Question:
Used these for custom overhead cabinets i made in my camper, the doors are 1x3 poplar frames with 1/4inch plywood center, ~20inch wide x 8inch tall. So not terribly heavy, but are wood, not particle board so maybe heavier than OEM camper doors. I have a pair of these spring loaded hinges on each door, and the hinges will not hold the doors up in the open position. I can feel where they relieve a bit of the weight, but nowhere close to strong enough for my doors. Do you offer a stronger version i could exchange them for? Really would prefer something that holds the door up, otherwise using a spring loaded expensive hinge is useless.

Expert Reply:
There's not a stronger version of the Spring Supports # 37270705 you have for your custom cabinets, but you should be able to add these struts # 37270545 to add more resistance for keeping the cabinets open.
Keep in mind these are designed for standard RV Cabinets which use very thin, cheap wood that's lightweight so with custom doors you'll be kind of figuring out exactly what's going to work for the weight of your doors.
