Re: Electric door bump thingie

Good ideas, but the door is very very heavy and I think your suggestions may
be a bit finicky.

Thanks.

| Simple solution #1  Pick up some coil springs at the local hardware store.

The

the
| door is shut and the mag is energized.  When the mag is de-energized the
| springs would then just push the door open.  You could install the spring
in
| the door itself at the top on the strike side.  Mount and small angle
| bracket for it to push against.  Simple?? Yes!!!!
|
| Not as Simple solution #2   Go to a local auto parts dealer and pick up a
| gas charged support rod.  Like what is on lift gates or hoods.  Here you
| will have to find one that has the right dimensions to fit your door.
When
| fitted properly and the door is closed with the mag energized all is well.
| When the mag is de-energized the gas piston will gently push the door
open.

| Good luck,
