Way O/T - Mini Hydraulic Struts For Cabinet Doors Needed

[Captain Colonial]

OK, this one's really an odd one I know, but here goes.

 

Just got back from Spain about a week ago, and the apartment we were in was lovely, with a brand new kitchen.  One of the cabinets had a door that opened upwards, but was held in the open position by a small gas strut, similar to the ones you see holding open car hatchback doors.  It had mounting plates at either end so you could just screw it on and job done.

 

I've been looking for something exactly like that for years - I need two for the cabinet in the cellar where the meters and circuit boards live, behind a huge heavy PDF door.

 

Anybody know where to find these and hopefully with a link to buy them?  Thanks!
