Are the hinges on the covers such that when you open the covers, they stay fully wide open, or do they tend to partially close on their own?

The covers close slightly. After the cover is opened, I bend them back a bit past vertical and then they stay wide open.

They fit great. And are nice. The only down fall I had was there are 3/4 different ones. You need to match the hinges up. I ordered the incorrect ones the first time until I saw the hinges, then I was able to get the correct ones.

No they don't and that is a problem. They're held there by the flimsiest tiny plastic hinge and they don't open wide to fill. I've already ripped one lid off by raising it too high. I still like the removable daily compartments, that's really convenient on a trip. They're just a bugger to fill

These will open as wide as a regular door hinge. They may not be what you think, though. Their benefit is in how they pull a door out of the way of the opening.

It does not fully lock closed, only open. However, there is a friction bump holding it closed requiring additional force beyond just friction at the hinge to open. I personally have not had any problems with it opening unintentionally.

Yes, it is on hinges. And it doesn't slam down which is great because you won't catch your fingers. You can have it halfway open and it'll stay that way... Hope that helps.

All but one of the open positions locks in place, and I've never had a problem with the one that doesn't. When all are open, they secure using a screw-down against the back window.

Yes the entire length of the cover opens for installation. Springs shut and stays in place.

no, they are actually not too much of a problem. the only issue that i have ever had is that when you keep the flaps open for too long, they tend to want to stay up but eventually settle back in.

Not really.. they are designed more to hold the lid up in a certain position. there is no "slow close" with them, so they will slam shut if not held.

Don't have an good answer for you they do stay but open if bumped. I just stack them flat.

It stays fully open. It will click when it is fully opened and remains in place. We have had no problems with ours.

They are loose and it doesn't affect it's purpose, it stays open if you want to release the steam, but I have no idea if it supposed to be loose.

Correct. It doesn't seem to close completely. But when you lay your feet on it, it does shut. The hinge is just too tight.

No, these hinges do not have any kind of snubbing feature and will snap shut if allowed. They do however, have an open limit adjustment. Recommend using felt (not rubber) stickers attached to the landing surfaces to muffle the closing sound.

Thank you for your question. The way the Auto-Close Gate is designed, the door will not stay open by itself.

The top will stay open by itself if you open it all the way. It does not have hinges that keep it open.
