Install Guide & Support
Welcome to LidLoft. Everything you need to get set up is right here — a one-minute install, answers to common questions, and a direct line to us if anything isn't perfect.
Install in about a minute
Your LidLoft mounts two ways. Both use the two included #6 × ½″ screws through the countersunk holes in the body.
Option 1 — Under a cabinet shelf (lids hang below)
- Pick your spot. Hold LidLoft against the underside of a shelf, slots facing down. Leave at least 4″ (10 cm) of clearance below for your tallest lids.
- Mark the holes. Use a pencil through the two countersunk screw holes.
- Drive the screws. Fasten the two included #6 × ½″ screws with a Phillips screwdriver until the base sits flush. Don't overtighten.
- Load your lids. Slide each lid into a slot. Done.
Option 2 — Inside a drawer (against the drawer wall, slots facing up)
- Position it. Hold LidLoft flat against the inside wall of a drawer, slots facing up.
- Check the drawer closes. LidLoft is 1″ (26 mm) deep — confirm clearance with a lid in place before you mount.
- Mark, then screw. Pencil-mark through the two holes, then drive the included screws until flush. For thin drawer walls (under ½″), use shorter screws or the adhesive method below.
- Drop your lids in. They stand upright, separated, ready.
Prefer not to drill? (renter-friendly)
LidLoft's flat back also works with heavy-duty double-sided mounting tape (like 3M VHB, sold at any hardware store — not included). Clean both surfaces with rubbing alcohol, apply tape across the full back, press firmly for 30 seconds, and wait one hour before loading lids.
Positioning tips
- Mount near where you unload the dishwasher — the best spot is the one you'll actually use.
- The 5-Slot is 4.1″ wide; the 10-Slot is 7.7″ wide. Both are 4.5″ deep and 1″ tall.
- Screws work in wood, plywood, and MDF cabinet material. For metal or glass, use the tape method.

Frequently asked questions
Will it fit my lids?
Yes — LidLoft holds virtually any food-storage container lid, square or round: IKEA 365+, Rubbermaid, Pyrex, Snapware, Glad, and store brands. (It's not designed for pot lids.)
What's included in the box?
Your LidLoft organizer and two #6 × ½″ mounting screws. That's everything you need for a standard install.
Can I remove it later?
Yes. Back out the two screws — the small holes are easy to fill. Tape installs remove clean with a slow, steady pull (warm the tape with a hair dryer first).
Which direction should the slots face?
Under a shelf: slots face down, lids hang. In a drawer: slots face up, lids stand.
