Description
Product Overview
The JZK 2X 100N gas hydraulic strut is engineered to provide smooth, controlled motion for heavy doors and lids. Crafted from solid metal, the strut offers a robust construction that resists corrosion and wear, ensuring long‑term performance in demanding environments. Each unit is rated for a maximum load of 20 kilograms, allowing two struts to safely support doors up to 40 kilograms when installed together.
Designed with a compact 27 cm arm length and a 1.5 cm thickness, the strut fits discreetly within cabinet frames, toy boxes, and storage chests without compromising interior space. The finish is left unfinished, giving you the flexibility to paint or coat the strut to match your existing hardware palette. The included mounting screws simplify the installation process, and the door‑mount type ensures a secure attachment point that distributes load evenly across the hinge.
Technical specifications include a force rating of 100 N per strut, a metal composition, and a silver color that blends seamlessly with most hardware finishes. The product is packaged as a set of two struts, providing a balanced lift for larger applications. With a lightweight design of just 7.4 ounces per strut, the unit adds minimal weight while delivering maximum functional benefit.
Beyond its primary function, the strut also acts as a shock absorber, reducing the impact and noise associated with rapid door closures. This dual‑action capability makes it an ideal solution for environments where quiet operation and gentle handling are essential, such as residential kitchens, workshops, and children’s play areas.
JZK, a reputable brand in hardware solutions, ensures each strut meets strict quality standards. The product carries the model number 100N and is identified by the part number 100N, making it easy to reference for replacements or future upgrades. Its best‑seller rank in the mechanical gas springs category reflects its popularity among DIY enthusiasts and professional installers alike.
Usage
This gas strut is perfectly suited for a variety of heavy‑duty applications. In kitchen cabinets, it provides a soft‑close experience for upper doors, preventing slamming and extending the lifespan of hinges. For large wooden toy boxes, the strut eases the effort required to lift the lid, making it safer for children to access their toys without assistance.
In workshop settings, the strut can be employed on storage chests that hold tools and equipment, allowing quick access while maintaining a controlled closure to protect delicate items. It also works well on flip‑up panels used in garage organization systems, where a smooth, reliable lift is essential for efficient workflow.
Homeowners looking to upgrade outdated hardware will find the strut an excellent retrofit option. Its universal door‑mount design accommodates a wide range of door thicknesses and mounting hole configurations, ensuring compatibility with most existing cabinet structures.
Installation does not require specialized tools; a standard screwdriver and the provided screws are sufficient to secure the strut. The straightforward process makes it accessible for DIY projects, while the reliable performance satisfies professional installers seeking dependable hardware for commercial installations.
Because the strut operates silently, it is also an ideal choice for environments where noise reduction is a priority, such as libraries, study rooms, or bedrooms where a sudden slam could be disruptive.

FAQ
How do I determine the correct number of struts for my door?
Each JZK 2X strut is rated for a 10 kg load, so two struts together can safely support up to 20 kg. For doors heavier than 20 kg, consider using additional struts or a higher‑force model to distribute the load evenly and maintain smooth operation.
Can the strut be painted to match my cabinet hardware?
Yes, the strut’s unfinished metal finish allows you to apply paint, powder coating, or other finishes. Ensure the surface is clean and free of oils before painting, and allow the coating to cure fully before installation to achieve a durable, matching appearance.
Is the strut suitable for outdoor use?
While the strut is made from corrosion‑resistant metal, it is primarily designed for indoor applications. For outdoor use, additional protective measures such as a weather‑proof coating or enclosure are recommended to prevent exposure to moisture and extreme temperatures.
What tools are required for installation?
Installation typically requires a Phillips‑head screwdriver, a drill (optional for pre‑drilling holes), and the mounting screws included in the package. No specialized tools or equipment are needed, making it a straightforward DIY project.
How does the soft‑close feature work?
The internal hydraulic piston creates resistance as the door closes, slowing the motion and preventing sudden impacts. This controlled resistance allows the door to settle gently into its closed position, protecting both the door and surrounding hardware from wear.
