All, many thanks for all the comments. I should have clarified a bit. I do have magnets and they work well for me. What I'm trying to solve for is my grandson who gets in the storage area and i fear the weight of the door will pinch fingers and dent his noggin. So, i was thinking gas support struts would help with this. I am willing to put up with the risk of banging my head if I can reduce the risk to him. Again appreciate the many replies and information.
