Hinged bracket to hold open cupboard doors

None of our horizontal cupboard doors have any means of keeping them in an open position. Has anyone fixed any brackets to enable the doors to be held up and open? If so what did you use? Very interested in any options!

I have one in this new trailer that I haven't had time to address. Not had them before but figure I will see if I can find a small gas strut for it.

On your SOB 5th wheel, we removed the wine rack above the microwave. Standard mod, well documented on their forum, you order the drawer front from the top drawer in the bed room dresser and the manufacturer installs the hinges on the long side for you. It is to short vertically for a standard strut(could not find a short one, so I had to shorten one to make it work. I took the strut apart, and shorten the tube and spring, putting it back together.

Not sure who thought a wine rack there was a good idea. Chris

I didn't realize that Cougar had "returned to that type door"... PITA for sure.

There are several different types of "cabinet struts" available for "lift up cabinet doors"... Some are spring loaded, some are gas struts, some are "folding self locking/manual unlocking struts...
