Sugatsune L-140S Lid Stay Damper 13.2 Lb 304 Stainless

Product Description

The SUGATSUNE L-140S is a lid stay damper designed to support and control the movement of hinged lids, panels, and access covers in light-duty applications. It provides a rated load capacity of 13.2 pounds, making it suitable for smaller cabinet lids, tool chest tops, bench seat lids, and similar assemblies where controlled opening and hold-open positioning is required. Constructed from 304 stainless steel with a polished finish, the L-140S resists corrosion in environments where moisture, cleaning agents, or outdoor exposure are concerns. The non-handed design means it installs on either side without requiring a left- or right-specific orientation.

The L-140S is used in residential and light commercial applications where a hinged lid or panel requires support during open positioning. Typical installs include storage bench lids, equipment enclosure panels, flip-top workstation surfaces, and architectural millwork with lift-up access doors. The polished 304 stainless steel construction makes it a practical choice for food service environments, marine cabinetry, and outdoor enclosures where a standard steel or zinc-alloy stay would corrode prematurely. Hardware installers, cabinetmakers, and finish carpenters are the primary trades that work with this component.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by cabinetmakers, millworkers, or finish carpenters using standard hand tools. Ensure the lid and frame are properly aligned and supported before fastening the stay to prevent binding. Both mounting points should be secured to solid substrate material capable of handling the rated load. Follow the hardware manufacturer mounting hole pattern and do not over-torque fasteners into the stainless steel body.
