FAQs

Do I need to buy hinges separately?

Yes, the B2C Oil Dawn Strut is designed to work with existing or separately purchased cabinet hinges. It does not include hinges.

What does the 'N' in 60N, 80N, 150N refer to?

The 'N' stands for Newtons, which is a measure of force. Higher Newton values indicate a stronger strut capable of supporting heavier cabinet doors.

Can this strut be used on any type of cabinet door?

It is specifically designed for shoulder flap cabinets and drop-down doors. It is compatible with both solid fronts and aluminum profile fronts, provided the front height is up to 600 mm.

How do I clean the strut?

Clean the strut with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the finish or the internal hydraulic mechanism.

What is the maximum opening angle?

The strut offers an approximate 90° opening angle. The exact angle may vary slightly depending on the type of hinge used in conjunction with the strut.

Is installation difficult?

Installation is designed to be easy and includes all necessary screws and mounting components. Basic DIY skills and tools are typically sufficient.

What material is the strut made of?

The strut is constructed from high-quality steel and plastic for durability and reliable performance.

Troubleshooting

Cabinet door opens too slowly or not at all.

Ensure the correct strength (N value) strut has been selected for the weight of the cabinet door. If the door is too heavy for the strut, a higher N value is needed. Check for any obstructions preventing smooth movement.

Cabinet door closes too quickly or slams.

The hydraulic mechanism might be compromised, or the strut may not be the correct type for the application. Ensure proper installation and consider a different strength option if the door is lighter than anticipated for the chosen strut.

Strut is noisy during operation.

Check for any debris around the moving parts. Ensure the strut is securely mounted. If noise persists, it may indicate internal issues, and the strut might need replacement.

Strut does not hold the door open at the desired angle.

Verify that the hinge used allows for the desired opening angle and that the strut is mounted correctly in line with the hinge's range of motion. The strut's maximum opening angle is approximately 90 degrees.
