Used these on an aquarium stand with inset doors. They work great.

These didn't work well for my application because the throw was too long. I'm using these as a push to open mechanism (PTOM) for the pocket doors in my house, which are equipped with soft open and close mechanisms (SOCM).Ideally the pocket door could be slid open at the lowest speed possible, hit the PTOM, and the SOCM would carry the door all the way into the pocket, latching the PTOM into the closed position. If you know anything about springs and soft close mechanisms, you should see the paradox here.The springs in the PTOM need to be soft enough that the SOCM can fully retract and latch the PTOM, but then they need to be stiff enough to overcome the SOCM when you push in and release the PTOM. As far as I know this is physically impossible. However, there is at least one YouTube video that says this capability exists in Canada or Europe or maybe both...no clue how you can do it though because the PTOM needs to have a weaker spring than the SOCM upon opening the door (closing the PTOM), but a stronger spring upon closing the pocket door (releasing the PTOM).The other thing you need to look out for is having the correct throw. If the throw is too long, the SOCM will not "grab" the door before it hits the PTOM. This will cause the door to bounce off the PTOM. Unless you use the magnets maybe. I didn't because the SOCM should hold the door into the PTOM and the magnets would make it unnecessarily more difficult to pull out of the pocket. On the other side, if the throw is too short, the door won't come out of the pocket far enough to grab. The ideal throw would allow the SOCM to just barely grab before hitting the PTOM, and then when releasing PTOM it would be able to just barely escape the clutches of the SOCM.In the end physics still wins and the throw was simply to long for my SOCMs.I give these three stars because they are nice unit but not working for my application. But apparently (according to a statement on YouTube, i could find 0 examples though) Canada and Europe has exactly what I need but nobody sells it in the states and I'm trying to encourage getting them here.Ultimately someone should sell a PTOM with a matching SOCM that are designed to work as I described above. But since, throw and spring force both need to be matched, a single manufacturer would probably be the only one who could make it work perfectly, if it's possible. Or a unit with tuneable spring tension and throw may be the best option, but then it would probably cost a lot more and i didn't see any like that. However these can easily be opened up and you can change the spring and maybe even the throw somehow. I really wanted to try the "EZ OPEN" PTOM. but at $45 a pop, I wasnt willing to experiment with that kind of money.I ended up going with a 3-4" long round unit that was, less expensive, much easier to install and has much better throw for my application than these ones.

Other than being pretty fragile these work great. Fairly easy install is also a bonus.
