Upswinging Cabinet Door

lazyman

Hi
I have attached images of the hinges from an upswinging cabinet door I have
When working properly you lift the door up and it holds itself fully up and then when being closed, it slowly drops down
However now the door wont stay up and you have to hold it up otherwise it will slam down shut
I am guessing the hinges are at fault but can they be repaired or do I need new hinges
There is no obvious visual sign of a defect with them
Thanks

I think it's called a 'vertical swing liftup mechanism'.

The problem is likely the 'gas pistons' or gas struts'.

If you can see what strength the pistons are you might be able to get them replaced.

SGS engineering sell gas struts in all sizes.
The struts that are on the door will have the specs printed on the side, just make a note of the spec and order some of the same.
