Need to replace a bunch of these and wondering if anyone has purchased recently. I see this strut on eBay for $12.98 apiece. Anyone have a source at lower cost?

Call FOT parts dept. tomorrow. I recently bought some larger struts from them and they were cheaper.
Years ago FOT parts was the least expensive source.
You need to be careful with the pressure of the struts. One vendor was selling some a while back that turned out to be higher pressure than needed or labeled - caused more than one member's cabinet to be damaged.
Check out Moore industrial supply on web. Have bought from them in the past and just ordered more. They are back ordered now but best price I've found for oem replacements.

Roger,
I'm sorry....
$32.00.....EACH??
I replaced all of them on all of my overhead cabinet doors. Bought them from FOT. They had them in stock at competitive prices
Last time I bought them from FOT they were about $10 or $11 each. And then more from the MC Club parts trailer. My guess is that they are $12 or $13 now. I will be there in late Feb and get a dozen or so. When you change them be sure to put a change date on the new one. Very hard to remember which got done when without it.
Little older thread but I picked up enough to replace all of mine yesterday at FOT, they were $12.70 each. They said they buy them in bulk and always have them. Suspa brand. Kids enjoyed changing them out :)
Harco-group.com industrial hardware. Still 10.00 all day long!
I have used these on all my cabinets from Amazon. 2 for $9 delivered !

I think I've mentioned before - watch the force/pressure of non-Suspa struts. Some have had cabinet damage from using them - pulling hinges and screws out of the surrounding cabinet opening....
