This folddown pivot is the lower hinge that lets a folddown door or panel rotate smoothly and hold position, restoring proper movement and alignment. It replaces a worn or broken lower pivot so the door or panel opens and closes correctly. What it does:
- Acts as the lower hinge point for a folddown door or panel, allowing controlled pivoting motion
- Replaces a worn, cracked, or broken pivot that causes sticking or sagging
- Helps the door/panel stay aligned and close securely instead of dropping or binding
- Commonly used when the folddown component wobbles or will not stay in the open or closed position
What's included: One lower folddown pivot Install notes:
- Disconnect power and remove any attached panels or shelves before replacing
- Support the door/panel during removal and installation to avoid damage or injury
- Reuse OEM fasteners if undamaged or replace with equivalent hardware; ensure proper alignment during installation
- Test movement several times after installation to ensure smooth operation and secure fit
