Review on ✔️ Gas Spring Strut Shocks with Soft Close Hinges for Toy Boxes, Lift Supports, Lid Support, Hydraulic Door Cabinet Hinge Spring – Pressure Rating 150N by Dawson Schmidt

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Repaired storage box hinges.

I had a shoe storage box that used those flimsy stamped brass spring hinges to open and close the lid. They both broke due to metal fatigue. I got the gas struts and replaced the broken hinges. They don't have detailed instructions. For easier insertion into the ball sockets, you have to move the retaining spring up a little with a small screwdriver. It now has good opening support and a softer pop when closing.

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Good, but not great
