Double spring cover fitting

This first toolbox tip is a classic we see a lot...

“The springs on this large double extension spring door are noisy and it got worse when I put the box lid locks on.”

Here’s how to avoid noisy springs on doors...

If you don’t fit the cover screws the lids will rest on the springs - noisy! When you fit the lid locks, the lids will compress onto the springs and be even noisier!

... and don't forget to fit the spring sliders correctly. See how it's done here!
