Soft Close Toy Box Hinges with Gas Spring, Strut, and Shock Technology

Love them !!! Lynn: My husband added these to a nice toy box I saved from my granddaughter. These air shock brackets worked so well, we have passed it down to my great great niece.

Sarah: I bought these to assist a chest to open... they do not close. If I could choose 0 stars I would. Returning item what a waist of my time.

Hogdooz: The product arrived to me broken and damaged. The shipping packaging appeared to be OK. The internal packaging that the struts were in appeared to have been previously opened, the hardware package had been ripped open with a broken bracket and the ball end clip on the strut was broken. Completely unusable.

jefferyjeffery: Used these to change the opening direction of cabinet doors above the refrigerator. Did a fair amount of measuring, layout, and adjusting to get things to work out. But overall very happy with them. I did have one cylinder go out after one year and needed to replace it, but the other one has lasted 3 years so far without issues.

Melissa: I have a toybox at my place for my grandson. It was handmade by a wonderful man for his grandkids and now I have it, which I know he would be happy about.
Anyhow, this is a very heavy wooden toybox. It only had simple hinges holding the top on and one small handle to lift the top. I needed a way to make it so my little guy didn't drop the heavy lid on his hands when trying to get things out. So I replaced the hinges with heavy duty ones and thought of how I love my slow close cabinets. I found these and ordered them right away.
Now installing was a challenge for me. Trying to figure out placement so that it would work right took a couple tries, but I figured it out. I am a single woman who learns this stuff on her own. But now the toybox closes smoothly and my grandson is so happy he can start using it to keep his room clean at grandma's house.
So reasons for stars on review:
Instructions- I would not call them instructions. You need to look online to see how they work and stuff, but still won't get instructions. It took a bit for me to figure out how to get the bracket off the strut because nowhere does it tell you to use a flat head and pry the little metal part...

Morag Gauld: After I fitted the struts the brackets bent they are poor quality and not strong enough to take to force of the struts. Also the screws provide were poor quality very soft steel.

Mark: These are strong struts. They bent the hings on the box I installed them on. I had to install additional hinges. Also the install instructions are not very clear. I used the measurements they provided and the lid did not open the 90 degrees it said it would, more like 45 degrees. But I got them installed and they work good. Just tug up on the lid and it opens fully.
