What happens here

Attach three-inch black hinges to the back of the grill compartment's top lid and the main grill compartment body, allowing the lid to open and close smoothly. To prevent the lid from falling backward and potentially tipping the entire cart when fully open, install a chain with D-links. Screw one end of the chain (using a D-link) to the inside of the grill lid and the other end to the back interior of the grill compartment. Adjust the chain length to find the perfect balance point where the lid stays open without stressing the hinges or unbalancing the cart.

Goal: Securely attach the grill lid and prevent it from over-extending when open.
