    Basement gas strut conversion

    For the ones that have done this....what lb and length do you go with and is there any advice on ta-do's and/or ta-don't's?
    Thanks

    I'm not sure if I understand the question, but I will assume you want to add struts to a storage door that flips up.

    Look at this link and see if it helps. I used these to put struts on my front compartment storage door that flips up. I put one on each side as the door was long.

    JMO of course, but after having the magnets to hold the doors open, I think I would look at those instead of the struts. Provided nothing interferes. I installed the struts on our last trailer to replace the catches, but I really like the magnets better.
