Re: [DIY] Lift Assist Hinges

 

One other question - how will you open this, assuming you do it manually, where will the force be applied and how?  Are you depending on the assist hinges to hold it open, or just to provide an assist to get to particular point before inserting a manual brace to hold it in place? This will make a huge difference in the torque needed for the hinges.

You said you need a value ranging from 1000 to 2000.  I assume that is inch pounds. If you use two assist hinges placed 4.5 inches from the center of rotation, I derive that your mini roof weighs between 100 and 200 pounds.  Is that correct?  Is your mini-roof uniform thickness?
