Hinge help needed

[WW]

Going to put up some cabinets against the ceiling that only drop down about

16 inches. Looking for hinges that will open door in upward position and hold door open while loading or unloading items. I don't know what to describe them as. I have Goggled for a couple hours with no results. I believe I have seen this style in motor homes. Tried many motorhome sites to no avail. Any help as to description welcome. TIA. WW

Thanks to Nova and Max. Rockler is the first place I looked but overlooked that one. Getting old sure slows me down. WW

Second that. It now takes me all night to do what I used to do all night.

Here's another source. They are good people.

like the same hinge to me so go with whichever supplier gives you the best deal. I agree with Frank K. that Woodworkers Supply is a good outfit . I've done plenty of business with them and never had a problem.

The user reviews weren't so good. It seems they bend easily and that makes them useless.

That hasn't been my experience. Two things to remember. There not designed for a heavy load (or should I say lid) and there should be some restraint exercised in opening and closing them. There are two distinct "clicks" to be heard in the process. If you try to close a lid and you don't first *lift* it to release the catch, listening for the "click", you're bound to do some damage. I wouldn't recommend them for someone who has a habit of forcing things, a "get a bigger hammer" type.
