How to Install 10 inch 10 pound Gas Struts?
The struts were super easy to install. Where you position the struts depends on how you want your cabinet door or lid to open, how many degrees you want it to open, and whether you prefer a soft-close feature or not.
Please follow our detailed installation guide to find the perfect positioning for the struts, ensuring optimal functionality. Besides, you should ensure the rod down when installing, which will well prevent slamming shut.
Gas Strut Too Strong or Too Weak? How to Adjust?
When you are going to be installing 10 inch gas piston on a nice finished surface and want it to slowly open(Not Soft Close Shock Absorbers), just try to move the mounting points and find where it will work best. Just remember placement location matters.

I bought these for installing in a custom cabinet I built in my camper van and in existing cabinets in the van. When placed properly and with the proper number of struts for the size and weight of the door, they work great. I can’t stress it enough that placement matters. How you want the door or lid of your cabinet to open and how high you wanted to open and if you wanted it to be soft close or not, all play a role in where you place the struts. Once I got the placement down, the struts were super easy to install, and I’m really happy with the way they work.
Just what I needed
If you ever get tired of holding the rear deck lid up with your head, or having to lean it against something, these are a must on a tracker classic xl. Modifications needed to install on locker behind the seats.
these were to light for my application needed the heavier ones to hold the door open.
I like EVERYTHING about these EXCEPT they are nearly impossible to remove from the Ball Mount once they are snapped on to it.
Work good! I used these struts when I modified my sea kayak seats. I will be interesting to see how well they hold up in that environment. I had to modify the attachment brackets to fit steel tubing.
Installed these on my camper cabinets. They were easy to install and work perfectly.
After the first, Rest were easy Installing.
We recently traded in our trailer for a new one. Our old trailer had this type strut to hold the cabinet doors open. The new one lacked them. I was glad to find these and a good price. The cabinet doors are light, so I only need one for each. I have a spare since I only needed to use three. Now I don’t have to worry about trying to maneuver items in and out of the cabinet while holding the door up.
The instructions were included and were clear about where to mount the brackets. Once that was done, I snapped the strut in place, and I was done. I had to add a piece of wood to the back of the cabinet face for the round bracket, but that was not hard.
Bottom line: If your RV did not come with them and you have lift-up cabinet doors, get these. They will work and save you a lot of frustration.
I used these for some wall box projects I have. They work well for the application I needed. There’s just enough tension that they hold when open, but not so much that it is difficult to close when finished. Something else that would be great to be included in the instructions is, the removal of the strut from the mounting brackets. I found out after my initial install that I had to reposition one of the mounts so the lid would close. The release mechanism is very tricky and makes you feel like you will break the clip on the piston. Once that was figured out, adjustments weren’t too bad. After getting it installed correctly, it seems solid. I have 2 more to complete, so hopefully these continue to work as advertised.
