Gas spring kit for small doors

The set is built into the furniture to open and hold the side door. It opens evenly, easily and silently, and does not require much effort to operate.

The gas spring set can be used to open and hold small and medium-sized vertical furniture doors in open position. The opening angle can be adjusted by adjusting the mounting positions during installation.

Technical information for opening door design and construction

Contents of the package:

  • 1 pc gas spring
  • 2 pcs brackets

The following shoud be considered when designing:

  • It is reccommended to use 2 pcs (1-1 on the sides) of gas springs above 300mm door width to avoid deformation.
  • For proper operation, it is required to use the matchnig gas spring strength for the weight, dimension, and opening anlge of the door.
  • The screws are not included in the set.

Installation for upwards opening door

  • The drawing below shows how to install the unit. The dimensions specified with the variables can be read from the table according to the desired opening angle.
  • Before installation, make sure that the surface is suitable for mounting the fittings.
  • The gas springs must always be retrofitted to the assembled furniture, with their thicker ends up.

Gas spring force range

Calculation of the spring force for 1 pc gas spring is based on the opening angle (Z), weight of the door (m), and depending on its lenght (x) are the following:

F= (X *m *H) *2

Units of variables in the formula:
F= Newton [N]
X= Centimeter [cm]
m= Kilogramm [Kg]

Z [°] L1[mm] L2 [mm] H
90 229 64 0,40
100 216 55 0,47
110 212 46 0,52
120 206 41 0,57

Optional forces [N]: 30, 50, 80, 100, 120, 150, 175, 200.

Attention! The formula shown is valid only for installation on the basis of the specified drawing, otherwise it will change. It is also possible to deliver gas springs with different force than indicated, in this case please contact our customer service.

Installation for downwards opening door

  • The drawing below shows how to install the unit.
  • Before installation, make sure that the surface is suitable for mounting the fittings.
  • The gas springs must always be retrofitted to the assembled furniture, with their thicker ends up.

Gas spring force range

If the unit is used for this purpose, the weight of the door helps in motion the gas spring has only a braking role, therefore we deliver without gas filling (0N).
