Hi



I have been reading past threads regarding higher strength door struts. With the weight of my doors, they do auto close more than is desirable. 



Till now I have been using stock Vans struts which fit quite well - they bottom out before the hinges are fully open. So what I need are drop in replacement struts that are about the same length or slightly shorter than stock.



Will the A1A1F50-100-286-600N struts meet this requirement? My read of the threads is that they will but I'd like to make sure before I order them. 



Cheers



Les

Les and fellow builders, especially the Australian ones!



My upholsterer put me onto a local supplier of gas struts (strutspecialists.com.au) based out of Perth in Western. Australia (Tel: +61 8 9445 9119) of all places and I was able to source two identical gas struts to the ones Vans supplies, but these ones are rated at 700N, for a very kind price of AU$38.00 for the pair (equates to about US$28.00).



For those enquiring minds, my doors are upholstered and a tad heavier than the norm, thus the 700N.



I hope that this helps guys



Warm regards



Patrick
