The metallic gray folding piston is an essential accessory to open smoothly closet or cabinet doors and that these mechanisms support the weight of these enclosures, without a problem. This piston is indicated for wooden and aluminum doors with 16 mm and 19 mm thick and straight cup hinge dimensions with 15 mm overlap. These dampers are recommended for doors with dimensions less than 450 mm, if the door exceeds this measure, 2 dampers must be used. It is made of steel and plastic with an aluminum-colored finish. Its opening angle can be 80 °, 90 °, and 100 ° with a total force of 12 kg. Packaging of 20 units.

We have a table for calculating the weight of a door, which is necessary to know when choosing guy ropes and measurements.Depending on the material of the door, as well as its dimensions, the result will be the weight of the door (kg) that you can use to calculate to the necessary strength of the measure (Kg x cm).

We have a table for calculating the pistons or dampners, where you can obtain a response with the furniture data.The choice will depend on the width and the height of the door, as well as the material it is manufactured out of, in addition to the stroke of the piston or damper itself.The result will be the number of pistons or dampners and the necessary strength of each one.

For the same force required in both folding and lift up doors, we recommend that you only use a single piston or damper in a door with a width of less than 450 mm, and that you use two pistons or dampers for a door that is wider than 450 mm.
