Give a man a fish and he'll try and figure out how to cook it and he'll eat for a day. Next day he's at your dock lookin for another one off your boat.
Give him a fishing pole and simple instructions and he'll still probably show up at your boat, but at least he'll know how to do it.
They gave you the pole. You thought it was the shaft.

Counterbalance? Torsion spring, similar to the type found on a clothespin? Hard for the lid to slam shut if it wants to open.
He could use a torsion spring for a garage door - he'd never have to worry about the lid closing too fast...or at all. ;)
