I need a couple of the spring cylinder lifts for the overhead cabinets. My PO had removed a door and installed a microwave and we're going back to a door.

I know I can find things that will work, but I'd prefer the same style as original.

Anyone got any they will part with? You can PM or email me at Pinkertonk at yahoo dot com.

I don't think that GM used any spring cylinder lifts. They must have been an add on by a prior owner.

GM used hinges which had springs in the hinge.

I had a couple go bad, and found replacements at the local RV dealer. Judging from how many he had it ooked to me to be a fairly common item. JWIT

Sorry, I do not get it, 2 for $ 30 including shipping and you can make an offer on them, not the spring type but with gas that are better in my mind..
