Wall Cabinet Gas Struts – 150mm 100N – Lift-Up Cupboard Door Support – 2x L + 2x Flat Brackets – Pair (2 Pack)
✓ IN STOCK - SHIPS TODAY
Compact lift support designed for wall-mounted cabinets where space is tight, and movement must stay controlled.
This 150mm 100N gas strut set is built for kitchen wall cupboards, bathroom cabinets, utility units and similar overhead furniture doors. The short length suits shallow cabinet frames, while the 100N rating delivers practical assistance for light doors without aggressive push-up force.
Bracket flexibility included: this kit comes with 2x L brackets + 2x flat brackets, so you can match the mounting style to your cabinet layout instead of forcing one fixed geometry.

Best Use Cases
This model is intended for indoor cabinet doors where the cabinet depth is limited and long-stroke struts cannot operate correctly.
- Kitchen wall cabinets (lift-up doors)
- Bathroom wall cupboards
- Utility storage units
- Overhead furniture compartments
Suggested Door Weight (using two struts): approx. 2–15kg
Typical Door Size Range: small to medium cabinet doors (shallow depth)
If your door is heavier than 15kg or feels difficult to lift, you may need a stronger force rating and/or a longer length (200mm / 250mm, depending on geometry).
What 100N Feels Like in Real Use
When installed correctly, 100N provides a natural assisted lift rather than a springy “kick”. Customers typically choose this force when they want:
- smooth opening from the closed position
- stable hold-open access while using the cabinet
- less hinge strain over time
- controlled closing without sudden drop
Tip: If a door jumps upward or feels too forceful, the struts may be overpowered for the door's weight or mounted too far from the hinge line.
2x L + 2x Flat Brackets: When to Use Which
L brackets are ideal when you need an offset from the cabinet side wall to achieve better alignment in tight interiors.
- best for side-wall mounting inside cabinet frames
- useful when clearance is limited near hinges
Flat brackets suit clean, low-profile mounting on flatter surfaces such as door panels or internal plates.
- best when the mounting surface is flat and accessible
- helps keep the installation compact
Many wall cabinet installs use L bracket on the cabinet body and flat bracket on the door side to keep movement smooth while maintaining internal clearance.
Installation Notes (Practical Guidance)
- Install one strut per side for balanced lift
- Start by loosely fitting brackets, then test the motion before final tightening
- Ensure the strut has slight compression when the door is fully closed (preload improves stability)
- Mounting position directly affects force feel — small changes can make a big difference
Choosing the Right Force
For two 100N struts (200N combined output):
• Light cabinet doors (5–8kg) → Smooth, balanced lift
• Medium doors (8–12kg) → Ideal performance range
• Heavier doors (12–15kg) → Installation position becomes critical
• Over 16kg → Consider 200N version
Always calculate the door panel weight only (exclude cabinet contents).
Actual performance depends on the mounting distance from the hinge and the lid depth.
Safety & Care
- Indoor cabinetry use is recommended
- Do not mix old and new struts on the same door
- Replace as a pair to keep lifting balanced
- Keep fingers clear of hinge areas during the first test cycles
