Replacement kitchen cupboard hinge.


Recommended Posts

I have tried all of the usual main sources for a replacement (gas) hinge, all to no avail.
Might anyone know of a source, that still stocks and sells this kind of hinge please - see attached?

Try Lazada search for "gas spring strut".

 

You'll have to hunt out one of the correct length with the right fittings.

Thank you to all here, these items are all very similar.
But perhaps the devil is in the detail here.

Fully extended my present strut support measures 28cm.
From the top of the frame, to the half way middle point of the bottom of the strut fitting, it is 245Cm.
On Lazada some items are coming up with a reference of say 100N(10kg) for example, no idea what this might mean, and what would be suitable for my door flap?
When the prices vary so wildly on Lazada and Shopee, I'm really wondering if these items are like for like.

It might be the force needed to close it. How easy is/was your original to open/close?

Relatively easy, not a lot of pressure.

If you cannot you have the option to move the position of the hinge(s).

The hinge has to more or less remain in the same position.

Virtually guaranteed that they are not. Some genuine brand name imported products maybe but something like that? No.

"Furniture strut" shows a lot of options with Lazada, Shoppee, etc.  Another option is take one to the kitchen cabinet makers in big box stores and ask if they can help.
