Hatch springs are o k but if you inadvertently catch them they collapse and the lid comes crashing down usually on your hand or head! I would go for the gas strut option.

I have used them as they where fitted to a boat I had, no problem with them ,as said they can collapse when you knock them but you do need to give them quite a push to get them to close not just a nudge!

Take a ride to your local car breakers & find a pair of hatchback or bonnet gas struts of the required length should be able to find something for a few quid unless your looking for an oddball length
