soft close.

None of the brackets are assembled in the same manner. The angles of the bracket insure poor alignment. Installation instructions are small diagrams with dimensions.

I bought these to replace overhead hinges (i thought they were the same ones i had before, they look the same, but not even close in sturdiness and quality) the included allen wrench is very poor quality. The hinge pretty much holds it open if it's pa...  Read More
