National Hardware N208-611 Brass Left-hand Folding Support

Product Description

The NATIONAL HARDWARE N208-611 is a left-hand folding support bracket designed to hold table legs, shelves, chest lids, and similar hinged or drop-down surfaces in an open position. Built from steel with a brass finish, this compact hardware fitting prevents lids and panels from slamming shut during use. At 0.23 pounds, it is lightweight and easy to handle during installation. Carpenters, millwrights, and general contractors commonly install this type of support in residential and light commercial cabinet and furniture applications.

This folding support is suited for residential cabinetry, workshop benches, storage chest lids, fold-down shelving, and utility furniture. It functions as a simple mechanical stop, deploying when the lid or surface is raised and folding flat when closed. The left-hand orientation means it mounts on the left side of the application when viewed from the front. This part corresponds to National Hardware catalog model V1890.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a carpenter or general handyman using standard hand tools. Ensure the mounting surface is structurally sound before fastening. Follow the lid or shelf manufacturer's mounting instructions for pilot hole sizing and fastener type. Confirm the left-hand orientation matches the intended mounting position before drilling.
