Douper 100N/22lb Gas Spring Soft Close Hinges, Slow Down Lid Stay Slowly Open Drop Door Flap for Kitchen Cabinet Cupboard Desk, Pack of 2

Utilized these hinges for custom-made radiator cover doors, focusing on security to prevent accidental opening. These hinges proved to be robust and effectively secure the doors. Even a single hinge on one side of the other door performs well. A bit pricey, but justifies it with the reliable and robust performance received. These hinges exceeded expectations, delivering on the promise of strength and security for custom radiator cover doors

And these were the only ones I could find within budget. Deciding to finally install the loft ladder, I needed to change the loft access from an inny to an outy. Doing this from 18mm ply I was concerned that the weight of the access door swinging down could pose a risk to anyone underneath it, and put extra stress on the hinges. So I wanted struts that would arrest the speed of the opening door. Now whilst soft closing is everywhere, soft opening was harder to find, but after a while I found these. Now they do work well, even more so for the mass they are being used for, but the majority of the effect is towards the end of the arm extension, this means the access door has the ability to drop open, but these slow that down very quickly and prevent any swinging. They also hold the access door away from the ladder, so I don't have to deal with ladder and door banging about. They would be perfect if the arrested the movement sooner into the opening of the arm, but I am none the less pleased with the them.

These are brilliant. Used them in some IKEA Ekket cupboards I ve positioned sideways and they are amazing. Good instructions with specific details on door weight - angle - position guides. As long as you follow the manual for the angle and weight analogy these will strongly keep the cupboard door from dropping.

It’s probably my fault and I may have misunderstood what I was buying. I wanted a damper which would stop the lid of a chest slamming shut and let it ‘soft-close’. This still lets the lid slam shut. There is resistance for about half the closing arc, then none for the final 45 degrees.

Bought for a toy chest and it couldn't even hold a 5lb lid. Had to fill and repaint to repair the item I built by hand as a bespoke chest. Instructions unbelievable, printed only for Eurohinge cabinet in lift-up mode, printed onto the clear plastic packaging. Is a piece of paper too expensive?

Was looking for drop door struts and seemed hard to find .Found these Douper struts and they are fantastic and work really well. Sellers customer service is also first class. Highly rated.

Currently building a tv unit for the missus, and have a toddler running around so I wanted to stop the drop cupboard slamming down on her head. these work great, a star has been deducted as the instructions where not correct. Unlike a lot of reviewers I didn't find it quite so difficult to work out correct positioning, mounted and in use in under 5 mis. WIll add pictures later

Excellent product. I recommend it, great thing, worth the money

Should have asked more questions .i needed most resistance as it was closing ,but it works the other way

Completely useless for a large, downward opening attic hatch. Installed in line with measurements and angle.

Have not installed them yet, we are waiting for a pair of butler hinges. They look like they are made very well. Look forward to getting this project finished

I bought and installed this product on my secretary to replace a couple old spring hinges. This product is well made, easy to install, and holding up beautifully with daily use. I installed my set on a drop down desk on my secretary, so I can't speak to a soft close, but it opens/drops down smoothly and softly/slowly on its own.

Muy buena calidad y fácil instalación. Tuve que regresarlos porque quedaron chicos al mueble que quería arreglar. Pero los recomiendo mucho
