REFLECTOR: gas spring for door

[NMFlyer1 at aol.com]

Doug, 
 
Doesn't seem like anyone answered your real question. I bought mine  
different from the old factory type, and changed things a bit. I ordered them by  
spec, not by application. Therefor, you can cross reference the size and  
pressures you want. 
 
Here is where I bought mine:   

_SPD  gas springs and hardware - hinges, handles, drawer slides, latches, 
catches  and locks - A Barnes Group, Inc. Company_ 
(http://www.spdhardware.com/catalog/list.asp?id={A818FF64-E51A-422F-A59A-4E2E52A3BDA2})  
With SPD, it is best if you order online, if you call in a phone order..  
they have higher purchase minimums. 
 
 
Here is a similar company:    _Gas Springs, Gas  Cylinders, Dampers, Struts 
and Shock Absorbers from SUSPA Incorporated_ 
(http://www.suspa-inc.com/products/gassprings.htm)  
 
 
Hope that helps.

My gas spring for the door is 20 years old and won't hold the door up.  It's 
made by Eberhard, part number EB-EAA-8350-P1-60. It's 12 inches fully  
extended. Is this same gas spring shipped with the kit today?

I bought  one at AutoZone today that was 12.5" long, but I think the spring 
is too strong.  It distorts the door a little when it's closed.
