FAQs

What is the weight capacity of each Bohaner gas strut?

Each 100N Bohaner gas strut can support objects up to 10 kg.

What is the maximum opening angle?

These gas struts allow the attached lid or door to open to a maximum angle of 90 degrees.

Can these be used on downward-opening doors?

While primarily designed for upward opening, they can be adapted for downward opening applications with careful consideration of the mounting and desired motion.

How many struts are included in a set?

The product title indicates '2X Cabinet Door Hinges', suggesting a pair of gas struts are included.

What material are the hinges made of?

They are constructed from high-quality steel with an anti-corrosion and anti-rust surface.

Do these struts prevent slamming?

Yes, the hydraulic mechanism provides a soft-close function, preventing doors and lids from slamming shut.

What if my cabinet door is heavier than 10 kg?

For doors heavier than 10 kg, you would need to consider gas struts with a higher Newton (N) rating, such as the 150N variant or higher, depending on the specific weight.

Troubleshooting

Gas strut feels too stiff or too loose.

Adjust the rotatable plastic mounting top on the strut. For stiffness, ensure it's not overtightened. For looseness, check all connections and ensure the strut is correctly seated.

Door does not stay open at the desired angle.

Verify the weight of the door is within the 10 kg limit per strut. If the door is too heavy, a higher N-rated strut may be required. Ensure the strut is installed correctly and securely.

Gas strut makes noise during operation.

Ensure the strut is mounted securely and is not rubbing against any part of the cabinet. Check for any debris or obstructions around the mounting points.

Screws do not seem to fit securely.

Ensure you are using the correct size screws for your cabinet material. If mounting into soft wood, pre-drilling pilot holes might be necessary. Use the provided screws for best results.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify the mounting points on your cabinet door and frame.
  2. Secure the metal mounting plate to the cabinet frame using the provided screws.
  3. Attach the other end of the gas strut to the corresponding mounting point on the door.
  4. Test the opening and closing action, adjusting the rotatable plastic mounting top if necessary for smooth operation.

Compatibility:

These gas struts are compatible with most upward-opening cabinet doors, kitchen cupboards, wardrobes, and toy box lids. Ensure the weight of your door or lid is within the 10 kg limit per strut and consider the 90-degree opening angle.

Care:

Wipe the struts with a dry or slightly damp cloth to clean. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the anti-corrosion coating. Periodically check the mounting screws for tightness.
