Perfect explanation and to the point. Now I can finish the hardware on my hopper cabinet doors in my beautiful finished attic library. You are so clear and encouraging!!
@@rhkennerly you can check this webpage if you like to know, there is a push up and a flip/roll over install explained. camloc.com/ca/help-centre/installing-gas-struts/understanding-gas-strut-mounting-points/
I built a diy truck bed toolbox with 2 hatches on each side behind the cab. Many rivets, look like battleship hatches. But I almost went with mechanical folding hold-ups for them. Now after seeing this I will go with gas struts. Great Input and information video, Thanks a lot!
Definitely, one of the best videos. straight and to the point, and simple explanations. A massive help to a self build problem. now i know how to sort it out. many thanks.... now subscribed !
@@miked9736 I'm going to hinge the top so it can also be used as a shade/rain cover for a small seating area I'm attaching to the front. Food truck style. Good luck with your project.
Oscar: I contacted Dunn & Watson in Au. They sell struts in Au. The video they put out had all the math . Before I placed an order I asked them them to check my math. They refused, { lost a sale}, Your explanation is far easier to grasp. I would however ask that you include the following. To convert Newtons to pounds, 1 N= 0.224809 My door weight is 75 kgs. 43" High. 30 % is 28.66" 20% is 21 1/2 ". I need a strut that will lift. 0.224809 X 750= 168.06, or 169 pounds. Your video will make Life Easier for many people. Thanks.
Thank you for your positive feedback, I am glad you like it. If your used to pounds it makes sense if you convert it that way, but for my understanding is it easier from kg to N ( your door is 75kg = 750 N ) Cheers
@@oscaroverlander_MB1222AF Hopefully we can do coffee this spring. I need your advice- to many questions ,this is not the place. I will email in about 6 weeks. Yes, my door is that weight. The rear taper of my truck will be a storage area. The back pivots up. Al plate is 176 kgs.
Great video, thanks! FYI, you could weigh the door without removing it by propping it horizontally on a scale form the very edge opposite the hinge, subtracting the weight of whatever you propped it with, and dividing by 2 to account for the fact that the hinge on the other side is supporting half the weight.
Great video. thank you very much. I have a follow up question. If your door or lid is long and you decide to go with 2 pistons. would you divide the Newton by 2? ie: if the lid I wanted to lift was 62 pounds or 28.16 kilograms would I use 2 pistons at 276.23 Newtons or 2 pistons at roughly 138 Newtons?
Thanks!
Oh wow ! My very first tip ... thanks a lot !

If I end up with 40N , and I want two struts, should they be 20N each , or a bit more like 25N ?
