How do you choose a motion control stay?

Damping mechanisms in storage units with swing doors are now standard fare but those with but lids and flaps, which are more susceptible to banging shut, require a bit more thought. Where will it be? When specifying a stay bear in mind that they are designed with a particular location in mind: overhead, mid height or floor level and with a view to what is around them. What's around it? In small spaces a bi-folding or parallel opening mechanism can make life easier and where there is also reduced height above, "up and over" or "swing down" style motions make a difference. Do you need lift assist? With overhead or heavy doors lift assist can be essential particularly when used by the frail or elderly. Sugatsune designs are increasingly becoming available with this feature and some of them are also 'free stop' which means that the door will stay in the position it is left in. Very handy for height challenged individuals operating overhead cupboards!
