Just a bit more about door struts (gas springs).  Don't necessarily believe
the force ratings.  I ordered 2 struts for McMaster; a shorter 60# for the
right door, and a longer 50# to replace the 60# strut I got from Velocity.
Before I installed them I measured the force to compress them.  The one from
Velocity was actually 60#.  The 60# strut from MC was actually 70-75#, and
50# was 60-65#.  Returned them for ratings 10# lower.

 

FWIW,
