What brand of doors do you have, and where are you ordering your struts from? I was wondering if they were a pretty universal part, or if you specifically needed one manufactured by the same company.

it depends how they made the kit. some have 2 struts per door or 1 like mine. Hard part is find the same threading and end fitting.
