Vepagoo 2 Pack Soft Close Gas Struts 15 Inch - 67Lb/300N Heavy Lid Lift Support for Toolbox Toy Box, Cabinet & Boat Hatch to Slow Down and Slow Close,with Mounting Brackets, (Fit 34lb-80lb Lid)

The description says these hydraulic soft-close hinges are designed for toy boxes, TV cabinets, and RV cabinets with a quiet, buffer-closing effect. We decided to put them to work on a gun cabinet — and they delivered. Installation was straightforward and easy, even for a DIY setup. They feel durable and well-made, not flimsy at all. The opening is smooth with a full range, and the closing? Controlled and quiet. Actually… not just quiet. Practically silent. Come to think of it, I don’t hear them at all — which is kind of the whole point, and they absolutely nailed it. We’re always on the hunt for budget-friendly options that don’t feel cheap, and this was definitely a win-win. Solid performance, smooth function, and no slamming doors. Exactly what we needed.

Spot on for the price. I used them on a large RV hatch(22”x48”). They worked well. There were no instructions to show direction of the mounting hardware. Initial install wouldn’t allow for it to close, flipped the brackets to create approximately 1” extra inch. What a difference an extra inch make. Opens and closes perfectly. I did add a reinforcement plate on the hatch side. Allowing for a larger foot print. 3”x3” piece of aluminum with 3m tape and additional screws in the corners.

I ordered these for the storage compartment under the bed in my RV. Compartment is 32" deep and the board covering it is 38" and hinged. The board with the mattress and bedding weighed 30lbs at the lift point on the frt. edge. I used this kit and it makes lifting the bed much easier and holds it up with no problem. Took some trial and error as it's all a guess and you have to be sure the cylinders compress but don't bottom out. I put the end of the cylinder at 8 1/2" from the back of the board and 18" from the back on the base. Because of the brackets this kit comes with and the way the studs attach I had to drop the base end about 4". If I had to do it again I would not buy this kit because of the brackets and the stud ends. Would be better if the studs were on the brackets and the ends of the supports were sockets. Look closely at the pics of the brackets.

I got these to replace the cab lift struts on my Caterpillar skid steer, the mounting brackets are different but I was able to make a minor adjustment to my mounting brackets and got them installed. Definitely holds the cab in place.

strong and sturdy. used these to support a large heavy (40lb) lid on a farm enclosure. i'm sure there's a scientific method to figuring out how to place them but i just did trial and error and got them placed so they are functioning well. made my wife's daily tasks she enjoys much easier.

No mounting screws included and the holes in the brackets are huge, had to make a trip to the hardware store to get washers because none of my screws had big enough heads

Excellent product and price. works as designed. Installed on engine bay door for 2008 Beaver Contessa Westport. Although factory was 130lb struts these are 150 lbs in correct length. Work well you will need extra tools to install due to strength of struts. I used rachet straps to compress to proper install length. You will not be able to compress by hand.

Just go to a hardware store instead. These are completely useless trash, they wont compress or move at all.

Ware gut, passte bei mir nicht. sehr freundlicher Kundenservie

Thought the item was mis-delivered But was placed upstairs at a door at our garage. These are exactly as described and very very strong.

ممتاز وسهل التركيب

I was looking for very strong struts for my project to lift quite a heavy door and I have tried 3 different pairs before this one. Only criticism I’d place with mounting brackets, although they are looking substantial, they started to bend when under force, I had to put some extra supports.

Worked great for my boat cover
