Product Information

Full details

The J&Y Soft Close Gas Spring Lift Support is an ideal solution for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to upgrade kitchen cabinets, RV lockers, or wardrobes with smooth, hands-free upward opening functionality. These heavy-duty struts provide a controlled lifting motion and a gentle soft-close effect that prevents slamming, significantly extending the lifespan of your hinges; however, users should be aware that the high internal pressure makes them nearly impossible to compress by hand prior to installation, requiring mounting to the door to demonstrate proper function.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I install these on a heavy solid wood door?

These struts are designed for standard wooden or MDF doors and are not recommended for heavy solid wood doors.

Why can't I compress the strut by hand?

The struts contain high-pressure gas meant to support heavy doors; they require the leverage of the mounted cabinet door to be compressed.

Does the kit come with mounting screws?

Yes, the product includes both the necessary mounting brackets and the required fixing screws.

Should I install one or two struts?

For optimal performance and to prevent door misalignment, it is highly recommended to install two support rods symmetrically.

Are these suitable for outdoor use?

While they feature a corrosion-resistant finish, they are intended primarily for interior use in kitchens, wardrobes, and furniture.

Troubleshooting

The cabinet door closes too quickly or slams.

Ensure that two struts are installed symmetrically and check that the mounting brackets are tightened securely to the cabinet frame.

The door does not stay open.

Verify the weight of the door is within the supported range and ensure the mounting position matches the required geometry for the leverage needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires basic hand tools and a focus on precision measurements. Use the provided mounting brackets to ensure the pivot points are aligned according to the dimensions of your cabinet door.

Compatibility: These struts work best with standard MDF or plywood cabinet doors. They are not designed for heavy, thick solid hardwood doors which may exceed the weight capacity.
Care: Periodically wipe the metal rods with a clean, dry cloth to remove dust or debris. Do not apply heavy lubricants or oils, as these can attract grit and interfere with the internal hydraulic seals.
Installation Tip: Do not attempt to test the strut strength by squeezing it with your hands; the internal pressure is high and intended to support a large surface area.
