Bathroom mirror cabinet... stay in “up” position?

We have a 2005 25’ classic and the bathroom has an overhead cabinet with mirror (above the sink). Does anyone know if those can be locked into open/up position? It’s kind of heavy and when I’m loading or cleaning it would be nice to use both hands instead of holding it open with one hand... just curious, thanks!

I installed a gas hinge on the left side of my mirror. It works great for keeping the door propped open and does not interfere with normal operation. It was a very simple and easy install that only required a screwdriver.
