They are replacement parts
Denise G on Sep 1, 2016
We used these for two cabinets that raised up. I love them because they hold the door very securely. The instructions could have been better but the second one went smoother than the first.

Building an outside cabinet with a heavy lift door and need quality lift support and hold-open function hardware.

Referred by a woodworking blogger who used these supports on a tack trunk
david t on Apr 19, 2015
We bought the lighter weight lifts for our upper kitchen cabinets several years ago, and thought we had ordered the heavier ones for the largest door. The lighter weight lift operates to lift the larger door, but it slowly falls half way down, so we're ordering the stronger 150 to keep the door up. We have really enjoyed having the cabinet doors open upwards.

Rich H on Jun 27, 2016
mine is in the extended position and i need it to close before i can install it---but i cannot get it to close. Any ideas?
nancy on Nov 23, 2015
BEST ANSWER: You will need to adjust the angle of the attachment to the top and side of the cabinet
I have a toybox with a very heavy (20#) lid. There is a space between the lid and the front wall of the box, so a child can get good leverage to lift the lid. It's just very heavy. Will these supports give enough lift assistance for a 2 1/2 year old to open it? Closing it isn't very important.
A shopper on Jun 25, 2015
BEST ANSWER: I Used the supports on a bench seat with a heavy top. They open great but close to fast and will pich fingers. They're made to be used in a vertical situation.
Would they work on a trap door on a play house?
Ed R on Jun 19, 2015
BEST ANSWER: Perhaps. It would depend on the weight of the trap door and on its design.

The overview section of the product page shows the recommended door weights for the various gas spring models. If your door is within one of these weight limits you should be OK - tho if I were you I would maybe get a more powerful spring than the table indicates in order to compensate for the fact that I believe these springs are designed to lift a vertically hung ( e.g. hinged at the top) door.

A bigger issue for you might be how wide the springs open. You can see from the photos on the product page that the hinge assembly will limit the opening angle to less than 90 deg - which for a trap door would mean that entry/exit thru the trap door will likely require bending/crawling thru an opening on one side only.

Good luck
What hinge should be used with the springs for ace frame overlay cabinets ?
john g on Dec 29, 2015
can they be used in combination with european hinges when the door is inserted in the frame, not overlayed?
A shopper on Jun 11, 2015
BEST ANSWER: I have used these many times with the European style hinges and they have worked perfectly. However, I have not used them on an inlay door. However, the principles are still the same with the hinges whether they are inlay or overlay and the same would go for the gas springs. The hinge determines how the door opens and the gas springs only hold it up, so I would say that you should be fine.
does anyone know if these work well for a flush inset door?
A shopper on Jun 2, 2015
BEST ANSWER: they worked great for me. easy to install, and no problem with supports that were installed 4 years ago
I need to install on a face frame cabinet with inset doors. Can this be done?
Bill K on Jun 19, 2016
BEST ANSWER: I am pretty sure they can. It has been awhile since I have seen the installation sheet but I do believe they give the layout in the instructions.
Can you adjust the tension on the gas spring?
A shopper on Apr 22, 2015
BEST ANSWER: No. U must order the proper lift pressure based on the weight of the cabinet door
Hi I have a wall concealment cabinet that holds a couple rifles. The vertical door measures 27" tall do you think the ones that are for a door up to 24" work.?
Gary P on Aug 3, 2016
BEST ANSWER: It should work, it just depends on how heavy of a door you're using...
I have a lift up door that is 42" high and 60" wide, weighing about 35 pounds. Is there similar hardware that will work?
Mark W on Jun 21, 2016
BEST ANSWER: I think that even with one on each side, you may be pushing it. My suggestion is that (depending on where you live) you go to your closest marine hardware supplier and see what he has in stock. Boats use these frequently and most marine equipment dealers have a variety of gas springs.
I have a door that is only 8" tall...is there anything that would work with that size. it is 36.5 wide and aprox 6-10lbs in weight,,,?
Lisa P on Jun 20, 2016
BEST ANSWER: The only ones I could find was item #66621. This is an overhead bin hinge
How do you know where to mount gas springs for first time installation (not replacement)? I have a cedar storage box with a lid that weighs over 100 lbs. and is 10' x 40". I cannot lift it without some assistance.
Mel B on Jun 19, 2016
BEST ANSWER: Mel . . . These gas spring supports, even the most heavy duty, are not likely to hold your 100 pound lid open. They should help a bit with the load however. I am surprised that there is nothing in the installation instructions about hardware placement. If you look at the drawing, the lid is open to about 80 degrees. Lid side bracket attachment is down from the top about 25% of the total door height. Since the hardware has to fold into the cabinet when closed, you should be able to attach the door end, hold the door open to about 80 degrees, fully extend the movable rod in the device and determine the inside cabinet end location. Make sure the door end bracket is far enough away from the edge of the door to avoid interference but still aligns with the inside of the cabinet bulkhead when closed and that the bracket that mounts to the inside of the cabinet bulkhead is set far enough back from the front edge of the cabinet to allow the door to close completely.
I'm replacing the model BPG2810. Which one is it?
Brant S on Feb 25, 2016
BEST ANSWER: I used these liftomatic devices for my daughter's tack trunk--however, sit did not withstand the "beating" a tack trunk gets at a horseshow. I have used since then other spring loaded hinges (from rockler--I bought them at the local store) and they are far more sturdy. if you think that you need fairly heavy use or stress, do not use these devices.
I have a toy box I built for my grandson. The lid is 21.6 pounds and 23" front to back. I need the proper supports for a child to open it easily and not slam his fingers in it when closing. What hardware do you suggest?
Herb W on May 28, 2016
Hello. I have completed the Rockler Steamer Trunk plan with a 15.2 lb white maple lid. Lid is 20 inches deep from hinges in back to front edge. I'd like to use 150N LiftOMat gas springs, attached to inside of box side, and other end of lift attached to inside of the side of the lid. My question is: can you tell me specific attach points for both ends of Lift OMat in this application?There will be one gas spring on each side, and I'd like to place them on inside of lid & box to keep them out of the way as much as possible. Don't want to misplace them and mess up nice interior of box/lid.

I purchased these hinges to install...
I purchased these hinges to install on the lid of a built-in toy box under a bay-window. It was primarily to provide safety for our grandchildren when they open the vertical-opening lid (weight approx. 10 lbs.) A side benefit is that the hinges also restrict the lid from going past 90 degrees and crashing into the plantation shutters mounted in the bay-window. They work well.

It lifts slowly to full extent, then, when closing it catches the last few inches and lightly snaps shut automatically.

Project used the 150 model to support the opening and closing of a maple lid (panel door) to a audio mixing board enclosure. The lid weighs about 16 pounds. The gas springs work well as expected. They hold the lid upright in a vertical position very well when open. No chance of it falling shut. Requires a bit of a tug to get the lit to begin to close, then the gas springs assist in easing down the lid to about the last foot at which point the gas springs have little effect and gravity takes over. When opening, the gas springs make the lid self opening once it is up about a foot. But you do need to hang onto it so it does not pop open too fast.

I needed to re-engineer two kitchen cabinets from normal operation to a vertical lift open (to accomodate a new refrigerator). I was worried because each door was almost 20 lbs. But the lifts hold the doors very nicely. (I could only install one lift on each door). Assuming these lifts wear well, they are a great product.

I used the shocks on a HEAVY lid for a foyer bench. I did not want my kids to break their fingers. With the Blumotion shock absorbers the lid closes slowly and quietly and opens easily. On problem I had was that the hinge was not very strong so I have to reinforce the hinge.

If you have overhead cabinet with a door lifting up, these lifts are a must. Expensive, but good choice in the long run.

Finally hardware that operates well in applications where doors need to open up- and stay open.Function: helps lift up door after the initial motion- combine with soft-close for smooth operation when closing.Installation: use own screws ( which you do anyway ), by location on door and cabinet, select range of motion and power to help the door open and close. Spring can be removed from mounting bracket by ( carefully ) pulling up tension spring with screwdriver.Great product, thank you Rockler!

Worked perfectly
I used two of these for a 23-lb lid on a handmade wooden tack trunk. They were tricky to mount (since they weren't designed for this use), but they worked perfectly. They also have a clean and professional appearance.
