Does this stay open to prevent slamming shut?

Mine does, yes. That was important to me too since I actually use this in my family room as a toy box :)

I use this as a toy box for my toddler. the top remains open while she is taking her toys out and putting them back in. It will not shut on its own

It has magnets that will keep it closed. However, be advised, this unit has VERY SHARP EDGES, sharp enough to cause injury. Surprising considering the brand name. I sent mine back for this reason. Also, it is a very heavy unit, should you decide to purchase, be sure you can locate a stud for both top and bottom. Hope this helps. Billy

If you open the lid fully until you feel it click it will stay in that position. Kind of like how a car door has that open point where it won't swing shut.

Yes, it will stay open, if you have it up against a wall. We keep the lid up most of the time - it doesn't fall shut on its' own.

Yes, but it automatically 'pops' open unless it is held shut with a heavier object.

Yes, it stays open, but only all the way open. Once it starts to close it will fall shut. Laura N. is correct. It is very light weight. Lid would not cause bodily harm, but would startle small child. Kids learn so fast, should not be a problem.

No. If you open it all the way, the lid will stay open. Great little safe, I am glad I purchased it, easy to instal, easy to use.

Mine stayed closed so well I had to loosen it a bit so I could flip it open easier. You should have no problems. (:

The hardware is designed to not slam shut. It will stay at the position you leave it.

The first one that I bought about 2 years ago stills stays pretty tight on. It has got a little lose over time than what it once was but still does a good job. As long as it doesn't take a big hit I'm sure it will stay closed thru most things. The only time mine has come open from knocking it over or dropping it, is when I fell once and hit hard and the top came open. Hope that helps.

No, I don't think this hinge will prevent the door from slamming. It's spring just pushes the door to close, and you can adjust it so that it pushes not too hard to minimize slamming. But I guess wind would still cause it to slam - you need a different type of device to prevent that.

Yes! And mine stays in place too, due to the same little magnet that holds it shut when in closed position.

Does that mean that it won't slam closed? If so, no, not soft close hinges.

Yes, it stays open. You have to use the string ties to keep it closed and from popping back open.

There's no latch or anything, but there is a slightly magnetized strip on the cover that keeps it closed. I haven't had any problems with it coming open accidentally.

Yes, if you pull it towards you it locks open. If you push it back it just opens, then when you let go it shuts off.

The clam-shell hinge has an internal spring that engages when the case is nearly shut that shuts the case completely. It will keep the case from opening due to vibrations, etc., if that's what you're asking.
