I just received this and the hinges seem very imprecise. How do I know if I have received your latest, strongest version?

I can't help you. I had the same problem and I ended up sending it back for a refund. I would recommend buying the Furrino version instead, It's basically the same thing but it works much better.

I have one two of these and find that the hinges are very precise, however, it takes a while to finally adjust both sides so they are equal and in the configuration you want. It takes some practice. Don't give up.

I have not experienced the problem you mention with mine. They seem to be very concerned about their reputation, so I would contact them and ask them to make it right.

I wound up returning mine. The bottom hinges stuck after only a few days an would not lock in place. They offered to send me replacement hinges or a new one, but I decided to keep searching. The Furrino looked to me like it would be shorter in the fully extended position. I had wanted one to rest the bottom leg on the floor and have the computer over my lap when I was sitting on the couch so I didn't think it would work for me...I've ordered just a wooden top one with a cushion under it...not exactly what I wanted, but hopefully it will work ok. If you want to know for sure if you have the latest version I would recommend going to LapWorks website and asking them directly. I wound up returning mine.

Mine just arrived and the keys were absolutely locked inside the box. The latch rests up against a piece of sheet metal to hold it shut. I applied the universal solution to every situation: Force. Pulled it apart; the metal inside barely deflected; I bent it back. Still, how the heck could this happen?

Sorry but I do not know that information. If you can send me a photo of your current one -especially the hinge then I can tell you if it is the same. Brian briaddress@yahoo.com

I just got mine today and have the same problem. The metal hinges won't budge at all and the device won't fit in the cigarette lighter.

I didn't install my hinges according to the diagram so I can open my desk a full 90 degrees. This is because the top lays flat to the box. I also put the hinge on the out side of the box. I found I could not reach the hinges to open and close them because I have short arms.

Mine was perfect when it arrived. No problems. So I don't know how to answer that.

On the EXTERNAL OR INTERNAL HINGE - There should be a comments section. If not, you can call me at 855-248-6723 x103 or shoot me an email specifying. Thanks, Marty Perron

Hopefully your first notes / drawings that are stuck on there at the moment are nothing embarassing!! :-) Make sure you push the button at the top down very firmly, it's an actual button, not touch sensitive like many other gadgets these days. Possible you got a defective unit too - nobody beats Amazon about making returns easy and fast.

Mine already arrived with a broken hinge. I'm contacting Amazon about it as I write this.

It looks like you could repair it yourself. The hinges appear to just have screws. If not, call the manufacturer help line to see what they advise.

The one that I just bought was a genuine new HP. If it's different than that when you receive it, just return it.

I just tested by trying the door as it sits, then by putting tension against the latch as if a light-moderate spring were attached. I could not tell a difference in the actuation, to my surprise. So, it seems that you are good to go!

I wish I could help but I hired someone to do the repairs. The only thing I know is the hinges were exactly what he replaced. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful

I've been using mine since 10/2010, and have had no problems with the hinges. No rust, no squeaks, no nothing. Re: side-by-side install, I just checked, and as you open the larger right side door and it swings outward, its mirror extends maybe 0.25 inches beyond the side of the cabinet, i.e. looks like the answer is no, unless you leave a small gap.

Soss hinges can carry lots of weight. You must get the correct hinge size for the material you are installing them in. Also the amount of hinges distributed correctly will effect the hinge strength. There great hinges. Difficult to install correctly. If done right nothing is better. I am a cabinet / designer professional
