Perfect explanation and to the point. Now I can finish the hardware on my hopper cabinet doors in my beautiful finished attic library. You are so clear and encouraging!!
@@rhkennerly you can check this webpage if you like to know, there is a push up and a flip/roll over install explained. camloc.com/ca/help-centre/installing-gas-struts/understanding-gas-strut-mounting-points/
Definitely, one of the best videos. straight and to the point, and simple explanations. A massive help to a self build problem. now i know how to sort it out. many thanks.... now subscribed !
Great video, thanks! FYI, you could weigh the door without removing it by propping it horizontally on a scale form the very edge opposite the hinge, subtracting the weight of whatever you propped it with, and dividing by 2 to account for the fact that the hinge on the other side is supporting half the weight.
Oscar: I contacted Dunn & Watson in Au. They sell struts in Au. The video they put out had all the math . Before I placed an order I asked them them to check my math. They refused, { lost a sale}, Your explanation is far easier to grasp. I would however ask that you include the following. To convert Newtons to pounds, 1 N= 0.224809 My door weight is 75 kgs. 43" High. 30 % is 28.66" 20% is 21 1/2 ". I need a strut that will lift. 0.224809 X 750= 168.06, or 169 pounds. Your video will make Life Easier for many people. Thanks.
Thank you for your positive feedback, I am glad you like it. If your used to pounds it makes sense if you convert it that way, but for my understanding is it easier from kg to N ( your door is 75kg = 750 N ) Cheers
@@oscaroverlander_MB1222AF Hopefully we can do coffee this spring. I need your advice- to many questions ,this is not the place. I will email in about 6 weeks. Yes, my door is that weight. The rear taper of my truck will be a storage area. The back pivots up. Al plate is 176 kgs.
@@miked9736 I'm going to hinge the top so it can also be used as a shade/rain cover for a small seating area I'm attaching to the front. Food truck style. Good luck with your project.
Hey Oscar, like so many others have said, thanks for the excellent demo! Even I understood it whereas other supposed explanations defeated my dyslexia from start to finish! One question: if using 2 struts do I half the strength/N of each or stay with the strength/N required for 1 strut so that 1 can do the job (if either needs replacing)?
Thank you very much ! To answer your question it would be best if you watch the Q and A on the topic. ruclips.net/video/VvD6kzq3kts/видео.html Cheers !
Great video. The original strut on my kitchen cabinet was too long and overpowered. I just got a properly-sized and properly-loaded pair for $5 on Amazon. The larger ones were 2x-3x the price!
Great video. thank you very much. I have a follow up question. If your door or lid is long and you decide to go with 2 pistons. would you divide the Newton by 2? ie: if the lid I wanted to lift was 62 pounds or 28.16 kilograms would I use 2 pistons at 276.23 Newtons or 2 pistons at roughly 138 Newtons?
Thanks mate, I’m making a lid for my Ute tub, I’m thinking of weighing every piece of steel separately then adding them All up becuase it’s gonna have some weight lmao
now now thank you very much for such a Genius video, after saying this video, I have resolved so many issues that I had faced during the production. Still, I have one request, Will you please upload a video where we can use a gas strut from inside the object it will help me a lot thank you.
Glad to hear that, thanks for commenting. Yes I will show my skylight and Panorama hatch from the inside if fully installed in my habitat of my Expedition truck. Watch out for the upcoming videos !
Great video, best one on youtube. But no mention of the mounting position of the other end of the gas strut (not door side). As I think if you don't mount it properly it would just push the door out itself, or not assist much. Do you have a good rule for that? Thanks
Thanks!
Oh wow ! My very first tip ... thanks a lot !
Excellent work! This is what RUclips is supposed to be. Keep it up. You’re a logical good teacher.
SIMPLE and TO THE POINT!!! I just subscribed, Thanks!!!
Length is 1/2 to 2/3 of the door
Weight is what is weights!!!
20% if strong, 30% for weaker
You got it ! Thank you ,
