A real call

A caller needed lid stays for a heavy lid on piano hinges. He ordered 8 minutes after the call.

Caller: Looking for the right one.
Seth: Okay. We have ones that open about seventy degrees and mount on the right side, used in pairs. They have a soft close so the lid doesn’t slam. Do you know roughly how big and heavy that lid is?
Caller: About fifty pounds.
Seth: Okay, piano hinges and fifty pounds. You’re right on the edge of medium and heavy duty, so I’d go heavy duty for safety. On the site, look for the heavy-duty soft-down lid stay, seventy degrees, white, and grab one left and one right.
Caller: Possibly farther.
Seth: For that fifty-pound lid, I’d look at our heavy-duty multi-angle lid stays. They hold at several angles up to ninety degrees, and can handle up to about a hundred fifty-four pounds. Do you mind if they’re stainless steel instead of white?
Caller: Prefer stainless steel.

Seth matched the stay to the lid weight and the opening angle, and the caller ordered.
