61 lbs for the Stabilus

Richard And Babs Ames:
If you are in a rush take the old one to a chain Auto Parts store like Advance and they will have them the same day or AM the next. As long as the ends, and lenght and PSI is close they will work.

Keith Cooper:
For what its worth:
I have been using Signature SEP200-80 gas struts (80 lb struts) there are four key measurements in a strut: extension length =20”, stroke = 12”, compression = 8” and lifting force = 80 lbs. Its also helpful  to know the interchange  between manufacturers to identify the low cost alternatives. For example, using the strut I am replacing here are the cross reference numbers I found at http://www.liftsupportsdepot.com/lift-supports-depot-10384-w.html
SG359015 | SE200P80 | SE800V80 | SE812V80 | NP200080 | 8195520 | 012152 | 3872LN | 003538 | 230080 | 230080 | GP53080 | GP53080P | GU08.OP-80 | GU08OP80 | 183160 | GL2080 | GL2080 | GS230080 | SPD230080 | NI230080 | GS530080 | GS5300-80 | SPD-2300-80 | SPD-230080 | SPD2300-80 | NI-2300-80 | NI-230080 | NI2300-80 | SE812A-80 | SL34-80 | ML34-80 | SL-3480 | ML-34-80 | SL-34-80 | SL14-80-1 | SL-14801 | SL-14-80-1 | SL14-80-5 | SL-14805 | SL-14-80-5 | SL34-80 | ML34-80 | SL-3480 | ML-34-80 | SL-34-80 | SL34-80-1 | SL-34801 | SL-34-80-1 | SL34-80-5 | SL-34805 | SL-34-80-5 | SL3480 | SL34801 | SL34805 | ML3480
Lift Support Depot price was $17.95 per strut but using the cross reference numbers with the  R& P carriages e-bay site I was able to save a few bucks (http://stores.ebay.com/R-and-P-Carriages-Trailer-Sales/_i.html?_nkw=gas+springs&submit=Search&_sid=13922267)

Edward Buker:
I have used several brands in the past and if I can find Suspa at a fair price I buy those. The lift action of that brand on the main bay doors I find is superior. They seem to control the lift pressure through the whole range better which balances the door lift better from start to finish. I also recommend 80lbs over the 60lbs for the big vertical rise basement doors given all these lifts lose gas pressure with time so the 80lb version tend to have a longer useful life. If it is a light door I may stick with 60lbs or what was in it.

Dick Simonis:
I've been using these:

I find the locking shroud to be very useful and can lower the lift pressure so the doors close real easy without having to push them done but stay securely in the up position even in heavy wind.  FYI, I only use one locking strut per door.
