[QUOTE="Rum River, post: 2093731, member: 16869"] I think gas struts are the way to go. Today I put a single vertical prop in the middle of one of the open doors and the other end on a bathroom scale. Came out to 50 lbs load, but that included the weight of the prop itself. That's less than I thought it would be but I'm going to figure for a hundred pound load - I always like a bigger margin. Located an online calculator to configure what struts I need. At this point it looks like a pair for each door will run around $125. Want to get lockable models so I can set them at whatever position I want. [/QUOTE]
