Frequently Asked Questions about Toy box lid support in Teignmouth
Why do toy boxes need lid supports?
Heavy wooden lids slam down hard. Children reach in for toys, let go of the lid, and fingers get crushed. A support mechanism controls the closing speed and prevents injuries.
Will it work on our toy box?
Most wooden toy boxes can have supports fitted. We assess your specific box and fit the appropriate mechanism - gas struts or soft-close hinges depending on lid weight.
What about plastic toy boxes?
Plastic toy boxes with moulded hinges usually can't be modified. If it's a heavy wooden toy chest, that's where supports make the biggest difference.
Is this the same as ottoman lid support?
Same principle, same service. Toy boxes, ottomans, blanket boxes - any heavy lid that children access needs this safety feature.
