FEATURES

• Easy-Unobstructed Loading: Allows Easy Access to Kiln - no support bars in the way. The lid, when open, is tilted away from the kiln opening allowing greater access to the interior. There are no lid supports in the way when loading your kiln. You can safely and easily load from both sides. Anyone who has tried to load a large kiln with a lot of work can fully appreciate this great feature.
  
  
• Easy-to-Open: The "Easy-Open, Easy-Load" L&L hinge is counterbalanced with a torsion spring. This dramatically lightens the weight of the lid making it easy to open and close.
  
  
• Less Chance of Lid Damage: A lighter lid also reduces lid and kiln lip damage.
  
  
• Safe: A plunger-type safety latch holds the lid in place while it is open.
  
  
• Stable Construction: The hinge extends over three kiln sections and ties the kiln together for stability.
  
  
• Corrosion & Heat Resistant: The body of the hinge is made from aluminized steel.

Below are photographs of the J2900 Spring Hinge. There is a full brace on the top of the larger kilns to fully support the brick when being opened, closed or when it is in the up postion. The front is designed to allow this brace to expand and contract separately from the top brick.
