Description of Douper 100N/22lb Gas Spring Hinge: Effortlessly Slow 💡 Down Cabinet & Desk Drop Leaf Opening (Pack of 2)

SPECIALLY DESIGNED FOR DROP LEAF--The hinge will work perfectly if your drop leaf weighs less than 22lbs. It is not used for supporting lid or keeping it stay. STURDY GAS SPRING—Pressure: 100N/22lb. Suitable for: 16-22lb drop leaf. Made of solid brass and iron, sturdy gas spring helps to lower the lid softly and close it easily. With Chrome plated, it is durable and corrosion-resistant. SOFT DROP-DOWN—It is designed to damper the drop-down rate of a drop leaf, such as that of cupboard, cabinet and shoebox, and prevent quick and dangerous closure. EXTEND AUTOMATICALLY-- Overall length: 7.9in (compressed) to 11.4in (stretched). Travel-3.5in. The space-saving hinge will extend automatically as you pull the lid open, and will not get in the way. EASY TO INSTALL by following the instructions.

Very easy to install, very durable and does the job.

They are very easy to install. I wanted something for a pop up lid for my chicken coop nest door. I wanted the door not to fall out when I open it and then hold it straight while I'm picking eggs or cleaning boxes. Please, the loops are really perfect. I was very happy to open the document and see that the measurements for different configurations were already calculated. It saved me a lot of time and I really appreciate it. I only installed them today so I can't comment on their durability but

Pros
  • SOFT DOWN - This is designed to slow the speed at which a hatch such as a cabinet, display case or shoe box lowers and prevents it from closing quickly and dangerously.
Cons
  • weak

Not a bad product, but there are a few downsides.

measurements must be in imperial and metric (they are only metric). The screws break easily, so pre-drill the holes. I bought this for a vanity I built that has a door that slides down. The solid white oak door is 1" tall by approximately 28" wide by 16" tall. The last thing I wanted was for the kids to grab the handle and fall on them. The idea behind the purchase was To slow down the rate at which the door fell and I can tell it fell, but I was expecting a slower rate, I wish I could find…

Pros
  • AUTO-STRETCH - Overall length: 7.9" (compressed) to 11.4" (stretched). Travel is 3.5 inches. The compact hinge moves out automatically when the lid is opened and does not get in the way.
Cons
  • Functionality

At best, it doesn't even last a day.

If your swing door isn't razor-thin, less than 11 inches tall, and nearly weightless, it can last all day. The design and suggested placement will not work for drop down doors. If someone really thought about it. The height of the hinge attached to the opening is 10 inches and the hinge holding the door is almost 3 inches from the opening - the weight of the door is never supported by this hinge. The photos are deceptively clever - lead you to believe that the part holding the door is about…

Pros
  • DEVELOPED SPECIFICALLY FOR DROP LEAF. The swivel is ideal when the flap weighs under 22 pounds. It is not used to support or secure the lid.
Cons
  • Damaged

Amazingly reliable

My partner and I recently bought a house together which to be honest has been a little nerve wracking because buying a house for an unmarried couple can be very intimidating but I think we'll pull through and that's it I say me every morning, at lunchtime and just before bed. After a major purchase we were commissioned to furnish a much larger area than our previous 2 bedroom apartment. It was such an exciting and rewarding experience because we can draw and hang stuff on the walls, but my…

Pros
  • HEAVY DUTY GAS SPRING - Pressure: 100 N/22 lbs. Suitable for: 16-22lb. falling leaf. The durable solid brass and iron gas spring helps the lid lower gently and close easily. Chrome plating makes it durable and corrosion resistant.
Cons
  • High Price
