Re: [DML] Door Struts Opinion

[Marc Levy <malevy_nj@xxxxxxxxx>]

When did you buy them??

I have a set of rear louver struts I purchased in 2002
that did not last as long as the previous set of
struts I got from Rob sometime in the mid 1990's.

I suspect his source may have made a weak set sometime
in the 2001-2002 time frame, which may be below the
top-notch quality we have come to expect from Grady. 
3 years is on the low side of what I think they should
last, but it is not unreasonable.  The ones I saw Rob
installing at the DMA spring event this year looked to
be a bit stronger than the ones from 2002...  At least
they did not cause damage like some other struts out
there have done.

After seeing what has been done by struts that are too
long, and others that have too much force, I would
prefer to error on the side of having to replace them
more often.

With all of the competition on this particular item,
It probably would be a good idea to try other struts. 
I doubt your primary vendor (whoever it may be) will
mind much because the prices have dropped such that I
doubt it is a high-margin item.  

The DPNW ones sound interesting... But all of my doors
are working fine right now with Grady struts.
