Hi folks,

I've built a small kitchen unit to store our recycling bins.

I've attached the hinges to the bottom of the unit as my plan is to open the door (a standard 600mm cabinet door) and inside the heavy weave bag will be hooked to the door so it opens wider at the same time to allow larger boxes, bottles, etc to be popped in the recycling.

I'm looking for a gas strut to gently return the door to the closed position when you let go of the door. I can find loads of gas struts that open cabinets, but none that seem to close them. I believe they're called pull or tension struts, but can't find anything that seems a sensible choice.

Any suggestions/links?
Thanks
