Gosh, our struts open hard and close like a guillotine. They are so stout they pulled the bed frame from the wall; of course the fine craftsmanship that used only two small mounting screws did not help. :) :)
I would suggested new struts.

After a year, the screws all pulled out of the section that lifts. I tried replacing, and it did the same again. I ended up reinforcing the plywood with heavier 1x4's so the screws had something to actually "bite" into. Then did the same for the part the hinge mounts to on the frame area. Then used longer more stout screws. Of course, this added even more weight. But they've not pulled out since. The stick work very well to hold it open.
