[C320-list] Fridge Lid Soft Close Solution Needed

[kendgb]

We had a couple of close calls with that lid.I screwed an eye onto the under side of the door and another onto the upper wood trim of the bread box.  Then I tied a short cord with a spring hook on the end that can be hooked to the bread box eye to safely hold the lid until it is ready to be closed.Ken Geiger Northern Dream #765Sent from my Samsung Galaxy smartphone.

Does anyone have a good solution for adding a soft close hinge orgas spring?  My ice box is on the left side of the fridge and is a little 5inches below the cabinet lid top.  I'm thinking a gas strut could be a goodsolution, but want to make sure I explore all options and understand thebest placement location to ensure I still get a good seal on the gasketwhen closed.Thanks in advance for your help.Gary GuilbeauxLil' Bit of ParadiseHull #634gguilbeaux at gmail.com
