McMaster Carr also sells gas struts.  That's what I did thanks to Malcolm
Collier suggestion as I put the doors in initially.  They come both by lbs
of force value and length.  The big advantage is they lock open with a pin
like device.

800-821-3250. Price was $32.67. Part number was 6306UK. I am sure if you can
describe what you need they can fix you up with the correct part.
