Gas Struts – Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ - What are the most common reasons to replace or buy gas struts?
Customers usually need gas struts for one of three reasons:
- Their old struts have worn out and lost lifting power
- They’ve added extra weight (like solar panels or roof racks) and need stronger struts
- They’re installing gas struts on a door or hatch for the first time
FAQ - How do I upgrade to stronger gas struts?
If you’ve added extra weight and the door no longer stays up, you may need stronger struts.
To choose the right upgrade, you’ll need:
- Length Overall
- Length of Travel
- Original force rating
- How much extra weight you’ve added
This lets you keep the same size but increase the lifting force.
FAQ - How do I choose gas struts for a door that never had them?
If you’re installing gas struts for the first time, you’ll need four pieces of information:
- H — Half the height of the door
- G — Weight of the door (in kilograms → convert to newtons)
- L — Mounting distance from the hinge
- Strut length — Usually around 60% of the door height
FAQ - How do I measure the height of the door?
Measure the full drop of the door from hinge to bottom.
Example:
If the door is 1000 mm tall, half of that is:
H = 500 mm
FAQ - How do I weigh the door?
Use a broomstick and bathroom scales.
- Best method: weigh the door halfway along
- If you weigh it at the end, double the reading
Example:
5 kg door → 5 × 10 = 50 N
FAQ - Where should gas struts be mounted?
A good rule is to mount the strut 20% of the door height from the hinge.
Example:
1000 mm door → mount at 200 mm
FAQ - What length gas strut do I need?
A simple rule:
Choose a strut around 60% of the door height.
Example:
1000 mm door → 595 mm strut length
FAQ - How much force do I need?
Using the example measurements (1000 mm door, 5 kg weight, 20% mounting point), the calculation gives:
≈ 72 N
Because struts come in standard sizes, the closest match would be:
100 N in a 595 mm length
FAQ - Can I install gas struts myself?
Gas struts are under high pressure.
If you’re not confident, it’s best to have them installed by someone experienced. Our workshop can do this for you if needed.
Always keep fingers clear of pinch points and wear eye protection.

Quick prompt delivery . Great description .
I was given a bum steer by the original parts supplier meaning I purchased an incorrect part from Everything Caravans.
Not only did they refund my purchase on its return they found the correct part number and who I could get it from.
You can't get better than that!
Fantastic service thankyou

Item as described - arrived swiftly
Thanks Everything Caravans for being so pleasant to do business with. Bought some awning straps for peace of mind, they arrived fast, well packaged and I was kept informed throughout the entire process - form ordering to delivery. And the "thankyou" email I received was a lovely touch. Look forward to doing business with you again in the future and I'll definitely recommend you whenever the opportunity arises.
Good clean product, fitted perfectly, excellent delivery time, will definitely recommend them. +AAA
