4 Inch Curved Folding Lift-Up Cabinet Door Support Rod

Product detail

Curved folding support rod for lift-up cabinet doors, made from polished stainless steel with a riveted pivot that lets the door swing open and hold position. The arm measures 134 mm overall and is drilled at 33 mm, 25 mm and 36 mm centres, so it lines up with common carcass and door panel layouts. Because the rod carries the door mechanically, there is no pressurised gas strut to fail or replace, which suits wall cabinets, overhead storage and vanity units where the door lifts rather than swings sideways. The polished surface resists finger marks and wipes clean. The right-hand orientation matches the hinge side on most standard layouts. A compact, low-cost line for furniture makers, kitchen fitters and importers assembling a cabinet hardware range. With the door held open on the arm, a fitter or a householder can load or work in an overhead unit with both hands free instead of holding the leaf up, and the door stays open until it is pushed shut. Fitted to lift-up wall cabinets and media units so the door stays where it is put instead of falling shut; joinery suppliers add it to a cabinet package because the curved arm works with the door profile already on the drawing. There is also nothing to charge, pressurise or replace later: a gas strut has to be matched to the door weight and can lose its hold over time, whereas a riveted mechanical arm has no charge to leak and no seal to fail. For an importer shipping flat-pack units, the hardware arrives with the performance it left with, which is what keeps a lift-up door holding on the customer's first assembly.
